Clinkers and cements obtained from raw mix containing ceramic waste as a raw material. Characterization, hydration and leaching studies
(Elsevier, 2010)
A clinker and a cement obtained from a raw mix containing ceramic waste as an alternative raw material were characterized in the present study. Their hydration, physical-chemical properties and leaching behaviour in different ...
Monitoring and possible reduction of HF in stack flue gases from ceramic tiles
(Elsevier, 2010)
HF (hydrogen fluoride) emission control is one of the critical environmental parameters in the firing of ceramic materials at peak temperatures higher than 1000 °C. In this study, in-stack concentrations of HF were monitored ...
Influence of the particle size on the microstructure and mechanical properties of grains containing mixtures of nanoparticles and microparticles: Levitator tests and pilot-scaled validation
(Elsevier, 2013)
The spray drying process is used in many industrial applications. However, different grain properties can be desirable depending on the later use of the powders produced. In this work the influence of the particle size on ...
Delayed curvature and residual stresses in porcelain tiles
(Elsevier, 2013)
Most industrial porcelain tiles suffer changes in their curvature after firing: such process is known as delayed curvature. One of the hypotheses used to explain this phenomenon is based on the relaxation of residual ...
Microstructure and photocatalytic activity of APS coatings obtained from different TIO2 nanopowders
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
In recent years, intense research has shown that thermal spray techniques, especially atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), can be used to obtain nanostructured TiO2 coatings with effective photocatalytic activity.
This ...
Polymorphism-Triggered Reversible Thermochromic Fluorescence of a simple 1,8-Naphthyridine
(ACS Publications, 2013-01-04)
The fluorescent behavior in the solid state of a naphthyridine-based donor–acceptor heterocycle is presented. Synthesized as a crystalline blue-emissive solid (Pbca), the compound can easily be transformed in its P21/c ...
Evaluation of texture distribution during the industrial polishing process of porcelain stoneware tiles
(Elsevier, 2013)
The present work addresses the distribution of texture over the surface of porcelain stoneware tiles due to kinematics imposed by industrial polishing process. The scratching process was simulated using a computational ...
Synthesis and electrochemical behavior of ceramic cation-exchange membranes based on zirconium phosphate
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
Cation-exchange membranes made exclusively from ceramic materials have been synthesized by means of the impregnation of microporous ceramic supports with zirconium phosphate. Changes in the pore size distribution and total ...
Development of a WD-XRF analysis method of minor and trace elements in liquid petroleum products
(Elsevier, 2013)
This paper describes a methodology for the analysis of minor and trace elements in liquid petroleum products, with varying oxygen content between 0% w/w and 3.4% w/w and varying C/H ratio between 7 and 9, by wavelength-dispersive ...
Electrophoretic deposition of nanostructured TiO2/alginate and TiO2-bioactive glass/alginate composite coatings on stainless steel
(Maney Publishing, 2014-01)
Two alginate (Alg) based composite coatings on stainless steel AISI 316L substrates, one containing titania nanoparticles (n-TiO2) and another one a mixture (50/50 wt-%) of n-TiO2 and bioactive glass (BG), intended for ...
