Medium-Fraction Materials for Processing of Coal-Thread Waste Drains for the Production of Wall Ceramics
The general characteristic of products of processing of waste heaps is given. Their characteristics by fractional composition are proposed: large-fractional, with grains from 2 to 150 mm in size, medium-fractional with a grain size of 0.5 to 2 mm, and fine-grained with a grain size of 0 to 0.5 mm. The results of work on the study of the chemical-mineralogical composition and physico-mechanical properties of the medium-fractionation products of the waste heaps processing with reference to the production of various wall ceramics products are presented. Their role is shown as a polyfunctional additive when introduced into ceramic masses and affects the properties of finished products. A preliminary classification according to the amount of coal component, mineralogical and petrographic composition, technological properties is proposed. The feasibility of their application in the production of wall ceramics with a reduced cost is given.
