Clay is used as a raw material for the production of lightweight aggregates because it is
readily processed into suitable granules and forms low-density but high strength aggregate …

Light expanded clay aggregates (LECA) have been increasingly used as substrate material
for constructed wetlands given their phosphate removal capacity, mechanical strength …

There is a growing concern on lightweight aggregates (LWA) for recycling of waste
materials: this manufacturing technology is considered a flexible tool to make it possible the …

The contaminated soil (CS) and lithium slag (LS) contain amounts of hazardous ingredients
which may move into the ground water and local cropland. In order to prevent CS and LS …

The pore structure of lightweight aggregates (LWA) has a direct influence on the
performance and application of LWA. In this paper, bauxite tailings were used as the main …

The present work aimed to achieve mineralogical and spectroscopic characterization of the
Late Cretaceous clays of Aleg formation (Coniacian-Lower Campanian system), Tunisia, for …

Expanded clay as a high-quality raw material to produce ceramsite is rapidly consumed in
the past decades. A novel and green process to prepare the ultra-lightweight ceramsite …

The influence of firing temperature on the ceramic properties of illite-chlorite-calcitic clays
has been investigated. Three samples of the same clay deposit have been selected. Weight …

Washing aggregate sludge from a gravel pit, sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) and a clay-rich sediment have been physically, chemically and …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the possibility of sewage sludge
management in a sintered ceramic material such as a lightweight aggregate. Made from clay …
