Recycling mineral wool spinning waste represents a rather serious problem. The results of the present research show that the suggested sintering ceramics out of low melting illite clay and mineral wool spinning waste is a promising way for solving the problem of mineral wool waste utilization.
The conducted research into the properties of this compound has shown that by introducing 20% of waste into low melting clay allows producing ceramic materials possessing the following parameters: value of absorption is equal to 2,2%, density – 2169 kg/m³.
The data of dilatometric investigation have demonstrated that adding 20 % of MVCF component leads to reducing length from 2,8% to 1,4% at the temperature of 1070 ºC.
