Attempting to reduce the energy consumption of various manufacturing processes is one of the alternative ways to conserve energy. Furthermore, an expanding industry has resulted in a large amount of solid wastes generation. Exploiting wastes as alternative materials for saving energy to produce valuable products is a great challenge. Therefore, this study aims to utilize waste materials, e.g., rice husk ash, brown glass cullet, and sediment soil for producing non-fired tiles. Twenty-four formulas were conducted and divided into three groups (A, B, and C). Each formula mixture was uniaxially pressed at 10 MPa and cured for 7 and 28 days. This research work examined the use of brown glass cullet as a replacement for river sand in group A. The best formula of group A with the highest modulus of rupture had been selected for further research in group B. After that, formulas of group B were replaced laterite soil with sediment soil and local clay, which the best formula of group B was also taken by adding 5% and 10% of rice husk ash in group C. The result showed that the best formula was B1 containing 15% replacement of river sand with brown glass cullet and 5% replacement of laterite soil with local clay at 28 days of curing. Formula B1 has the modulus of rupture of 15.95 MPa and water absorption of 12.87% that can meet the Thai Industrial Standard 2508–2555 type BIII of wall tiles. Its energy consumption cost in the non-firing process could reduce 5.04 USD/m² when compared with that of the fired tile at 950 º С. Besides, an extensive experimental program was carried out including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and colorimetric CIELAB method. It can be summarized that developing non-fired tiles by utilizing waste materials is feasible to reduce energy consumption and waste disposal costs.

Abstract

Attempting to reduce the energy consumption of various manufacturing processes is one of the alternative ways to conserve energy. Furthermore, an expanding industry has resulted in a large amount of solid wastes generation. Exploiting wastes as alternative materials for saving energy to produce valuable products is a great challenge. Therefore, this study aims to utilize waste materials, e.g., rice husk ash, brown glass cullet, and sediment soil for producing non-fired tiles. Twenty-four formulas were conducted and divided into three groups (A, B, and C). Each formula mixture was uniaxially pressed at 10 MPa and cured for 7 and 28 days. This research work examined the use of brown glass cullet as a replacement for river sand in group A. The best formula of group A with the highest modulus of rupture had been selected for further research in group B. After that, formulas of group B were replaced laterite soil with sediment soil and local clay, which the best formula of group B was also taken by adding 5% and 10% of rice husk ash in group C. The result showed that the best formula was B1 containing 15% replacement of river sand with brown glass cullet and 5% replacement of laterite soil with local clay at 28 days of curing. Formula B1 has the modulus of rupture of 15.95 MPa and water absorption of 12.87% that can meet the Thai Industrial Standard 2508–2555 type BIII of wall tiles. Its energy consumption cost in the non-firing process could reduce 5.04 USD/m² when compared with that of the fired tile at 950 º С. Besides, an extensive experimental program was carried out including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and colorimetric CIELAB method. It can be summarized that developing non-fired tiles by utilizing waste materials is feasible to reduce energy consumption and waste disposal costs.
