Mineração e construção civil, uma avaliação econômica de tijolo cerâmico produzido em Juruti - PA

Abstract

Ceramic bricks are commonly used in civil construction and have great importance in the national economy. The interest of small and medium producers arises because of this factor since this system does not require major changes, nor high investments for its implementation, favoring good profitability and rate of return. This paper aims to economically evaluate the production of ceramic bricks from potteries in Juruti town, Pará, doing a survey of production costs for a five-year scenario. The results showed that the production of ceramic bricks is economically viable, but the gross revenue is low considering the lifetime of the projects. On the basis of the results obtained, it was possible to help improve production processes, with suggestions and ideas for better working conditions and technological adaptation, thus we emphasize the importance of mining, this economic activity is initiated by the mining of clay.
