      Escardino Benlloch, Agustín; Gómez-Tena, Maria Pilar; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos; García Ten, Francisco Javier; Saburit Llaudis, Alejandro Elsevier (2013-08)
      This study examines the thermal decomposition process of the calcium carbonate (calcite powder) contained in test pieces of porous ceramics, of the same composition as that used in manufacturing ceramic wall tile bodies, ...
    • closedAccess   Development of lightweight porcelain stoneware tiles using foaming agents 

      García Ten, Francisco Javier; Saburit Llaudis, Alejandro; Bernardo, Enrico; Colombo, Paolo Elsevier (2012)
      Recent market trends for porcelain stoneware tiles indicate that there is a growing interest for lightweight products, to be used vertically, in internal walls or ventilated facades. The decorative and structural functions ...
    • closedAccess   Foaming of flat glass cullet using Si3N4 and MnO2 powders 

      Saburit Llaudis, Alejandro; Orts Tarí, María José; García Ten, Francisco Javier; Bernardo, Enrico; Colombo, Paolo Elsevier (2009)
      The introduction of a compound capable of releasing oxygen, such as MnO2, greatly improves the foaming ability of Si3N4 used as foaming agent in soda-lime glass powder, leading to expansion at a relatively low temperature ...
    • openAccess   Kinetic study of the thermal decomposition process of calcite particles in air and CO2 atmosphere 

      Escardino Benlloch, Agustín; García Ten, Francisco Javier; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos; Saburit Llaudis, Alejandro; Cantavella Soler, Vicente Elsevier (2013-05)
      The thermal decomposition process of calcite particles (0.45–3.60 mm average diameter), made up of porous agglomerates of very small CaCO3 microcrystals, was studied in the 975–1216 K temperature range. The experiments ...
    • closedAccess   Lightweight Porcelain Stoneware by Engineered CeO2 Addition 

      Bernardo, Enrico; De Lazzari, Marco; Colombo, Paolo; Saburit Llaudis, Alejandro; García Ten, Francisco Javier Wiley (2010)
      The use of porcelain stoneware in innovative applications such as the covering of internal walls or the manufacturing of ventilated facades may be limited by its relatively high density. In this paper, we discuss the ...
