In
this study, usability of marble and boron wastes as alternative raw materials
in the production of bricks was investigated. They were used in different
ratios to prepare samples. Marble waste
in concentrations of 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% were added to the boron waste. Afyon
brick clay was used as a binder in 10 wt%. Specimens were shaped by hydraulic
press and fired at temperatures from 850 to 1050 °C for 4 hours. The crystalline structure and
morphologies of the samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffractometer
(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Flexural strengths
of samples were measured. The reasonable mechanical properties have been
obtained from the brick sample containing 5 wt% marble waste, 85 wt% boron
waste and 10 wt% clay sintered at 1050 °C for 4 hours.
