Reuse of solid petroleum waste in the manufacture of porcelain stoneware tile

Journal of Environmental Management, 2013
This study investigates the incorporation of solid petroleum waste as raw material into a porcelain stoneware tile body, in replacement to natural kaolin material by up to 5 wt.%. Tile formulations containing solid petroleum waste were pressed and fired at 1240 °C by using a fast-firing cycle.

The use of nepheline-syenite in a body mix for porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2005
In the study, the possibility to use nepheline-syenite, as fluxing agent, in a body mix used for porcelain stoneware tile, was determined. Starting from the reference mix composition, different amounts, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.6 wt.%, of sodium feldspar were replaced with the same amounts of nepheline-syenite.

Development of anorthite based white porcelain stoneware tile compositions

Ceramics International, 2015
Abstract The scope of the present study is to develop alternative white porcelain stoneware tile compositions without using zircon (ZrSiO4) which have shown better whiteness values than standard white porcelain stoneware tile composition containing zircon.

Porcelain stoneware tiles with antimicrobial action

Ceramics International, 2014
Abstract This work reports the development of extruded porcelain stoneware tiles that show antimicrobial (to act as a barrier to the bacteria's growth during a long period of time), and anti-stain (easy to clean) actions, and possess high chemical resistance.

The reliability of polished porcelain stoneware tiles

Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2005
The flexural strength and the Young’s modulus of as fired and polished porcelain stoneware tiles were investigated. Bending tests were carried out on suitable specimens, cut from five commercial products before and after polishing. The differences found in the flexural strength data were evaluated by the analysis of variance and the determination of ...

Resistance to impact of porcelain stoneware tiles

Ceramics International, 2016
The impact resistance of ceramic tiles is an important technical requirement, especially for large size and/or low thickness slabs. The standard test for ceramic tiles (ISO 10545-5) is non-destructive: it determines the coefficient of restitution of a small sample (75 x 75 mm(2)) assembled on a concrete substrate under a weak impact energy (0.27 J ...
