Abstrakt: The Brazilian wood furniture industry generates a significant amount of fine wood dust waste. In this work, a new lightweight dense/porous bi-layered ceramic tile was developed using fine wood dust waste as a substitute for ceramic tile paste by up to 10 wt% in the porous bottom layer. The bi-layered ceramic tile pieces were prepared by double uniaxial pressing and fired at 1235 °C. The technical properties and sintered microstructure were investigated. The results showed that the fine wood dust waste acted as an effective pore-forming agent. The new bi-layered ceramic tiles showed good technical properties (water absorption=6.16-9.66% and flexural strength=18.10-28.74 MPa). The results also suggested that up to 10 wt% of fine wood dust waste can be valorized in the production of lightweight bi-layered ceramic tiles, which brings together the precepts for sustainable environmental management applications.
