Air quality comparison between two European ceramic tile clusters
(Elsevier, 2013-08)
The European ceramic tile industry is mostly concentrated in two clusters, one in Castelló (Spain) and another one in Modena (Italy). Industrial clusters may have problems to accomplish the EU air quality regulations because ...
Estimation of the heat of reaction in traditional ceramic compositions
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
Most energy studies on the traditional ceramic manufacturing process focus on the firing stage because this is the process stage that consumes the greatest amount of thermal energy. At present in Europe, using typical ...
Environmental development of the Spanish ceramic tile manufacturing sector over the period 1992–2007
(Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio, 2012-03)
The Spanish tile manufacturing sector has grown steadily over the years covered by the three benchmark studies, carried out
in 1992, 2001, and 2007, from which data are compared in this paper. In that period, production ...

Spatial and temporal variations in airborne particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) across Spain 1999–2005
(2008-06)
Average ranges of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) concentrations and chemical composition in Spain show significant variations across the country, with current PM10 levels at several industrial and traffic hotspots ...
A new cleaner process to prepare pressing-powder
(Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio, 2011)
An alternative cleaner process of pressing-powder preparation, based on filter-pressing and a novel granulation method, is presented to substitute the existing spray-drying process. In the new process, about two-thirds of ...
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 ...

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 ...
Multi-step oxidative carboxylation of olefins with carbon dioxide by combining electrochemical and 3D-printed flow reactors
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
The selective oxidation of alkenes to form epoxides followed by the cycloaddition of CO2 is a sustainable and cost-efficient method to generate functional cyclic carbonates. The use of a continuous-flow process allows ...
