Abstract
The cutting and processing of rocks in the ornamental rock industry have a significant environmental impact, resulting in the generation of non-reusable solid waste that is either directly discarded in nature or sent to landfills. This study aims to assess the utilization of these residues in ceramic formulations for brick production. Two types of waste from different rocks with distinct chemical and physical characteristics were utilized. Physical and chemical characterization tests were conducted on clays and residues employed in ceramic manufacturing. Ceramic specimens were produced with varying levels of waste incorporation, and tests including water absorption, linear variation and flexural strength were performed. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of both residues, either individually or combined, enhanced the mechanical properties of ceramics, with the most notable improvements observed when the residues were incorporated together.
