Chapter 7. Types of waste, properties and durability of waste based fired masonry bricks
Nov 1, 2014 publication descriptionWoodhead publishing in Materials (El Servier)
This chapter classifies the waste according to the European Waste List and the distinctive role of wastes in the ceramic process. Their influence on the technical and properties of the products as well as on the gas emissions during the process are discussed. The immobilization in the ceramic matrix of potential hazardous compounds contained in the waste is also discussed. Considerations on environmental behavour and commercialization are also covered.

Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) constitutes a priority waste stream in the European waste strategy due to its large volume and its high recycling and reuse potential. Directive 2008/98/EC on waste, stresses the need of quantify the waste stream and to improve the material recovery efficiency of C&DW in the European Union. Designing a suitable network of facilities involves an adequate knowledge of the inputs to material recovery facilities. In this work, a two-step methodology for the quantification and waste management analysis of C&DW has been developed and applied to the case study in Cantabria, a northern Spanish region.
