Avaliação das características construtivas da argila do jazigo de chichocane para o uso na produção de materiais de construção-Cerâmica

Abstract

The quality of ceramic building materials is directly linked to the technical characteristics or technical conditions of the clay applied in the production process. Therefore, the present work has as its main objective, through analysis and verifications, to evaluate the physical characteristics of the clay from the Chichocane deposit for its application in the production of blocks (bricks) and ceramic tiles. Therefore, in order to the same was done the collection of samples that were analyzed based on the norms of the the norms of the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards: NBR 6457 -1986 for preparation of samples for characterization tests, NBR 7181 -1984 for granulometric NBR 6459 -1984 for determination of the liquidity limit and NBR 7180 - 1984 for determination of the plasticity limit. 1984 for determination of the clay plasticity limit, where it was verified that the Chichocane clay of Chichocane is inorganic, silty and composed of fine-grained particles around 29%, with 29%, with clear and bright colors and low plasticity. And, using the statistical statistical packages: SPSS and Excel, and parameters of the Unified Soil Classification System the results were tested and it was concluded that the Chichocane clay has physical physical characteristics suitable for use in the production of building materials, however, it cannot be used on its own, and some of the silt has to be corrected by clay and mixed with another clay with high plasticity to obtain a mixture with a higher clay and clay content. clay and plasticity ideal for a forming process or molding of the ceramic pieces. molding process of the ceramic pieces.
