Non-isothermal sintering of powdered vitrified composites. A kinetic model
(Elsevier, 2019)
This report sets out the results obtained on studying the sintering process of glass–zircon composites,
analysing the microstructural changes that developed on modifying zircon content. The sintering of composites with ...
Revisiting pyroplastic deformation. Application for porcelain stoneware tile bodies
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
In this research an analysis of firing deformation tendency in porcelain stoneware tile compositions was carried out based on pyroplastic deformation measurements. The effect of the amount and nature of some fluxing additives ...
Workplace Exposure to Nanoparticles during Thermal Spraying of Ceramic Coatings
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-01)
Thermal spraying is widely used for industrial-scale application of ceramic coatings onto metallic surfaces. The particular process has implications for occupational health, as the high energy process generates high emissions ...
Testing the performance of one and two box models as tools for risk assessment of particle exposure during packing of inorganic fertilizer
(Elsevier, 2019)
Modelling of particle exposure is a useful tool for preliminary exposure assessment in
workplaces. However, actual exposure measurements are needed to assess models
reliability. Worker exposure was monitored during packing ...

KATCH_e is a knowledge alliance between research centres, universities and companies to build competences in the field of product-service development for the circular economy and sustainability. This ERASMUS + funded project ...
A numerical approach for the combined analysis of the dynamic thermal behaviour of an entire ceramic roller kiln and the stress formation in the tiles
(Elsevier, 2019-04-12)
The numerical analysis of thermal and fluid dynamics behaviour of an industrial roller kiln used for manufacturing ceramic tiles is carried out and combined with the analysis of the mechanical stresses formed in the final ...
Electromagnetic properties of ferrite tile absorber as a function of compaction pressure
(Elsevier, 2016-07-06)
In this study, the influence of compaction pressure on the electromagnetic properties of Cu-doped NiZn ferrites was investigated. The evolution of the imaginary part – μ″ of the complex magnetic permeability was analysed ...
How can the European ceramic tile industry meet the EU's low-carbon targets? A life cycle perspective
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Ceramic tile manufacturing is deemed to be an energy intensive industry, mainly based on combustion processes and, therefore, subject to European policies aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The “Roadmap for moving ...
