The generation of waste from civil construction (WCC) in Brazil and in the world are of great proportions. However, its reuse does not occur in the same proportions that are generated by construction, is added to this, the need to find solutions for the landfilling of these wastes, unsustainable consumption of natural resources, where deposits already present signals aggregate shortage. Therefore, the use of red ceramic as recycled aggregate, reduces costs for the production of concrete, brings awareness of environmental cooperation and sustainability. In this scenario, the literature is still scarce in relation to the concrete durability properties for this kind of aggregate. Thus, this study aimed to improve and disseminate knowledge about these waste in construction. To this end, mixtures were made with water / cement ratio of 0.45; 0.55 and 0.65, where the aggregate has been replaced by natural fine ceramic aggregate in 0%, 12.5% and 25%, each percentage was subjected to pre-wetting rate of 40%, 60% and 80%. Subsequently, the durability of concrete produced with fine ceramic aggregate (FCA) was evaluated through capillary absorption, carbonation, electrical resistivity and chloride ion penetration. With the results obtained it can be concluded that the slump test was satisfactory in most mixtures, with respect to durability, in general, all mixtures with ceramic recycled aggregate had higher durability than the reference, especially in mixtures with 25% AMC. Pre-wetting rates were effective in most mixtures, showing satisfactory influence on the final results in all tests. So it managed to show great feasibility of using this waste in concrete, improving their performance.

Bone involvement promoted by aging and accidents has aroused interest in biomaterials and technologies for bone regeneration purposes. Thus, 3D printing technology gained prominence in the production of scaffolds due to its versatility in the production of complex geometries with interconnected pores. In this work, scaffolds composed of poly (lactic acid) (PLA), bioglass (BV) and carbon nanotubes (NTC) were produced by 3D printing, using hexagonal geometry, similar to honeycomb, interleaved. Poly (lactic acid) is a biopolymer already used in biomaterials, while bioglass has proven to be an excellent strategy for use in bone regeneration due to its excellent properties of biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteointegration, however they have low mechanical resistance and carbon nanotubes have shown excellent mechanical reinforcement in composite biomaterials. Thus, the main objective of this study was to produce and characterize a biocomposite of PLA, bioglass and carbon nanotubes by 3D printing and to study its chemical structure, crystallineity and morphology, using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The thermal stability of the composite was evaluated by thermogravimetry, mechanical properties by compression tests and cell viability was determined by the Alamar Blue test. The bioglass was synthesized by sol-gel method presenting bioactive phases of silicate. The scaffolds were produced by 3D printing with hexagonal structures in honeycomb in PLA, PLA/BV and PLA/NTC that were impregnated with bioglass on its surface. The results of the scaffolds demonstratedinterconnected and well-defined pores, ranging from 130 μm to 800 μm. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the interaction of BV in the polymer matrix through new peaks in the spectrum between 1400 and 2600 cm-1 and the presence of the D, G and 2D bands of NTC. In the compression assay, PLA scaffolds with 2 mm diameter showed higher compression stress of 14.88 ± 2.35 MPa, while PLA/NTC higher modulus of apparent compression, 0.58 ± 0.36 GPa. In cell viability, statistical tests showed that there was no significant difference between scaffolds with 2 and 4 mm diameter. The results reveal promising results for the use of 3D printed composites in bone repair sponges. Thus, we suggest the composite of PLA/NTC of 4mm impregnated with BV on the surface as the best bone substitute, however, the application in implants remains limited in relation to osteogenic integration.

The effects of global climate change are occurring at an unprecedented pace. For this reason, human activities urgently require a paradigm shift to halt this entropic process before the consequences become irreversible. In this context, the use of highly eco-efficient materials aims to conveniently neutralize CO₂. This study aims to incorporate Kaolin waste—KDI (clayey) and KAI (sandy)—into the properties and microstructures of clay mass, assessing its mechanical strength after firing at temperatures of 750 and 950 °C. Within this framework, six formulations were tested, varying from 0% to 50% kaolin waste. The specimens were uniaxially pressed into cylindrical shapes and then subjected to firing at 750 °C and 950 °C for 2 hours at peak temperature. The raw materials underwent tests that provided a comprehensive characterization of their properties, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and laser diffraction techniques (LD). After mixing and forming the materials into test specimens with different compositions, they were uniaxially pressed in cylindrical molds and subjected to compression testing. The results demonstrated the feasibility of using these wastes, showing favorable outcomes for their incorporation into red ceramics for the production of ceramic products in compliance with current standards.
