Beyond the energy balance: Exergy analysis of an industrial roller kiln firing porcelain tiles
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
The ceramic tile manufacturing process consumes large amounts of energy, mainly in the firing stage. Firing usually takes place in natural gas-fuelled continuous roller kilns, the most widely used tile firing facilities ...
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 ...
Residual stresses in porcelain tiles. Measurement and process variables assessment
(Elsevier, 2019-04-22)
This research addresses the residual stresses phenomenon taking place during the manufacture of porcelain tiles. Residual stresses were quantified by the strain relaxation slotting method. The method is based on the fact ...
Inkjet technology for ceramic products. Influence of some process variables on ink penetration
(WileyThe American Ceramic Society, 2019-07-27)
Inkjet technology has become very popular in recent years and is nowadays widely used for
decorating ceramic products. This has led to in-depth study of the operating principles and
process variables involved. These ...
The puzzling issue of silica toxicity: are silanols bridging the gaps between surface states and pathogenicity?
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Background: Silica continues to represent an intriguing topic of fundamental and applied research across various
scientific fields, from geology to physics, chemistry, cell biology, and particle toxicology. The pathogenic ...
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 ...
Análisis de ciclo de vida y reglas de categoría de producto en la construcción. El caso de las baldosas cerámicas
(CSIC, 2011-06-30)
El presente trabajo muestra la evolución de las actividades de Análisis de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) y redacción de las Reglas de Categoría de Producto (RCP) en el sector de la construcción, más concretamente para los recubrimientos ...
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 ...
