Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal behaviour of cement-asbestos wastes and to determine whether it is possible to use them in the production of building ceramics, e.g. clinker bricks. In the first part of the research, the process of cement-asbestos thermal decomposition was studied. This asbestos material contained the chrysotile and crocidolite variety of asbestos. The results of this study allowed to determine the lowest temperature of thermal treatment that provides asbestos detoxification. The second part of the paper presents the results of a preliminary study on using previously calcined cement-asbestos wastes as an additive to ceramic masses typical for clinker bricks. Green compacts containing various amounts of cement-asbestos wastes were sintered and then ceramic properties were determined. The results of the study indicate that calcined asbestos-containing materials can be used as one of the secondary raw materials in the production of clinker ceramics.
