Investigation on the use of volcanic ash as 100% raw materials for traditional vitrified ceramic products is reported. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric–thermal differential analyses (DTA–TGA) and chemical analysis were used to characterise samples. Fired specimens evaluate their properties. Volcanic contains essentially classical oxides, plagioclase, pyroxene olivine principal minerals. In temperature range 1100–1150°C, they present dense structure, low open porosity, without...
The cleaned cathode ray tube (CRT) glass comes from the dismantling plant of TV and PC color kinescopes has been used to completely replace both feldspathic inert components a traditional ceramic body. Panel added (up 20 wt%) mixture two commercial ball clays in order obtain laboratory tiles sintered at 1210°C. Densification studied according ISO rules, while sinterability estimated by optical dilatometry. samples obtained showed main properties similar floor and/or wall tiles.
The crystallization behavior of 10 binary glasses belonging to the CaO–MgO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO quaternary system and two corresponding anorthite diopside composition was investigated by X‐ray diffraction, thermal, thermomechanical analyses, scanning electron microscopy. Particular emphasis is laid on quantitative diffraction analysis Rietveld–reference intensity ratio combined procedure, which seems be a useful tool obtain time–temperature–transformation diagrams. Results showed that...
The mimicking of physiological conditions is crucial for the success accurate in vitro studies. For inhaled nanoparticles, which are designed being deposited on alveolar epithelium and taken up by macrophages, it relevant to investigate interactions with pulmonary surfactant lining alveoli. As a matter fact, formation lipid corona layer around nanoparticles could modulate cell internalization fate transported drugs. Based this concept, present research focused between Solid Lipid...
The heating microscope is a widely used instrument in many industrial applications, especially the ceramic field, to obtain information on sintering behavior and, indirectly, viscosity curve of glass. It therefore important for study glass technology. Usually, microscopes work by taking images sample outline, during preset thermal cycle, which define five characteristic temperatures corresponding particular shapes specimen. first two can also be extracted from curves provided instrument. In...
