The purpose of the study was to study the main properties of coal dumps processing products, their impact on the quality of finished products and the development of a technology for the production of highly efficient ceramic stones based on them. Structural features and chemical-mineralogical composition of coal dumps processing products have been studied, their pre-fired and firing ceramic properties have been studied. Based on this, the compositions of the raw masses were selected with testing of laboratory samples. The influence of the relationship of various technological factors on the properties of finished products is determined and established. The material composition and technological properties of fine, fine and medium fraction materials are shown. A preliminary classification of the products of processing coal dumps by grain composition, content of the coal component, mineralogical and petrographic composition has been carried out. The recommended compositions of raw mixes and the technological scheme for the production of large-sized ceramic blocks with an average density of less than 800 kg/m3 are presented. The dependences of the degree of grinding of the products of processing of coal dumps and the firing temperature on the strength of the samples have been established. The introduction of finely dispersed waste heap processing products reduces the density and strength of the samples. The molding of products using the technology of semi-rigid extrusion is proposed. The use of coal dumps processing products in the production of wall ceramics will contribute to their disposal, which will improve the environmental situation in the region. The work was carried out in Russia, at the Don State Technical University in Rostov-on-Don. When developing a technology for the production of ceramic blocks based on by-products of waste heaps processing in the Eastern Donbass, minimal production costs and high profitability of production are envisaged.
