摘要:The aim of this study is to manufacture model building green bricks with different cheap solid additives[industrial and agricultural], petro-coke, animal dung, and saw-dust as an internal fuel. Model samples weremanufactured, dried smoothly, and then fired through a suitable predetermined firing technique at range of temperature,750, 800, 850, 900 and 1000oC. The experimental measurement was performed on these samples at Brick and RoadResearch Institute (BRRI) University of Khartoum, Sudan in order to evaluate internal and external fuel consumptionin red brick production and mitigation measures of environmental contamination.The main bricks properties used for assessment are loss-on-ignition, density and crushing strength that related to thelowest specific fuel consumption and cost. Numerous measurements on samples have compared relative to internal andexternal energy and fuel consumption. The petro-coke sample was found to be the best, with the lowest fuelconsumption, higher crushing strength and very good density of clay bricks as well as with the minimum firing cost.The results reveal the firing temperature is significantly affected densities properties of the clay bricks additive materialabove 900oC, while the crushing strengths and loss-on-ignition are increasing steadily to 1000oC.
