Análise da adição de resíduos de ossos bovinos e rochas ornamentais em massa cerâmica branca para a utilização em processos de conformação

Abstract

The disposal of solid waste is seen as an environmental problem. A solution presented by the National Plan for Solid Waste the reuse of waste in new production processes, proposal worked in this paper.The use can also be seen as a technological solution because adds functional and aesthetics characteristics of the products. The cattle bones and the fine of ornamental rocks have phtsio-chemical characteristics, which can be incorporated into other materials as in ceramic production. In this paper, hite ceramic compositions were developed with waste additions of bones and rocks which were analyzed in two steps: the first consisted of a quantitative analysis of technological properties such as water absorption, porosity, density, loss to fire, linear shrinkage and the modulus of rupture in bending; and the econd were an qualitative evaluation of the visual appearance of the material. The percentages of the best performing were used in products, for pressing and bonding the slip process, to a new visual analysis. The results show that the compositions of 30%, 35% e 55% of cattle bones and 30%, 35% e 40% of fine of ornamental rocks showed the best results. Furthermore, the material presented a great visual performance in the application of products – like coatings and utilities - by pressing and onding the slip.
