Recycling Ceramic Production Wastes of Eczacibasi Building Group Bozuyuk Campus
Abstract :
The possibility of use of porcelain stoneware tile fired waste and purification filter press wastes which occur in the production of sanitaryware and coating materials, by their incorporation in a porcelain stoneware body mix, was studied. Starting from a standard body mix, several modified body mixes were prepared with these wastes and two of them was given in present study. The effects of wastes on sintering, firing shrinkage, water absorption, colour variation properties of prepared compositions was studied and the amount of optimum entry to recipes was identified by changing according to analysis results. When the subject project occurred, recipe costs decreased with lower natural resource use, raw material that was carried to campus decreased with utilization of wastes in Bozüyük campus, as a result, CO2 emission that was because of transporting decreased. Decreasing the waste amount that needs to be sent to local garbage collection centers decreased environmental and visual pollution and this helps to leave a cleaner environment the next generations.
