In this sense, the present work describes how iron ore tailings (IOT) can be used in the production of cement-based (hydraulic) tiles. The physical, chemical, and mineralogical characterizations carried out demonstrated that the IOT benefciation (segregation) process resulted in a high-quality siliceous aggregate and a Fe-rich clay. The latter can be used as a pigment, whose pigmentation and cementing potentials improve with calcination and grinding. Compared to hydraulic tiles prepared with conventional materials, those obtained with the IOT-based materials displayed a pleasing appearance and the expected physical–mechanical performance.en-USrestritoIron ore tailingsCeramic pigmentsRecycled aggregateHydraulic tilesSustainabilityArtigo publicado em periodicohttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40831-020-00329-9https://doi.org/10.1007/s40831-020-00329-9
