This study aimed to identify the composition of ceramic mass for the manufacture of bricks with improved properties based on local loam using diatomite and bentonite clay. For the experiments, loam from the Almaty deposit (Kazakhstan) was applied as the primary product, and used for the production of ceramic bricks with grades of 75 and 100. Diatomite from the Zhalpak and Utesai deposits and highly plastic bentonite clay from the Darbazin deposit (Kazakhstan) were used as additives. An analysis of the properties of the burned products demonstrated that supplementation with diatomite and bentonite in the loam lowers the average density and increases the compressive strength of samples burned at 1000 and 1100 °C. Herewith, the optimal amount of diatomite and bentonite clay to add is 15%, with a fractional composition of 0.315–0.16 mm and less than 1 mm, respectively. It was established that the optimal additions of diatomite and bentonite clay to loam make it possible to obtain after burning at 1170 °C samples of ceramic products corresponding to the 2nd class in terms of the average density and compressive strength grades M 400 and M 500.
