Incorporação de borra oleosa na produção de materiais de construção - adoquim cerâmico

Abstract

Petroleum and its derivatives are quite harmful to the environment, and oily residues are considered difficult to be disposed of, causing environmental and economic damage, so the importance of recycling these in order to mitigate the impacts caused by them arises. At the end of 2019, there was an oil spill into the sea that contaminated the ecosystems of the Brazilian coast, this fact fostered the idea of providing the oily sludge found on the beaches of the State of Alagoas, an adequate and efficient destination through the incorporation of this residue in the production of building materials. The present work aims to study the possibility of incorporating petroleum sludge in the production of artifacts in the ceramic industry - clay pavers, as well as establishing standards: dosage of raw materials for the ceramic mass; test specimens; and characterization of the final product. This work was developed through bibliographical research, using as scientific data sources the Web of Science, Scielo, Academic Google, from December 2019 to June 2021. The analysis of the information was carried out through exploratory reading of the material found, in a qualitative and inductive approach. It was possible to verify that due to the nature of the clay minerals present in clays, it is possible to incorporate the oily sludge into the ceramic mass and in the production of ceramic artifacts. From the analyzed data and specifications of Brazilian and international technical standards, it was possible to establish the standards described in the objective. The incorporation of the oily sludge into the ceramic mass was considered a viable and effective final disposal of the oily residue.
