Abstract:
The paper investigates possibility of ancient ceramics technology recreation based on materials of archaeological excavations and experimental simulation and describes results of the research. The structure and properties of ceramic samples found during archaeological excavations of the neolithic age and clay raw materials from different deposits were studied. The fragments under study were shown to consist mainly of light-melting clays, possessing polimineral composition with additives of fire clay, sand, loose sedimentary rock, and in some cases wool and vegetation. Clays under study are characterized by variability of chemical and mineral composition, by their combining it is possible to obtain optimal moulding compositions to produce ceramic products of artistic and architectural-structural purpose. Overview of scientific and technical information in archaeology and the obtained experimental results enable to reveal compositions and peculiarities of ancient technology of ceramics production and technical decoration application. Peculiar features of experimental simulation of the ancient ceramics technology considering chemical and mineral composition of clay raw materials are described.

Abstract:
Mineral constituents, particle size and chemistry of ceramic raw materials may control the way ceramic products are formed and fired. Three compound (combined mixtures of 20 raw samples) clay samples from Chanakia area, Pelloponnese (S. Greece), were mineralogically and chemically investigated and their utilization as raw materials for the ceramic industry was evaluated. These samples come from different clay formations, they have red, blue and green colors and constitute the raw materials for a local brick plant. Particle size distribution analysis showed that the percentage of clay size fraction (d<2μm) ranges from 28.3 to 36.3 wt.%. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the main mineral constituents are quartz, micas, feldspars (plagioclases, orthoclase), calcite (except the red - clay) and clay minerals (discrete illite, mixed - layered illite/smectite, chlorite and traces of smectite and vermiculite). Projection of their bulk chemistry on some triangular discrimination diagrams has aided us to evaluate their suitability for ceramics production, namely majiolica (earthenware), cottoforte, gres and bricks were evaluated. In conclusion, all the studied materials are proved unsuitable for high quality ceramic products. Specifically, the blue and green clays were found suitable for earthenware ceramics as are high porosity building bricks, roofing tiles and similar products, while the red clay is appropriate for gres ceramics as are the low porosity tiles and bricks.

Abstract:
We investigated the use of waste glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) to remove dye from industrial wastewater. The dye adsorbent material, based on GFRP/clay ceramics, was produced by mixing crushed GFRP with clay and firing the resulting mixture. Several types of ceramics were produced by adjusting the mixing ratio of clay, crushed 40% GF/GFRP, and firing atmosphere. Adsorption tests with methylene blue (MB) dye were performed by mixing the ceramics into an MB solution while controlling the stirring speed and measuring the decrease in MB dye concentration over time. These results showed that GFRP/clay ceramics reductively fired at 1073 K had a higher MB dye adsorption ability than that of the clay ceramic. The MB dye absorptivity of the reductively fired ceramics increased as we increased the mixing ratio of GFRP. We attribute this result to the high plastic carbide content in the ceramic, which has excellent dye absorbability. Furthermore, these particles had a comparatively high specific surface area and porosity.

A simple, inexpensive, and environmentally-friendly process for converting mixtures of clays and polymers has been developed. Polymer and clay are combined in water, and the mixtures are freeze dried to produce materials which have bulk densities typically in the range of 0.03 – 0.15 g/cm3. These low density polymer/clay aerogel materials possess good mechanical properties similar to those of traditional polymer foams, can be reinforced with fibers, modified with nanoparticles, biomineralized, or converted into porous ceramics.

Abstract:
To reuse waste glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs), porous ceramics (i.e., GFRP/clay ceramics) were produced by mixing crushed GFRP with clay followed by firing the resulting mixture under different conditions. The possibility of using ceramics fired under a reducing atmosphere as adsorbent materials to remove NOx and SOx from combustion gases of fossil fuels was investigated because of the high porosity, specific surface area, and contents of glass fibers and plastic carbides of the ceramics. NO2 and SO2 adsorption tests were conducted on several types of GFRP/clay ceramic samples, and the gas concentration reduction rates were compared to those of a clay ceramic and a volcanic pumice with high NO2 adsorption. In addition, to clarify the primary factor affecting gas adsorption, adsorption tests were conducted on the glass fibers in the GFRP and GFRP carbides. The reductively fired GFRP/clay ceramics exhibited high adsorption performance for both NO2 and SO2. The primary factor affecting the NO2 adsorption of the ceramics was the plastic carbide content in the clay structure, while that affecting the SO2 adsorption of the ceramics was the glass fiber content.

