Ecological Soil-Cement Bricks from Waste Materials

This book proposes the use of waste from oil drilling andsugar cane bagasse ash in the production of ecologically friendly soil-cementbricks. It offers a viable alternative to the traditional bricks available onthe market, which use wood as fuel: manufacturing bricks from waste is lesscostly and does not require the consumption of trees and forests. It alsoproposes an alternative to the current discharging of the above-mentioned typesof waste in sanitary landfills, avoiding additional environmental problems.

List of contents

Introduction.- Soil cement bricks.- Solid waste materials.- Using extraction of oil drilling (EOD) in ceramic formulations.- Using EOD and sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) in ceramic formulations.- Concluding remarks.

Summary

This book proposes the use of waste from oil drilling and
sugar cane bagasse ash in the production of ecologically friendly soil-cement
bricks. It offers a viable alternative to the traditional bricks available on
the market, which use wood as fuel: manufacturing bricks from waste is less
costly and does not require the consumption of trees and forests. It also
proposes an alternative to the current discharging of the above-mentioned types
of waste in sanitary landfills, avoiding additional environmental problems.
