Kinetic study of calcite particle (powder) thermal decomposition: Part I
(Elsevier, 2008)
In the first step of the firing cycle used to manufacture white-firing wall tile bodies, the calcium carbonate that is added, as a source of CaO, to the clay raw materials mixture used to form these bodies needs to decompose. ...
Fracture properties of spray-dried powder compacts: Effect of granule size
(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, ...
Densification of monomodal quartz particle beds by tapping
(Elsevier, 2008)
A study has been undertaken to determine how the mean particle size of monomodal quartz particle beds and the bed preparation method affect initial and final bed apparent density and the kinetics of densification by tapping. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Quartz dustiness: A key factor in controlling exposure to crystalline silica in the workplace
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The classification of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) as carcinogenic for humans has drawn greater attention to crystalline silica exposure in the workplace in recent years, leading to recommendations by safety and ...
Evolution of fluorine emissions during the fast firing of ceramic tile
(Elsevier, 2008)
The present paper examines the emission-adsorption phenomena of fluorine compounds in various ceramic tile body compositions with different fluorine and calcium contents, processed by fast firing cycles in an electric ...
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 ...
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 ...
