Abstract

Secondary lead slag is a waste product obtained from the smelting of used lead battery,
and it becomes a major air, soil, and water pollutant when not properly stabilized. Thus, this study
assesses the technical feasibility of aggregating this waste to produce ceramic bricks and to test
the immobilization of several heavy metals contained in the slag used for prepared products. The
results revealed the feasibility of substituting 15% of the clay with slag, thereby reporting an improvement in the compressive strength of bricks in which this waste was aggregated, unlike regular bricks.
Additionally, the study determined the immobilization of lead, arsenic, and selenium in these fnal
products
