| abstract |
The present invention relates to the production of ceramic materials by utilising (25-100%) bottom ash obtained from the incineration of solid waste (SW), preferably municipal solid waste (MSW), having application in the construction industry and/or as utility ceramics. While in the manufacture of conventional ceramics for the same applications, clay, quartz and feldspar minerals are the generally used base raw materials, with specific processing functions, in this case, an innovation is that the raw materials can be bottom ash from SW incineration, preferably fully consisting of MSW bottom ash, without the necessity of using any other additive. |
