Abstract
Construction and demolition waste produced in the Republic of North Macedonia remains a major economic and environmental problem because all construction and demolition waste ends up in local dumps or is disposed of in a landfill. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the process parameters on the physical and mechanical properties of clay-based ceramics with partial replacement of clay with construction and demolition waste. Determination of the chemical composition of the waste demolition brick using X-ray fluorescence showed that it consisted of different oxides such as SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and CaO and minor contents of alkaline and earth alkaline oxides.Production of these ceramics was conducted through the consolidation of clay and waste demolition brick with the evaluation of the main process parameters such as sintering temperature [ST], the content of waste demolition brick [WDB] and isothermal period at the final temperature [IP]. The final model equations for density and bending strength dependence of the main process parameters were obtained and presented. The microstructure of the ceramics determined by SEM shows that the waste material is homogeneously dispersed in the clay matrix
