Enhancement of the thermal performance of perforated clay brick walls through the addition of industrial nano-crystalline aluminium sludge

In an effort to become more sustainable, the construction industry has been looking for ways to use less new raw materials by making use of waste by-products from industrial applications. In this study, nano-crystalline aluminum sludge was added as a filler to clay bricks. The hope was that this would not only be an environmentally friendly product, but that it would also improve the thermal properties of the bricks. The ...
