| Ringkasan: | Brick manufactured from mosaic sludge waste and clay is investigated considering the huge volume that has been
produced and the effect towards the environment. In this study, the research attempt to reuse two types of mosaic sludge
from polishing (PS) and body mill (BS) process conducted in mosaic industries to be incorporated into fired clay brick.
The mosaic sludge is used to replace the raw material which is clay up to 10%. In this investigation, the composition and
concentration of heavy metals were determined by using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF). Physical and
mechanical properties test were conducted (compressive strength, shrinkage, density and initial rate of suction). The results
show that PS brick (5%) and BS brick (5%) obtained the highest compressive strength, low density and less total shrinkage
compared to other percentages. Nevertheless, all properties for all bricks incorporated with different percentages of mosaic
sludge were complied with the British Standard 3291:1985. Both mosaic sludge (PS and BS) could be an alternative low
cost material for brick and at the same time provide an environmental friendly disposal method for the waste. |
