Optimizing raw material composition to increase sustainability in porcelain tile production: A simulation‐based approach

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 2110-2127, April 2024.
Abstract Reducing the environmental impact of porcelain tile production while maintaining cost‐effectiveness is challenging. This work introduced a novel modeling approach for optimizing a standard composition range comprising kaolinite (15–38 wt.%), illite (0–20 wt.%), quartz (20–40 wt.%), and feldspar (20–45 wt.%) to establish a robust composition ...
