Technological Aspect of Brick Production Using the Method of Autoclaving
Technological Aspect of Brick Production Using the Method of Autoclaving is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Structure and Environment''. The main subjects of the publication include pulp and paper industry, economic production, process engineering, materials science, and brick. Production of sand-lime bricks using the autoclaving method is a well-known process, especially in Europe.During the autoclaving process, also called the hydrothermal treatment or hardening the materials with lime and/or cement binder, a series of microstructural changes occur.Primarily, hydrated silicates of lime are created, which are responsible for physical-mechanical features of aerated materials.The article aims at characterizing the process of brick production using the method of autoclaving and estimation of their microstructural properties.
