Abstract
A concrete mix for use in forming molded concrete end products is disclosed. The concrete mix includes treated porcelain kernels, cement and sand. The treated porcelain kernels are formed from recycled and currently unusable porcelain products. The porcelain products are crushed and processed to create porcelain kernels having a desired size. The porcelain kernels having the desired size are mixed with cement and sand and the concrete mix is packaged for subsequent use. The concrete mix including the porcelain kernels formed from recycled porcelain products allows the porcelain end products to be recycled while providing concrete products that have lighter weight and greater flame resistance.
