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 ...
Porous single-fired wall tile bodies: Influence of quartz particle size on tile properties
(Elsevier, 2010)
This study examines the effect of quartz particle size in raw material composition customarily used for the manufacture of porous single-fired wall tile bodies on the characteristics of the green tiles and on the thermal ...
Thermal conductivity of traditional ceramics. Part I: Influence of bulk density and firing temperature
(Elsevier, 2010)
The thermal conductivity of traditional ceramics is known to be a function of their porosity or bulk density. However, the scatter in the thermal conductivity-bulk density data in certain studies, particularly when data ...
Calcium carbonate thermal decomposition in white-body wall tile during firing. I. Kinetic study
(Elsevier, 2010)
This study examines the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate, contained in disk-shaped test pieces formed from a mixture of raw materials of a similar composition and characteristics to those of the mixtures customarily ...
Porcelain tile: Almost 30 years of steady scientific-technological evolution
(Elsevier, 2010)
Despite the great global significance of porcelain tile manufacture, the scientific activity in porcelain tile's almost 30-year existence does not match the importance of the business. Although scientific output has been ...
Obtainment of bactericidal inkjet inks based on Ag-nanocomposites
(German Ceramic Society, 2013)
In this study, ceramic inks were formulated that are able to develop bactericidal properties and are appropriate for application by inkjet printing. These inks contain silver nanocomposites and are applied on to unfired ...
Microstructure and indentation mechanical properties of YSZ nanostructured coatings obtained by suspension plasma spraying
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
A commercial nanosuspension of yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) was successfully deposited on austenitic stainless steel substrate by suspension plasma spraying technique (SPS). A SG-100 torch with internal radial injection ...
Sintering of raw glazes for floor and porcelain tiles: A non-isothermal kinetic model
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
New fritless glaze compositions have been developed for floor and porcelain tiles from a new boron raw material obtained by calcination. The complexity of this type of composition also translates into complex behaviour ...
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 ...
Properties of Ca–(Y)–Si–Al–O–N–F Glasses: Independent and Additive Effects of Fluorine and Nitrogen
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Thirty glasses of composition (in equivalent percent) 20-xCa:xY:50Si:30Al:(100-y-z)O:yN:zF, with x = 0, 10; y = 0, 10, 20, and z = 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 were prepared by melting and casting. All glasses were X-ray amorphous. Glass ...
