Study of the grinding process of a RAW material of ceramic nature

Abstract

In this degree final project, I have been working with Technology Ceramic Institute of the University Jaume I of Castellón de la Plana. In recent years, the form of decoration of ceramic tiles has completely changed. The apparition of the first decorating ceramic tiles machine which used digital inkjet technology revolutionized the ceramics sector. These developments have made a necessary remodeling in the traditional inks and their properties to adapt them to the required ones for this new type of applications. In this project, a review of digital inkjet technology will be done and different formulations of ink with alumina will be studied as preliminary studies in order to get a matt effect.
