Sustainable experimental study of ceramic residues and waste fabrics

Abstract

Objective: To explore feasible solutions to realize the recycling of waste materials for sustainable application in response to the existing problem of idle accumulation of large quantities of waste textile fabrics and ceramic residues. Methods: Through the experimental method, waste porcelain powder was substituted for some of the ridged raw materials in the traditional ceramic formula to make a slurry, and then mixed with waste fabrics to be fired into a new ceramic material. Then its characteristics were recorded, summarized, explored, and analyzed to explore the unique value of the material. Results: The experiments found that the mixing of the waste materials produced a good chemical reaction. The waste ceramic powder can enhance the flexural strength of the new material, reduce the deformation rate, and make the new material’s performance more stable. Waste fabrics can make the new materials enjoy the advantages of easy production, good light transmittance, and lightweight. Conclusion: This research lays a technical foundation for future entry into the design market. This contributes to the recycling of waste fabrics and ceramic residues in a sustainable way.
