We investigated the possible use of recycled paper pulp (old newspapers) and aluminized packaging (Iong life milk) as additives to red clay in the prodution of solid ceramic bricks. Besides the technological aspect, there is an environmental interest to find alternative uses of discarded material which is part of the usual community waste.
The paper's pulp was obtained by simple defibriment of old newspapers in water, while the aluminized packaging, having a plastic layer and a layer of stable aluminum, underwent first a size reduction and then a grinding in a micro-grinder.
The clay for semiwet process (with 5% to 10% of humidity) was supplied by the brickworks near the UFSM campus. The process of mass mixture was totally manual with different proportions of clay/pulp of paper and clay/grounded aluminized packing used.
The ceramic test specimens were also manually molded (metalic mold with dimensions of 30 X 40 X 60 mm), resulting a very homogeneous compact mass. Then they were submitted to pre-drying, drying and burning processes, according the NBR 7170 and NBR 8041 specifications.
The samples demonstrated good porousity, homogenity and conformation. They were then submitted to density and compression resistance tests.
The results obtained allow us to conclude that the addition to clay of recycled paper pulp and ground aluminized packaging, in small proportions, doesn't result in any reduction of mechanical resistance in the ceramic specimens and it can be advantageous with respect to thermal and acoustic isolation.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
