This work is focused on the study of macroscopic and microscopic properties of traditional
sanitary-ware vitreous bodies as a function of feldspar flux and firing time-temperature …

Five porcelain and porcelain stoneware bodies were investigated to compare sintering
mechanisms and kinetics, phase and microstructure evolution, and high temperature …

The recycling of cement asbestos slates (CASs) thermally treated in air at 1100° C as
secondary raw material in the production of Vitreous China (VC) sanitary wares has been …

The densification of kaolin with high content of middle ordered kaolinite was investigated by
non-isothermal thermodilatometric analysis (TDA) under load. The compacted powder was …

A non-isothermal kinetic analysis of high-temperature processes occurring during thermal
treatment of kaolinite is performed by the thermodilatometric analysis. The measurements …

The ceramic industry consumes a large amount of raw materials, much of which consists of
fluxes. In view of the growing demand for infrastructure and sanitation, the waste valorization …

The present investigation deals with how minor elements (their oxides: MgO, Na 2 O and SO
3) in industrial kiln feeds affect (i) chemical reactions upon clinkering,(ii) resulting phase …

In general, CO2 capture from flue gas is a costly procedure, usually due to the energy
required for regeneration of the capture medium. One potential medium which could reduce …

The high strength aluminous porcelain insulator with a mineral composition of kaolinite,
corundum, microcline, quartz, small amounts of albite and anatase was investigated by in …

The apparent viscosity of concentrated clay dispersions is a key control parameter in the
ceramic industry, particularly in the manufacture of sanitaryware. Slips, the final industrial …
