Production and characterization of a novel artificial stone using brick residue and quarry dust in epoxy matrix

Nowadays there is an increasing tendency to reuse industrial residues in order to reduce their environmental impact. A typical alternative for a residue is to be incorporate into a productive process that could be economically viable. In this work, 80 wt% of residues, quarry dust and chamotte from b...
