Notes:
In the municipal area of Campos dos Goytacazes–RJ several ceramic industries areinvolved with a significant production of bricks and tiles. These ceramic products can serve asmatrices for the incorporation of industrial residues such as the ash of sugarcane bagasse used asfuel in the boilers of the sugar and alcohol plants. The incorporation of ashes in ceramics is asolution that eventually can cause an improvement on the properties of the material. The objectiveof this work is to characterize granulometric fractions of sugarcane bagasse ash with particle sizesless than 149, 75 and 44 μm aiming at the ash incorporation into red ceramics. Chemical,mineralogical and microstructural characterization were carried out in the granulometric fractions.The results showed that the granulometric fractions present as main crystalline phase the cristobaliteand that the ashes with smaller particle sizes can improve the densification of the ceramic body bythe formation of more liquid phase during firing, due to the presence of less silica and morealkaline- and alkaline-earth oxides than the original ash
