Since the natural raw materials used in the manufacture of clay-based ceramic products vary greatly in the sintering stage, the resulting products are quite heterogeneous. In addition, different types of waste could be used to make ceramic tiles and bricks. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of pumice, bauxite, and ferrochrome slag on the vitrified ceramic body. In this context, firstly, binary slip mixtures were prepared by composing 40% clay with 60% pumice, bauxite, and ferrochrome slag one by one, which was reduced to 150 μm in particle size. Then, the mixtures were shaped by slip casting method and sintered at 1000°C, 1100°C, 1200°C, and 1250°C. The qualitative XRD analysis was performed in order to see the phase variation, and physical properties were determined with shrinkage and water adsorption measurements. Since pumice transformed into a glassy phase after sintering at 1100°C, an amorphous phase was observed in all samples produced with pumice. In addition, the mullite development occurred in clay-pumice body composition with the temperature increment. However, tridymite and cristobalite phases were analysed in clay bauxite and ferrochrome body compositions. The shrinkage and water adsorption values, which were high in the samples sintered at 1000°C, began to reduce from 1100°C to 1250°C significantly. In particular, water adsorption reached 0% in the clay-pumice system which was suitable for a fully vitrified-high density standard (ISO13006-10545/98). Besides, the brighter colour was reached in the clay-pumice system while brown and black colour was seen in clay-bauxite and clay-ferrochrome bodies, respectively.
