Lime sludge (LS) is a solid waste from lime making industry and normally disposed in landfill or recycled. LS has been studied as one of the raw materials in various ceramic productions such as bricks, ceramic tiles and glass-ceramics. In this study, LS was utilized in the preparation of bioactive glass using the 45S5 bioactive glass. The 45S5 bioactive glass contains SiO2 (45 wt.%), Na2O (24.5 wt.%), CaO (24.5 wt.%) and P2O5 (6 wt.%). It has the ability to bond with soft tissue and promote bone growth. The LS was combined with bioactive glass as a potential replacement of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The ratio between LS:CaO was varied (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 100:0) to study the effect of LS weight percentage on the bioctive glass. The preparations of bioactive glasses involved batching, mixing, melting at 1400 °C, water quench and milling. LS was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), while the fabricated glasses were characterized using particle size analyzer, XRD and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results proved that the phase and chemical composition of bioactive glass were not affected by the addition of LS. The XRD and SEM results indicated that the addition of lime sludge in bioactive glass was effective to promote the formation of hydroxyapatite (HA) layer.

AbstractA unique collection of high-quality late medieval (fifteenth–sixteenth century) glazed and unglazed stove tiles from the northern part of the Carpathian Basin is of great interest to archaeologists and art historians. It is yet to be determined if these products, which are characterised by similar features, were produced in a single workshop, perhaps in Besztercebánya/Banská Bystrica (in present-day Slovakia), or in several workshops throughout the region. The first systematic multi-analytical investigation was carried out on the ceramic body and glaze of one hundred and seventeen tile fragments from six sites (Besztercebánya/Banská Bystrica, Fülek/Fiľakovo, and Csábrág/Čabraď in Slovakia; Salgó, Eger, and Szécsény in Hungary) using polarising microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe, and Raman microspectroscopy analyses to determine the raw materials and production techniques used. Based on the petrographic characteristics, phase and chemical composition of the ceramic body, and the chemical composition and colourants of the glazes, the stove tiles can be classified into three primary groups. Tiles from different sites are different to each other, only the tiles from the Hungarian sites and from Fülek/Fiľakovo are similar. Thus, it is probable that the tiles were produced in several (at least three) workshops in the region from where they were then dispersed. The technological knowledge of the master(s) producing the polychrome Csábrág/Čabraď tiles with tin-opacified glazes was higher than that of the master(s) producing the other tiles. However, the exact location of the workshops as well as their existence through time is still in unknown.

This work involved the first-ever characterization of antique Portuguese ceramic wall tiles in the Historic Center of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil. The tiles were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chemical analysis to identify the possible raw materials used in the fabrication process, as well as the firing temperature of these materials. The results indicate that the microstructure of these materials consists of pores of varying sizes with calcite incrustations and quartz grain sizes smaller than 500 µm distributed in a pinkish yellow matrix, which were identified by XRD as calcite, gehlenite, wollastonite, quartz, and amorphous mineral phases. Based on this information, it can be inferred that the original raw materials probably consisted of a mixture of kaolinitic clays (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) rich in calcium carbonates and quartz, or mixtures of kaolinitic clays, quartz and calcite, which did not reach the pre-firing temperature of 950ºC.

In this work, the thermal treatment temperature effect on phase formation and bioactivity of glass-ceramics based on the SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 system has been studied. The chemical composition of the system is 45 wt.% SiO2, 24.5 wt.% Na2O, 24.5 wt.% CaO and 6 wt.% P2O5 (45S5). The rice husk ash is used as the natural raw materials instead of commercial SiO2. All of the investigated compositions were prepared by melting the glass mixtures at 1350°C for 3 h. The resulting glass samples were heated at different thermal treatment temperatures ranging from 750 to 1050°C with fixed dwell-time for 4 h for crystallization. Phase identification of the 45S5 glass ceramics was carried out by X-Ray diffraction (XRD). Moreover, the physical properties such as density, porosity and mechanical properties were systematically investigated. It was found that, the increasing of heat treatment temperature led to the increasing of the Na2Ca2Si3O9 phase and obtaining better bioactive behavior after incubation of glass-ceramics in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7 days. The maximum hardness value of 4.02 GPa was achieved after heating at 1050°C for 4 h. However, the density value has slightly changed with various heat treatment temperatures.

Sewage sludge was tested as component for producing glass-ceramics with the addition of analytic reagent CaO to solve the sewage sludge disposal problems. The effect of alkalinity (Ak=mCaO/mSiO2) on the characteristics of the glass-ceramics was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate thermal behavior and crystalline phase of the samples. It was found that the degree and characteristics of crystals in vitrified sludge significantly correlate to the alkalinity of the raw materials. The glass-ceramics with Ak = 0.36 possessed the best physical and chemical properties.

Reduction electric furnace slag, quartz sand and soapstone were used as the raw materials for preparation of glass-ceramics according to their compositions and characteristics. Differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate the crystallization mechanism, microstructure and main mechanical properties of slag glass-ceramics with different mass ratios of MgO/Al2O3. The exothermic peaks of the DTA curves shift to higher temperature with the decrease of MgO/Al2O3ratio. And along with the decreasing of the MgO/Al2O3, the crystallization of the glass-ceramics also decreased. The bending strength can reach 153.09MPa when the MgO/Al2O3ratio is 3.03.

The Santa Gertrudes ́ Ceramic Polo is the Brazilian region with national and international prominence in the manufacturing of ceramic tiles. Some raw materials used by ceramic industry and coatings industries in this region were characterized in terms of chemical-mineralogical and microscopic view, in order to promote the best technological characterization of them. For this, chemical analysis of major elements and trace X-ray diffraction and microscopic analysis by SEM, TEM and Electron microprobe were performed by ICP-MS. The results showed that the raw materials commonly referred to as "clays" are actually constituted by various mineral phases, which directly influence the properties of the same ceramics. Also showed that, by virtue of this constitution, different formulations can be developed, using the best raw materials found in the region of Santa Gertrudes, SP.

In this study, the effects of heat treatment temperatures on structural and magnetic properties in MnFe2O4(MF)/SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 (bioglass) bioactive glass ceramics were investigated. The MF/SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 bioactive glass ceramics were fabricated under various heat treatment temperatures in a range of 600-1000 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterize phase and microstructure. The magnetic properties were determined from Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The X-ray diffraction peaks presented two major crystalline phases: MnFe2O4 and Na2Ca2Si3O9. It was found that the heat treatment temperatures are the most influential parameter on microstructure and magnetic properties of the bioactive glass ceramics. The highest magnetic properties of studied ceramics were found in the sample heated at 1000 °C with adding 20 wt%. MF. The microstructural properties of the studies samples were investigated and the results were then correlated with the characteristics of heat treatment temperatures as well as the microstructure of the bioactive glass ceramic.

Glass-ceramic in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 quaternary system was prepared using Baiyunebo tailing and fly ash as main raw materials by the method of melting. The processes of producing glass-ceramic included mixture, melting, molding, annealing, heat treatment, etc. The processing schedule for glass melting temperature, nucleation and crystallization temperature were chosen as 1450°C, 720°C and 850°C. The influences of glass components ratio on the structure were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). It can be found that the main crystalline phase of augite, anorthite, magnesioferrite or magnetite mainly depended on glass components ratio. The results of mechanical measurements indicated that the bending strengths, density and chemical durability of glass-ceramics were concerned with the main crystal phase. The glass ceramics with augite phase had higher performance compared with others.
