Air- and formulated lime mortars with pulverized brick waste were synthesized with addition of two organic waste-based additives: spent cooking oil and albumen. The addition of spent oil in the mortar induced significant hydrophobic effects, but decreased permeability values and setting kinetics. Parallel additions of oil and albumen in lime mortars significantly increased their hydrophobicity and superficial durability without retarding their setting time thanks to role of fatty acids and unfolded proteins under alkaline conditions. The parallel valorization showed high potentials in synthesis of restorative mortars design with low environmental impact and high respect to the feature of historic mortars. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
