Electrochemical Degradation of Reactive Black 5 using two-different reactor configuration
(Nature Research, 2020)
Novel Sb-doped SnO2 ceramic electrodes sintered at different temperatures, are applied to the degradation of Reactive Black 5 in both divided and undivided electrochemical reactors. In the undivided reactor the discoloration ...
A numerical approach for the combined analysis of the dynamic thermal behaviour of an entire ceramic roller kiln and the stress formation in the tiles
(Elsevier, 2019-04-12)
The numerical analysis of thermal and fluid dynamics behaviour of an industrial roller kiln used for manufacturing ceramic tiles is carried out and combined with the analysis of the mechanical stresses formed in the final ...
Compositional effect on humidity self-regulation functionality in gibbsite-based ceramic tiles
(Elsevier, 2022-08-23)
This paper analyses the effect of the starting composition on the humidity regulating capacity of a gibbsite-based composition successfully tested for the manufacture of ceramic tiles. For this purpose, the proportion of ...
