ABSTRACT:
A brick additive and methods for using the brick additive are disclosed. The additive may include an internal porosity. The internal porosity may display an intra-granular internal porosity in which at least some of the pores are interconnected via an open network of pore spaces. In some embodiments, the additive is capable of maintaining its internal porosity after undergoing thermal modification via calcination, for example. In addition, brick additives of the present invention may display a large surface area.
