Abstract n the present work,some brick bLends from cheap LocaL raw materiaL were prepared and examined.various minor in organic and/or organic additives as weLL as factors affecting the produced quaLities were investigated.some non-heat bricks and Low curing temperature poLymers gave acceptabLe resuLtes. some cement admixtures,e.g.LighnsuLphonates,acryLates,hydroxy carboxyLic acidderivatives,caLcium chLoride and sodium siLicate, proved to be usefuL,with asmaLL percent of cement,to give acceptabLe resuLtes of compression strenght and buLk density.variation of bLending and modifying conditions yieLded avariety of bricks appLicabLe for different purposes,e.g.insuLation or buiLding. By proper seLection of raw materiaL and admixture,the brick cost reduction can be achieved. |
