Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back PROMISING DIRECTION FOR THE «GREEN» ECONOMY – THE USE OF SLAG FROM THE PRODUCTION OF FERROSILICON AND THE CLAY OF THE «TAILS» OF GRAVITY IN THE PRODUCTION OF CERAMIC MATERIALS V.Z. Abdrakhimov, A.K. Kayrakbaev, E.S. Abdrakhimova As an add as an additive to reduce the drying of the bricks were used slag from the production of ferrosilite, which is formed during the production of ferrosilicon at the Aktobe Ferroalloy plant. Slag from the production of ferrosilicon is a waste of ferrous metallurgy. As a binder, to obtain a ceramic material, used clay part of the «tails» of gravity zircon-ilmenite ores, which is a waste of non-ferrous metallurgy. The production of ceramic materials from waste products without the use of traditional natural materials contributes to the development of “green” economy. Given that currently traditional natural raw material resources in Russia and other CIS countries are exhausted, involving waste products in an industrial revolution will make high-quality ceramic materials. It frees large plots of land from the negative impacts of anthropogenic factors that contribute to the rational use of ingredients of industrial waste dumps in the construction industry. The use of waste products in the production of ceramic materials promotes recycling, environmental protection and reducing environmental impact in the regions. Keywords: slag from the production of ferrosilicon; clay part of the «Hvostov gravity»; «green» economy; ceramic materials; fi ring; physical and mechanical properties.
