ZrSiO4/ZrO2 thermal barrier coatings produced by suspension plasma spraying
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)
Zircon has excellent thermal properties that make it a good candidate for thermal barrier coatings. Although it suffers decomposition at high temperature, significant amounts of zircon phase can be retained in the coatings ...
Relationship between certain ceramic roofing tile characteristics and biodeterioration
(Elsevier, 2011)
This paper examines the relationship of certain red ceramic roofing tile properties to roofing tile biodeterioration. The following properties were studied: apparent porosity, roughness, and the presence or absence of two ...
Unveiling the Toxicity of Fine and Nano-Sized Airborne Particles Generated from Industrial Thermal Spraying Processes in Human Alveolar Epithelial Cells
(MDPI, 2022-04-13)
High-energy industrial processes have been associated with particle release into workplace
air that can adversely affect workers’ health. The present study assessed the toxicity of incidental
fine (PGFP) and nanoparticles ...
Preparation of high solids content nano-titania suspensions to obtain spray-dried nanostructured powders for atmospheric plasma spraying
(Elsevier, 2012)
Nanosized TiO2powder with an average primary size of ∼20 nm and surface area of ∼50 m2/g (Aeroxide®P25, Degussa-Evonik, Germany) was used as starting material. A colloidal titania suspension from the same supplier was also ...
Development of lightweight porcelain stoneware tiles using foaming agents
(Elsevier, 2012)
Recent market trends for porcelain stoneware tiles indicate that there is a growing interest for lightweight products, to be used vertically, in internal walls or ventilated facades. The decorative and structural functions ...
Diffuse PM10emission factors associated with dust abatement technologies in the ceramic industry
(Elsevier, 2011-12)
In this paper, an analytical methodology is proposed for estimating diffuse dust emissions from bulk solids managing (storage, handling, and transport) activities in the ceramic industry. The methodology is based on ...
Influence of composition on mechanical behaviour of porcelain tile. Part I: microstructural characterization and developed phases after firing
(Elsevier, 2010-03)
The porcelain tile is a ceramic product with high technical and aesthetic performance, whose composition is formulated from a mixture of clay or kaolin, quartz and feldspar. This paper is the first part of a study focusing ...
Lightweight Porcelain Stoneware by Engineered CeO2 Addition
(Wiley, 2010)
The use of porcelain stoneware in innovative applications such as the covering of internal walls or the manufacturing of ventilated facades may be limited by its relatively high density. In this paper, we discuss the ...
Alkaline activation of metakaolin–fly ash mixtures: Obtain of Zeoceramics and Zeocements
(Elsevier, 2008-02)
This study examines the variation in physico-mechanical properties and mineralogical and microstructural characteristics of the alkaline inorganic polymers obtained by alkaline activation, with a mixture of sodium silica ...
Characterization of silica–water nanofluids dispersed with an ultrasound probe: A study of their physical properties and stability
(Elsevier, 2012)
The stability and agglomeration state of nanofluids are key parameters for their use in different applications. Silica nanofluids were prepared by dispersing the nanoparticles in distilled water using an ultrasonic probe, ...
