摘要：The influence of the addition of cigarette butts, as dangerous waste material, to the properties of the brick
clay "Čavka" near Busovača was studied. The cigarette butts were added to the clay in amounts of 5 mass%
and 10 mass%. Testing of the samples included testing of consistency, plasticity, Atterberg plastic and
liquid limits, drying and firing behavior and refractoriness. Also, apparent density, apparent porosity, water
absorption, flexural and compressive strength were investigated on the samples fired at different
temperatures. Thermal conductivity was tested on sample fired at 1173 K. Addition of cigarette butts
improved insulation characteristics and drying sensitivity, while other properties remain within the
required limits for brick industry.
