Abstract

This study was carried out to exploit kaolin and sawdust from local environs for the production of insulating refractory bricks, used in the construction of ceramic kilns, glass furnaces and gas-fired or electric ovens. Results of the study show that kaolin and saw dust mix in the ratio of 1:1 by volume is found suitable for producing good-quality insulating refractory bricks.
