Sodium silicate activated clay brick
Abstract The paper discusses the addition of sodium hydroxide to readily available natural materials in Senegal, in order to produce stronger and more durable bricks. The case study involves the Tchieky clays which were mixed with varying amounts of NaOH and heated at temperatures of 40, 80 and 120°C for periods of up to 60 days. The caustic solution could be sodium hydroxide mixed with sodium silicate and water/seawater. In general the maximum strength was reached after 28 days for samples mixed with 8 M NaOH at 40°C. The bricks produced were shown to be durable and relatively inexpensive. The process does not generate pollutants and can use by-products, assisting with environmental problems.
