Abstract
Effect of ferrochromium slag, zeolite and combinations on physical, mechanical, thermal conductivity and microstructure properties of bricks was investigated. They were substituted to brick raw material. Semi-dry mixtures were compressed with 20 MPa. Samples were fired at rate of 5 °C/min until 900 °C for 2 h. Characterization of fired bricks, density, porosity, water absorption, weight loss, compressive and bending strength, thermal conductivity properties and microstructural and phase analysis of bricks were determined. Mechanical strengths of bricks were higher than 7 MPa. Thermal conductivity of samples decreases 42.3%. Results showed that bricks with zeolite and slag could be used as construction material.
