The original specifications covering carbonaceous fractions extracted from washery wastes and supplied to brickworks under the building materials and the agriculture ministries (TU-14-6-79-72) expired in 1975. It was therefore necessary to draw up revised specifications reflecting the progress made in producing various grades of bricks with washery wastes as heat-generating and consumable additives. Between 1971 and 1975, the tonnages of washery wastes dispatched by the producers (the Zaporozhe, Yasinovka, and Donetsk coking plants) have steadily increased. The savings to be made by using washery wastes can be illustrated by experimental data. By using the carbonaceous fractions, they have increased the yield of the higher-priced brick grades (by 13.6 and 4.4 percent, respectively), increased the brick output per unit of kiln capacity (by 24 and 9 percent, respectively) and substantially reduced the fuel consumption. The ''Stroikeramika'' Works estimate the annual saving at about 24,000 roubles. According to the brick producers, this application of washery wastes is advantageous to all parties.
