Abstract: A ceramic for construction or technical applications, composed of at least one of Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash (MSWIBA) and other recycled industrial solid waste and different methods of forming such ceramics. Various techniques illustrate how ceramics are formed using at least one of extrusion shaping, dry powder compaction and agglomeration, any of which can be preceded by a pre-treatment process of received feedstock.

Abstract: A shaped thermal energy storage ceramic and its method of preparation including milling refractory waste exhibiting a diameter of 1 mm or less to form powder, sieving the powder to retain the powder having a particle size below 250 um, combining with a binder as clay or polymer, and water to form at least one of an extrudable paste and a granulated mixture, forming a green body from at least one of an extrudable paste and a granulated mixture, drying the green body, firing the green body to form the ceramic product at a temperature in the range of 1000 deg C. to 1400 deg C. for a time period in the range of 0.5 hours to 12 hours, and cooling the ceramic product.

Abstract: A ceramic product and a method of producing the ceramic product produced by pretreating the feedstock from at least of iron/steel recovery, recovery of at least one non-ferrous material, sieving, crushing, milling, aging, and thermal treatment, receiving as a first powder a first recovered material from the pretreating, receiving as a second powder a second recovered material from the pretreating, combining the first and second powders with water to form at least one of an extrudable paste and a granulated mixture, forming a green body from the at least one of the extrudable paste after extrusion and the granulated mixture; drying the green body, firing the green body to form the ceramic product, and cooling the ceramic product.
