Recyclination of Waste Sanitary Ware Product for Production of Ceramic Socket

The study explores the use of recycled sanitary ware waste products as raw materials in the production of ceramic sockets. The waste is typically discarded in construction and renovation environments, offering a sustainable approach to solving melting issues on wall sockets. The research involves collecting raw materials like kaolin, ball clay, and feldspar from discarded ceramic toilets, sinks, and bathtubs, and processing them into suitable ceramic powders. The aim of the research involves using the processed ceramic materials to solve the melting issue on wall sockets. It also employs an experimental methods in which various techniques, including powder form processing, mixing, pressing, drying, and firing, to produce ceramic sockets using recycled sanitary ware waste products. Sanitary ware waste product was varied with kaolin by 5% increase interval. The results shown from the tests carried out that incorporating recycled sanitary ware waste improves the physical, mechanical, and dielectric strength properties of ceramic sockets The results provide insights into the feasibility and potential of using recycled sanitary ware waste products in ceramic socket production. The study shows that the more sanitary ware waste is added, the more it increases its strength, it also indicated that the reuse of sanitary ware waste having more dielectric strength than kaolin and potential as a good electrical insulator. The study also reveals that the reuse of sanitary ware waste products can be varied with kaolin or used without kaolin.
