On the Relationship between Exposure to Particles and Dustiness during Handling of Powders in Industrial Settings
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-07)
Exposure to ceramic powders, which is frequent during handling operations, is known to cause adverse health effects. Finding proxy parameters to quantify exposure is useful for efficient and timely exposure assessments. ...
Tile decoration with greener technologies: spray pyrolysis and solution combustion synthesis for alternative colorations
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya- BarcelonaTECH.Sociedad Española de Cerámica y VidrioSocedade Portuguesa de Cerámica e VidroCentro de Integridad Estructural, Fiabilidad y Micromecánica de los Materiales (CIEFMA-UPC), 2018-10)
The great concern about environmental impacts of different industries if forcing the research in more nature-friendly processes. In the case of ceramic tiles manufacture, decoration stage consumes pigments or frits for ...
Wastes from industrial processes introduced as chamottes in ceramic membranes
(Universitat Politècnica de València. Research Institute for Industrial, Radiophysical and Environmental Safety (ISIRYM). Prometeo Research Group (Membrane Processes and Environmental Effluent Treatment), 2018-07-09)
In the present work, chamottes generated as subproducts by different industrial processes have been used to obtain low-cost ceramic membranes.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sintered microstructure effect on RF-wave shielding properties of a Cu-doped Ni–Zn-polycrystalline ferrite
(Elsevier, 2021)
The shielding properties of a Cu-doped Ni–Zn polycrystalline ferrite in the frequency range 1 MHz to 1 GHz were explored. Samples of composition (Cu0.12Ni0.23Zn0.65)Fe2O4 were prepared by the traditional ceramic route. The ...
Influence of microstructure and magnetizing mechanisms on magnetic complex permeability (imaginary part) of a Cu-doped Ni-Zn polycrystalline ferrite
(Elsevier, 2021)
The complex permeability of the Cu-doped Ni–Zn polycrystalline ferrites is strongly dependent on microstructure, particularly on relative density (ϕ) and average grain size (G), as it has been shown in a previous ...
Health risk assessment from exposure to particles during packing in working environments
(Elsevier, 2019-06-25)
Packing of raw materials in work environments is a known source of potential health
impacts (respiratory, cardiovascular) due to exposure to airborne particles. This activity
was selected to test different exposure and ...
Environmental comparison of indoor floor coverings
(Elsevier, 2019)
Appropriate selection of construction materials plays a major role in a building's sustainable profile. The studysets out a comparative life cycle assessment of indoorflooring systems of different nature. Theflooring ...
