Ceramic sanitaryware products are produced using inorganic and non-metallic raw materials such as clay, kaolin, quartz and feldspar at certain rates. After mixing and grounding process, the slip is obtained. The products are shaped in gypsum or synthetic resin moulds. Green bodies are fired at 1250 °C for 16–18 h, and their water absorption values...

Seramik köpük malzemeler günümüzde hem filt re hem de yalıtım amacıyla yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmada SiC, MgCO3 ve Li2CO3 ilavelerinin seramik esaslı köpüklerin özellikleri üzerine etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda farklı katkı oranlarında kompozisyonlar hazırlanmıştır. Bu kompozisyonlar ile üretilen köpük...

Bu deneysel çalışmada döküm prosesinde kullanılmak üzere ve SiC esaslı seramik köpük filtrelere alternatif olarak yerli ve daha az maliyetli alümina esaslı seramik filtre üretmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem olarak replikasyon yöntemi uygulanarak 8-10 PPI’da iki farklı poliüretan süngerler kullanılmıştır. Seramik filtre denemeleri için farklı süspansiyon...

Raw materials and energy are among the most important costs in ceramic sanitaryware production. With the decrease in raw material sources and increasing costs of energy in recent years, researches on alternative raw materials and energy have started to gain importance. In this study, blast furnace slag and spodumene were used to reduce both energy...

The recycling of industrial wastes has in recent years become a priority issue. The relevant work on reducing the adverse effects of industrial wastes is becoming more important. Farina (raw mix) is a crude mixture obtained by grinding the raw materials used in cement production. The oxides at a high rate ensure that the cement raw mix waste dust i...

New production systems developed in recent years made it possible to improve different aesthetic appearance and large sizes for porcelain stonewares. In order to produce these tiles, optical and mechanical properties of the porcelain stonewares should be improved. Optical and mechanical properties also related with microstructure. In this study, sp...

Wear resistance is of great importance for many industries related with minerals. The particles seen in these industries may cause erosion. These particles may have various sizes, shapes, and hardness, and may also impact the surface at various angles and speeds. Wear resistance is also important for the ceramic tile industry because the materials,...

In this study, technological and heat isolation properties of porous ultra-lightweight porcelain foams were investigated. Traditional construction materials such as brick show good durability against environmental conditions. Bricks are also a good alternative compared to pumice blocks and autoclaved aerated concrete which are largely used as const...

The volume of wastes generated from heavy industries, such as cement and steel industries, is increasing, and the cost of landfill disposal grows daily. Economical and eco-friendly areas of recycle are being developed to stop the growth of these waste products. Cement kiln dust (CKD) is a waste product in the cement industry. It contains very fine...

Nowadays, the recycling of industrial waste is one of the priority issues. Recycling studies related with reducing the negative effects of wastes on the environment are becoming increasingly important. It was believed that nothing was beyond recycling, and manufacturers should take greater responsibility for their part in the waste economy to apply...

Nepheline syenite is used instead of feldspars as fluxing in ceramics. In this study, three ceramic bodies were prepared. Nepheline syenite was substituted by Na feldspar in the ratio of maximum 30 wt.%. The pyroplastic deformation was evaluated together with technological properties, including linear shrinkage, water absorption and strength. Phase...

This study focused on porous lightweight clay bricks as a construction material as opposed to autoclaved aerated concrete and pumice blocks. Traditional clay bricks exhibit good stability against environmental conditions and are an economical alternative compared to other construction materials. Furthermore, clay bricks have better mechanical prope...

This study aims to demonstrate the suitability of using lightweight ceramics as a construction material in preference to autoclaved aerated concrete and pumice blocks or the more commonly used brick. For construction applications, ceramics show good stability under fatigue loadings and severe environmental conditions and are an economical alternati...

Reusing the waste products generated in ceramic manufacturing is an environmentally responsible and sustainable approach. This study aims to protect natural resources, minimise raw material costs and manage waste-generated pollution by reusing the vitrified sanitaryware waste (VSW) products from Canakkale Kalebodur Seramik San. A. S. Six sample for...

In the last decade, environmental preservation has become an important issue. Specifically, recycling of sanitaryware fine fire clay (FFC) waste is important for reducing costs. In this study, the use of FFC waste as an alternative raw material in the production of ceramic wall tiles was investigated. Five ceramic wall tile bodies were prepared by...

Spodumene, which is a lithium alumina silicate, has been used as a raw material in the production of thermal shock resistant whitewares and sanitarywares. The presence of spodumene results in enhancement of mullitization and imparts better physical and mechanical properties to ceramics. In this study, the influence of Lithium alumina silicate phase...

Lithium aluminosilicates, such as spodumene, have been used as raw materials in the production of thermal shock resistant whiteware and sanitaryware. The presence of spodumene causes enhancement of mullitization and imparts better physical and mechanical properties to ceramics. In this study, the influence of Li2O-content on the properties of a sta...
