Performance of sewage sludge reuse in the manufacturing of fired bricks by K. Moulato, M. Ammari, L. Ben Allal

“…Above 20 percent of samples substitution, their strength becomes less reliable, due to the large amount of organic matter that burns during firing which creates pores in the finished product.CONCLUSION: These results suggest that thermal processes limit the leaching of metals and are practically inaccessible to the ecosystem, so the brick cannot harm the environment. …”
