• closedAccess   Cleaner production of porcelain tile powders. Fired compact properties 

      Shu, Zheng; García Ten, Francisco Javier; Monfort, Eliseo; José Luis, Amorós Albaro; Zhou, Jiaji; Wang, Yong-Xu Elsevier (2012-03)
      A new ceramic powder preparation process, the droplet-powder granulation process (DPGP), was recently proposed for the cleaner production of ceramic tiles. The DPGP granules and resulting pressed compacts were characterized ...
    • closedAccess   Fracture properties of spray-dried powder compacts: Effect of granule size 

      José Luis, Amorós Albaro; Cantavella Soler, Vicente; Jarque Fonfría, Juan Carlos; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos Elsevier (2008)
      Inappropriate mechanical properties of spray-dried powder compacts lead to significant green product losses, entailing considerable costs in ceramic tile manufacture as well as serious environmental problems. In addition, ...

      José Luis, Amorós Albaro; Cantavella Soler, Vicente; Jarque Fonfría, Juan Carlos; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos Elsevier (2008)
      This paper presents a comparative study of three- and four-point bending tests and diametral compression (DC) tests, used to measure the mechanical strength of green pressed compacts. The study has been conducted on pressed ...
    • closedAccess   Non-destructive measurement of bulk density distribution in large-sized ceramic tiles 

      José Luis, Amorós Albaro; Boix, Juan; Llorens, D.; Mallol Gasch, Gustavo; Fuentes, I.; Feliu Mingarro, Carlos Elsevier (2010)
      An apparatus has been designed, built, and patented that is able, non-destructively, to determine bulk density distribution in large-sized ceramic tiles. The proposed method, based on the X-ray absorption technique, provides ...
