Simple estimates of vehicle-induced resuspension rates
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
Road dust emissions are considered to be a major source of airborne particulate matter (PM). This is particularly true for industrial environments, where there are high resuspensionrates of deposited dust. The calculation ...
Effect of ceramic industrial particulate emission control on key components of ambient PM10
(Elsevier, 2009)
The relationship between specific particulate emission control and ambient levels of some PM10 components (Zn, As, Pb, Cs, Tl) was evaluated. To this end, the industrial area of Castellón (Eastern Spain) was selected, where ...
Relation between the scratch resistance and the chemical structure of organic-inorganic hybrid coatings
(Elsevier, 2011)
Organic–inorganic hybrid materials can be defined as materials combining organic and inorganic domains in a nanometric scale. The development of these organic–inorganic hybrids has achieved properties from both organic and ...
Correlation between the wear resistance, and the scratch resistance, for nanocomposite coatings
(Elsevier, 2011)
The nanoscratch test, used in this study, quantitatively characterizes the scratch behaviour of coatings. Some of the obtained parameters are plastic and elastic deformation, critical load to start the scratch, chipping ...
Cleaner production of porcelain tile powders. Fired compact properties
(Elsevier, 2012-03)
A new ceramic powder preparation process, the droplet-powder granulation process (DPGP), was recently proposed for the cleaner production of ceramic tiles. The DPGP granules and resulting pressed compacts were characterized ...
A procedure to evaluate the resistance to biological colonization as a characteristic for product quality of ceramic roofing tiles
(Elsevier, 2011)
Ceramic roofing tiles suffer deterioration through time due to environmental exposure. Biological colonization affects the appearance and integrity of building materials, such as roofing tiles. The resistance to biocolonization ...
Influence of composition on mechanical behaviour of porcelain tile. Part II: mechanical properties and microscopic residual stress
(Elsevier, 2010-03)
The influence of the starting composition on the mechanical properties of sintered porcelain tile was evaluated based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics. Tile compositions were prepared according to a simplex-centroid ...
Kinetic model of the dissolution process of a zirconium white frit. Influence of the temperature
(Elsevier, 2015)
The dissolution of a zirconium white frit has been studied in order to know the kinetics of the process. The concentrations of five cations (Ca, Mg, Zn, Si and B) have been determined by ICP-OES after carrying out the ...
Solution Combustion Synthesis of (Co,Fe)Cr2O4 pigments
(Elsevier, 2012)
The synthesis of mixed cobalt–iron chromites, Fe1−ΨCoΨCr2O4 (0 ≤ Ψ ≤ 1), has been studied by Solution Combustion Synthesis using urea as fuel. Characterization by XRD and SEM showed that crystallinity, cell parameters, ...
Study of the rheological behaviour of monomodal quartz particle beds under stress: a model for the shear yield functions of powders
(Elsevier, 2011-09-15)
A model is proposed that describes the yield locus of powders. The model is based on the adhesive contact of elastic spheres theory developed by Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts (JKR model). The proposed model improves the ...
