Abstract
The properties of ceramic materials are intimately related to a variety of factors, among them shaping procedure and sintering time. These factors condition the microstructure and properties of the materials developed. Our study has formed materials from clays commonly used in the area of Bailén (Jaén) and sludge proceeding from thewastewater treatment plant. We shaped the materials through pressing and extrusion, the techniques most widely used in the ceramics industry in this region. Our goal is to determine which technique is the most appropriate by studying properties of interest, highlighting the thermal conductivity, such as compressive strength, water absorption, water suction, absolute and apparent density, among others.
