Abstract
 

The effect of using the local electrostatic precipitator cement kiln dust waste (EPCKD) collected from Tourah Portland cement factory on the production of ceramic floor tiles was studied. The EPCKD as received from the factory was used to replace gradually a part of the total batch composition of a traditional floor tile composition (clay, feldspar, limestone, quartz). The results showed that the EPCKD can be used with an amount of 5 up to 25 wt.% from the total batch. By using lower amounts, it needs higher firing temperature of 1180°C to reach the actual ceramic parameters (bulk density of 2.126 glcm3, porosity of 2.211% and water absorption of 1.041%). On the other side, with higher amounts of EPCKD waste, the prepared tiles reach the optimum ceramic characteristic parameters at lower firing temperature of 1150°C (bulk density of 2.23 glcm3, porosity of 0.33% and water absorption of 0.15%). So, the use of EPCKD waste in the production of wall or floor tiles has an additional advantage of lower fuel and energy consumption. The appropriate firing conditions of ceramic batches were also estimated and the variation of the ceramic properties was indentified.
