Description
Wastes in coal quarries and coal power plants are significant issues. Coal washing plant tailings as waste coal powder is one of these issues. Today, their ecological and economical utilization, control and management are of main subjects for ongoing researches throughout the world. On the other hand, researchers still carry out intense investigations on the production of lightweight and sustainable products for construction industry. In Turkey, approximately 20 coal mines and 1 coal power plant do have coal washing plant. In this study, waste coal powder obtained from Soma, Manisa were replaced with clay obtained from Niğde Kolsuz Region in amount of 10%, 20% and 30% by weight and fired at 1000 ° C to produce bricks. Unit weight, compressive strength, flexural tensile strength and water absorption tests were carried out on the samples. Experimental results showed that the addition of coal powder at the replacement ratio of 10% increased the compressive strength and flexural tensile strength of the samples. Use of produced samples in the construction industry will provide produce of high strength bricks of developed features besides contributing to the utilization of coal powder by recycling.
