Ceramic permeable bricks are a type of outdoor paving material that rivals the texture of natural stone while offering the added benefit of water permeability. These bricks are primarily made from recycled ceramic materials, supplemented with other mineral additives, and formed under high pressure through a special manufacturing process. Following this, they are subjected to a prolonged period of high-temperature firing. This innovative production method not only leverages waste materials for environmental sustainability but also results in a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface that facilitates groundwater recharge by allowing rainwater to filter through.
What are Ceramic Permeable Bricks?
Ceramic permeable bricks, also known as ceramic pervious bricks or porous ceramic bricks, are a type of eco-friendly building material designed to allow water to pass through their surface to the ground beneath. These bricks are made from a mixture of natural materials such as clay, shale, and other recyclable materials that are fired at high temperatures to create a hard and durable surface with porous properties. The main characteristic of ceramic pervious brick is their ability to facilitate the natural absorption of rainwater and reduce runoff, thus helping to replenish groundwater supplies and mitigate flooding in urban areas. They are commonly used in sidewalks, plazas, driveways, and other outdoor areas where water drainage and environmental sustainability are concerns. Ceramic permeable bricks not only contribute to urban drainage and flood control but also promote the ecological balance by allowing water to filter through the ground, which helps to cool urban areas and reduce the heat island effect.
Eco-Friendly Ceramic Permeable Bricks vs. Conventional Plaza Bricks
Eco-Friendly Ceramic Permeable Bricks offer significant environmental advantages. They lower the surrounding temperature and restore the natural water storage capacity to prevent groundwater depletion. These bricks enhance the survival conditions for vegetation, regulate atmospheric humidity, purify the air, and revitalize the ground's water cycle system.
In contrast, Conventional Plaza Bricks contribute to the considerable loss of surface water, leading to waterlogging and urban flooding. They maintain high surface temperatures for extended periods, block the natural absorption of water by the earth, and contribute to the urban heat island effect, making cities significantly warmer.
“…Sponge Cities: Enhancing Urban Resilience Through Permeable Pavement…”
Sponge cities utilize urban green spaces, roads, and water systems to absorb, store, and slowly release rainwater, effectively alleviating urban waterlogging, reducing runoff pollution, conserving water resources, and protecting and improving the urban ecological environment. The Chinese standard GB/T 50378 "Green Building Evaluation Standard" stipulates that achieving a permeable pavement area ratio of 50% in hard-paved surfaces earns three points, highlighting the increasing governmental support for policies promoting permeable bricks usage. With the national push towards sponge city construction, the importance of building sponge cities is gaining recognition. A key feature of sponge cities is the creation of a "sponge" through road permeable paving, where ceramic pervious bricks stand out for their functionality, performance, raw materials, and socio-economic benefits, making them unparalleled and irreplaceable compared to other paving materials.

Crafting Sustainability: The Production Process of Ceramic Permeable Pavers
The production process of ceramic porous bricks involves several key stages, meticulously designed to create bricks that are both durable and capable of allowing water to pass through them. Here's an overview of the process in English:
1. Material Selection and Preparation:
The process begins with the selection of raw materials, typically including various types of clay, recycled ceramics, and sometimes industrial waste products. These materials are crushed into a fine powder and thoroughly mixed to ensure uniformity.
2. Forming:
The mixed material is then moistened and formed into the desired shape of the bricks. This can be achieved through extrusion or pressing, where the material is either forced through a mold or pressed into molds to form the bricks.
3. Drying:
After shaping, the bricks are left to dry. This can be done either naturally, by leaving the bricks out to air dry, or more commonly, in a controlled drying chamber where humidity and temperature are carefully regulated to ensure uniform drying without cracking.
4. Creating Porosity:
To make the bricks permeable, porosity is introduced. This can be achieved by adding materials that will burn off during firing (like sawdust or rice husks), leaving behind tiny pores, or through the creation of air pockets within the brick during the forming process.
5. Firing:
Once dry, the bricks are fired in a kiln at high temperatures, typically between 1000°C and 1200°C. The firing process vitrifies the clay, making the brick strong and durable. The materials added to create porosity burn away, leaving the brick with its characteristic permeable structure.
6. Quality Control:
After cooling, each brick is inspected for quality. Parameters such as size, shape, strength, and permeability are checked to ensure they meet the required standards.
7. Packaging and Shipping:
Finally, the finished bricks are packaged and prepared for shipping to construction sites, ready for use in a variety of applications from driveways and pathways to larger urban and green space projects.
This process highlights the blend of traditional ceramic production techniques with innovative methods to create a product that is both eco-friendly and functional, offering a sustainable solution for modern construction challenges.
