For this purpose, the raw materials were first characterized by different techniques. The ceramic pieces were obtained by means of uniaxial pressure at 25 MPa of commercial clay-biomass waste mixtures, the latter added in 10% by volume. After a drying period, they were thermally treated at 1000°C following firing curves similar to those used by the ceramic industry. The products obtained were characterized by various techniques: porosity, permanent volumetric variation, weight loss on ignition, mechanical properties, among others. The ceramic products obtained present homogeneous tonality, well-defined edges and angles, without shelling of the structure. The results of the porosity test show that the waste aggregates increase this property in the ceramic materials studied.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternacionalBiomass wastePorous ceramicsSunflower shellsRice husksinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectQuaranta, Nancy Esther ; Pelozo, Gisela Guadalupe ; Romano, Melisa Soledad ; Caligaris, Marta Graciela ; Cristóbal, Adrián AlbertoNo comercial con fines académicos.
