The use of drilling waste in the production of ceramic building materials

The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the need to solve environmental problems that arise when drilling oil and gas wells. The study is aimed at the disposal, neutralization and reuse of drilling waste, which will create a reserve of competitive raw materials for the production of bricks. The possibility of recycling a man-made product obtained in the process of drilling oil wells at the facilities of the Morozovskoye deposit (Krasnodar Territory) in the production of ceramic products, namely building bricks, is considered. A physical and chemical study of the drilling waste of the considered deposit was carried out, with the aim of its subsequent use in the raw mix for the production of building bricks. A comparative characteristic of the raw material composition, phase and mineralogical composition, as well as the plasticity number of drilling waste and clay from the Gubskoye deposit (Krasnodar Territory) is presented. On the basis of the data obtained, appropriate conclusions were made about the possibility of using drilling waste as a raw material component.
