Application of catalyst waste to ceramics made of raw materials

Abstract

Investigation of ceramic products is presented in the article. The catalyst waste from catalyst cracking reactor of “Mažeikių Nafta” may be utilised in building ceramics. The work contains description of catalyst characteristics and also presents physical mechanical properties of samples from fusible hydro clays, sand, crushed bricks and foaming mass that 5 % , 10 % and 20 % of catalyst waste. It was determined that the catalyst waste may be utilised in the building ceramics production, but the fragment burning temperature must be increased.
