Use of Cassava Wastewater and Scheelite Residues in Ceramic Formulations

This book presents original results on the use of cassava wastewater as a substitute for potable water in ceramic formulations. It evaluates the physical and mechanical properties as well as the microstructure of the materials produced, comparing the products obtained from the incorporating effluent with the conventional materials used in the construction industry.

List of contents

Cassava Wastewater: An Introduction, Characterization and Potential.- Soil-Cement Brick with Cassava Wastewater.- Ecological brick of mineral residues and cassava wastewater.- Mortar produced with scheelite residue and cassava wastewater.- Earthbag construction system with cassava wastewater.
