The Use of Ornamental Stone Waste (OSW) as Raw Material for Porcelain Ceramic Tiles Production

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite the relevant contribution of the ornamental stone industry to the international economy, the large volume of waste generated during the production process is one of the main problems faced by the sector. Currently, the ceramic industry has shown to be a powerful alternative for the use of these wastes.

Structural Characterization of Natural and Processed Zircons with X‐Rays and Nuclear Techniques

open access: yesAdvances in Condensed Matter Physics, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
In ceramic industry, zircon sand is widely used in different applications because zirconia plays a role as common opacifying constituent. In particular, it is used as a basic component of glazes applied to ceramic tiles and sanitary ware as well as an opacifier in unglazed bulk porcelain stoneware. Natural zircon sands are the major source of zirconium

Effect of nanosilica and nanoboehmite in the pyroplastic deformation of a porcelain tile paste

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Porcelain tiles are low‐porosity ceramic coatings, formed by a mixture of clay minerals, quartz, and feldspars, and fired at temperatures close to 1200°C with formation of a liquid phase that can result in unwanted pyroplastic deformations. In addition, the rectangular formats, large dimensions, reduced thicknesses, and fast thermal cycles ...

Effect of Crushed Glass Cullet Sizes on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Red Clay Bricks

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
This study reports the effect of clear waste glass from bottles added on 20 to 30 wt.% and variable particle size (<500, <300, and <212 μm), into clay mixtures for the handmade brick manufacturing process. The bricks were manufactured with mixtures of clay, crushed glass, and water in different proportions, homogenized, casted in wooden molds, air ...
