The Msc thesis, presents a viability study of incorporation the mud generated in the clarification step treatment plants (WTP), for the production of red ceramic. This residue that currently is disposed indiscriminately in the rivers, contributes to degradation of the quality of waters. In view of that, the search of a viable solution for the appropriate destination of this residue should bring environmental benefits with low operational costs, being this the main objective of this study. The relevance of the subject is in the implantation of a management system that provides the appropriate destination of the residue in subject and your viability as raw-material for industrial production. In order to pursue that, physical-chemical and mechanical characterization of the clay used for the manufacturing of red ceramic, as well as of the WTP mud and 40%, 50% and 60% mixtures of the mud into the clay - which resulted in ceramic test samples, were carried out. The results obtained indicated the possibility of incorporating of the residue into the clay, provided specific conditions for red ceramic production are implemented.
