The main objective of this study is

The main objective of this study is to investigate the utilization potential of kraft pulp production residues in clay brick. Kraft
pulp production is the primary phase of the paper industry. Long cellulose fibers are produced from wood, straw and reeds in kraft
pulp production. Short cellulose fibers are separated as an organic waste material from the production system. This type of residue is
only utilized in agricultural purpose or in the production of moulded egg cartons. Kraft pulp production plant of Seka Company
(located at Afyon-C- ay/Turkey), which has50,000 tpy dried pulp production capacity, generatesimportant amount of organic
wastes. Location of the plant is very close to brick manufacturing facilities and this is the main encouraging reason for the
investigation study.
