This book presents original results on the use of cassava wastewater as a substitute for potable water in ceramic formulations. It evaluates the physical and mechanical properties as well as the microstructure of the materials produced, comparing the products obtained from the incorporating effluent with the conventional materials used in the construction industry.

Presents original and new results on the use of cassava wastewater in ceramic formulations Showcases technical solutions for the use of cassava water reject that is produced in high content in Brazil Is of interest to countries as India, Africa, and China which are large consumers of cassava Gives solutions to an ambient problem
