A generic system for the classification of marble tiles using Gabor filters

2008 23rd International Symposium on Computer and Information Sciences, 2008
This paper presents a marble tile feature extraction system which can be easily used for any classification system. Our system employs Gabor filtering and other image processing techniques to differentiate between different marble textures. As a final product of the system, the percentages of veins, spots, and swirls on the marble images are calculated.

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of flooring materials: ceramic versus marble tiles

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2002
Abstract Flooring materials, particularly ceramic and marble tiles, play a relevant role in the Italian economy since this country covers respectively 23% and 18% of the world output in this sector. In this paper a comparative Life Cycle Assessment between these two flooring materials has been carried out in order to identify the one with the best ...

The use of sewage sludge and marble residues in the manufacture of ceramic tile bodies

Applied Clay Science, 2009
The substitution of clayey raw materials for other wastes, in this case urban sewage sludge and marble sludge, in the production of traditional ceramics could be cost effective from the utilisation and recycling of these wastes as a secondary raw material.

Incorporation of fillers from marble and tile wastes in the composition of self-compacting concretes

Construction and Building Materials, 2015
Abstract The objective of this paper is to evaluate the incorporation of wastes from marbles and tiles factories as mineral additives to self-compacting concrete (SCC) and to substitute at 100% the known additions (limestone filler, fly ash, …). The use of these wastes can help produce economical self-compacting concretes (SCCW) and reduce the amount

Study on the surface quality of marble tiles polished with Sol-Gel derived pads

Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology, 2019
Sol–gel (SG) pads are used to polish different types of marble tiles and obtain high-gloss, low roughness, and scratch-free surfaces. The main features of such tools are semiconsolidated abrasives and flexible substrates. Through experiments with three types of polishing methods and two different types of tools used to polish marble tiles, the ...

Recycling of Marble Waste in the Manufacturing of Ceramic Roof Tiles

2019
Marble dust is the waste generated during the cutting process of marble blocks. Recycling that waste in the manufacture of ceramic products helps in reducing environmental pollution, lower the production cost, and also achieve sustainable development that saves sources of raw materials for future generations.

A specific kind of Moscow tile – tiles with marbled decoratio

Археология Подмосковья: Материалы научного семинара, 2019
Flat, painted stove tiles with marble-effect decoration first appeared in Moscow in the 1740s, and continued in popularity until the latter 18th century. The author attributes this development to a rising fashion for interior decoration featuring marbled plaster for interiors, stoves, and fireplaces.
