In the context of sustainable local development of the Adrar region, one of the largest regions in the Algerian Sahara. The search for local useful substances has been initiated by the Algerian state to cover the need for building materials in the construction industry. However, from a geological point of view, the Adrar zone is located in the extension of the primary chain of the Ougarta which separates two sedimentary basins of Reggane and Timimoun, as well as the basin of Sbâa. In this context, an experimental study is focused on the characterization of clay deposits, with a view to their valorization in the construction materials industry (ceramics) sector, with the aim of contributing to the use of local materials.
Résumé
Dans le cadre du développement local durable de la région d’Adrar, l’une des plus vastes régions dans le Sahara algérien, la recherche de substances utiles locales a été entamée par l’état algérien, cela pour répondre au besoin en matériaux de construction dans le BTP. Cependant du point de vue géologique, la zone d’Adrar est située dans le prolongement de la chaine primaire de l’Ougarta qui sépare deux bassins sédimentaires : celui de Réggane et celui de Timimoun, ainsi que la cuvette de Sbâa. Dans ce contexte, une étude expérimentale est focalisée sur la caractérisation des gisements argileux, en vue de leur valorisation dans le secteur de l’industrie des matériaux de construction (céramique), ayant pour objet de contribuer à l’utilisation des matériaux locaux.
