Ceramic manufacturers are finding the way to decrease firing temperature and recover their wastes in order to keep production costs down. In this study earthenware ceramic bodies were prepared by adding a soda-lime glass grinding effluent powder (dried sludge) as a fluxing agent at 0–50 wt.% into either sanitary ware sludge powder (from a sanitary ware manufacturing process) or fresh pottery clay from Ang-thong, Thailand. The dried and pressed mixtures were fired at 1100, 1125 and 1150 °C and tested for the firing shrinkage, modulus of rupture, water absorption and bulk density. The formed product microstructure was observed by the scanning electron microscopy, and the phase composition was characterized by X-ray diffractometer. The results revealed that the best condition for adding the glass powder in Ang-thong pottery clay was the inclusion of 10 wt.% soda-lime glass effluent powder in the pottery clay. Its flexural strength increased from 51.25 MPa to 93.40 MPa after firing at 1125 °C with the water absorption of 0.42 wt.% and the firing shrinkage of 10.25 %. The optimum firing temperature and soda-lime glass content in sanitary ware sludge were 1150 °C and 20 wt.%, respectively. Its flexural strength increased from 103.16 MPa to 118.16 MPa with the water absorption of 0.52 wt.% and the firing shrinkage of 13.67 %. The results illustrated the potential to use soda-lime glass cutting sludge and sanitary ware sludge as raw materials for earthenware ceramic body.

In the south of Ceará (Brazil), Cariri region, there is a production center for roof tiles and bricks. At that same region, there has been an expressive mining of laminated limestone, known as Pedra Cariri (Cariri Stone), which has produced large amounts of CaCO3-rich waste, that causes undesirable impacts to the environment. This work aimed to analyze the feasibility of producing rustic ceramic tiles, made up of clayey masses used in the region with the addition of this waste, aiming at the diversification of red ceramic products in a sustainable way. The mixtures were pressed, fired in maximum firing temperature which varies from 750° to 1150oC and had their physical-mechanical characteristics tested. The results indicated that the clayey mass is composed of kaolinite, feldspar and quartz, while montmorillonite and/or vermiculite is only found in roof tile clayey mass. The waste is mainly made of calcite. In general, the values of water absorption were compatible with porous rustic ceramic tile and the addition of Pedra Cariri waste provided lower values of firing shrinkage as well as the increase of the flexural strength. The samples of roof tile clayey mass (10% of waste at 850°C and at 1150°C) obtained physical-mechanical property values that match Brazilian technical norms to BIII type ceramic tile. Therefore, the mixture formulated with tile clayey mass and limestone waste presents potential to be utilized in the manufacture of ceramic roof tiles.

Dan Kwian, Sukhothai and Ratchaburi pottery clays are economically important pottery clays. They are well known in the Thai ceramic society for making Dan Kwian pottery, Sawankhalok pottery and Dragon jars, respectively. There have been several studies of these pottery clays. However, few of them used statistics to analyze their results. This work is a comparative study of the compositions and properties of these three pottery clays using statistical software to analyze the results. Results show that the major components of these pottery clays are SiO2 and Al2O3. The Modulus of Rupture (MOR) of each pottery clay fired at 700°C are not significantly different. Sukhothai pottery clay fired at 900°C has a higher MOR and bulk density while its porosity, water absorption and apparent specific gravity are less than those of the Dan Kwian and Ratchaburi pottery clays fired at the same temperature. Additionally, the current study developed regression equations for estimating the properties of all pottery clays under study. Finally, it was found that the L*, a*, b* and reflectance spectra of all pottery clays increased when firing temperature was increased from 700 to 900°C.

It has been investigated the effect of firing temperature on water absorption and flexural strength in the manufacture of BL1P code stoneware ceramics. Ceramics are made in the form the test block bar with materials from of Borneo Clay Noodle, PRC Feldspar, Kaolin Belitung, Belitung Quartz, Ballclay Bantur, Bentonite, and Talk with a simple casting method. The block bar of the molds was burned at four temperature variations, i.e. 850, 900, 1000, and 1200 oC. From the results of measurements of it water absorption, it was found that the increase in firing temperature from 850 oC to 1200 oC showed a decrease in water absorption from 18.3% to 5.5%, while the measurement of it flexural strength showed an increase in flexural strength of 11.6 kg/cm2 to 19.8 kg/cm2.

In this project, limestone dust from a limestone crushing plant was mixed with several pottery clays from the Northeasetern part of Thailand, i.e., Ban Ponsai, Ban Tha Hai, Ban Nanuan and Ban Nam Kamnoi. The limestone dust was sieved and then mixed with 4 sources of clays at 50 wt%. Samples with and without limestone dust were sintered at 700°C for 1 h. Compared to the samples without limestone dust, the samples with limestone dust showed higher flexural strength and slightly higher water absorption, but lower linear firing shrinkage. Furthermore pottery was produced using the mixture of pottery clay and limestone dust.

Influence of limestone sludge (generated during the washing process of limestone crushed aggregates) with high content of CaO in the form of calcite on the properties of brick body made from non-calcareous sludge (from the washing process of quartz sand) as a basic plastic brick clay was determined. Presence of calcite very distinctly influenced the firing process and properties of fired body. Limestone sludge decreases firing shrinkage, bulk density and coefficient of thermal conductivity of the brick body after the firing in the range of 850 – 950 °C. Higher modulus of rupture and water absorption is typical for fired bodies with limestone sludge addition. Most of these improvement are caused by the formation of anorthite only in the bodies based on the limestone sludge.

The failure of a pane of glass from a solar box cooker made and used in Sabana Grande, Nicaragua, was analyzed to determine the cause of failure and to recommend possible solutions. Background research into solar box cookers, the environment in which the failure occurred, characteristics of glass and wood, methods of fractography, and glass cutting tools and methods was carried out. The type of glass used in the solar cooker was unknown, so the observable physical properties, an energy dispersive spectroscopic scan, and thermal analysis of the glass were used to identify the glass as soda-lime glass. The properties of the glass, the conditions of use, and an analysis of the fracture pattern and fracture surfaces were used to determine that the glass had been weakened by cutting processes and that the fracture occurred as a result of thermal stresses. Several recommendations were presented including altering the design of the solar cooker to provide more clearance for the glass panels, incorporating the use of improved glass cutting techniques and sanding the edges of the glass.

The Relationship

The paper presents research results on the use of silica rock in the production of lining ceramic brick. The analysis of clay samples showed that they are non-sintering raw materials. The dependence is obtained between the firing temperature and the average density of ceramic brick. It is shown that the firing temperature depends on the material composition with the product water absorption. The relationship is detected between the firing shrinkage, density, and water absorption. The experiments on silica rock sintering show that the ceramic brick made therefrom has a low average density, increased firing shrinkage, porosity and water absorption. Silica raw materials can be used in the ceramic brick production.

Production of porous and light-weight bricks with acceptable flexural strength is accomplished. Sawdust was used as an additive to an earthenware brick to produce the pores. SEM-EDS, XRD and XRF analysis of the raw materials and the elaborated refractory were performed. Mixtures containing sawdust were prepared at different proportions (up to 30%). Apparent porosity at 1600 °C was investigated with the bulk density, water absorption, firing shrinkage and flexural strength. Microstructural investigation was carried out by both natural light microscopy and polarized light microscopy. The results obtained showed that the samples tested here maintained their shape without undergoing any deformation up to 1600 °C. The use of sawdust decreased the fired density of the bricks down to 1.24 g/cm³.