Abstract:
Fore knowledge of the characteristics of ceramic raw materials is of utmost importance during the development, processing and production stages of any ceramic product. This work describes the characterization of clays commonly used in the ceramics industry. Two different clays were selected: clay A, from Tubarão-SC and clay B, from Porto Alegre-RS. Their chemical composition was obtained by X-ray fluorescence and their mineralogy by X-ray diffraction, coupled with numerical rational analysis. Their thermal behaviour was studied by differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry. Their particle size distribution and plasticity were also determined. Clay A showed circa 47.5 % quartz (by weight), 40.2 % kaolinite and 9.9 % muscovite mica. Clay B showed a high kaolinite content (circa 72 wt.%), accompanied by montmorillonite (circa 10 %) and potash feldspar (circa 10 % microcline). Clay B was found to be much more plastic than clay A, and both are suitable for pottery, tiles and brick making.

Abstract:
Global warming and the high energy demands of fossil fuel in industries have led governments to implement legislation aimed towards developing more energy efficient and sustainable processes. In the brickwork industry, the burning of coal and natural gas provides the energy to fire clay bricks in the 900-1200 oC range into high quality building materials. Microwaves powered by renewable energy sources have been suggested as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Microwave heating has been considered a promising technique for the processing of clays due to the potential energy consumption and carbon footprint reductions, and for its volumetric heating nature, which enables the fast and uniform heating of a load. This could result in improving the mechanical properties of the fired products. The aims of this project were to develop an understanding of how microwaves interact with clays in order to show whether they could be used to fire clay-based building materials, and to understand how this could be achieved and the parameters that affect it. The composition of Danish clays was quantified, i.e. quartz, calcite, albite, orthoclase, kaolinite, montmorillonite and muscovite, and their thermal evolution was studied across the firing range. The dielectric properties of clays were measured at 912-2470 MHz and 20-950 oC in order to investigate the microwave/clay interaction, assess the effects of changing composition, temperature, frequency and material's density on their potential for microwave processing, and provide critical information on the design and scale up of this technology. Relating the mineralogy of a material and its evolution during heating to changes on the dielectric property trends, and thus microwave processability, was examined for the first time in this thesis. Insight into the influence of individual components on the potential for microwave heating was gained from an analogous study on clay constituents. While the dielectric constants of clays were found to be relatively stable during heating, their loss factors fluctuated with temperature. Free and physically bound water were the dominant dielectric species near room temperature, while their removal halved the loss factors until 350 oC. Beyond this temperature, a steady increase in the loss factors concurred with the mineral dehydroxylations. The loss factors sharply rose beyond 800 oC due to sintering effects, while calcite decomposition partially counteracted this growth. Montmorillonite and muscovite were the most microwave absorbing mineral species due to their water affinity and interlayer cation content, enabling the microwave treatment of the whole clay. On the other hand, a frequency shift from 2470 MHz to 912 MHz resulted in a loss factors increase. This is mainly due to the frequency shifting towards the dipolar dispersion area of physically bound water and the zone in which ionic conductivity heating effects dominate. Mixing rules were used to relate each single mineral to dielectric property variations, and thus rapidly gain knowledge of the microwave processability of any clay across the firing range based on its composition. Böttcher model provided accurate estimations when compared to experimental measurements, and with the same degree of uncertainties at the 912-2470 MHz frequencies and 0.56-0.37 void fraction ranges. The model was expanded for different compositions with clays from Spain, England and Netherlands. This was the first time that mixing rules were successful in estimating mixtures of more than three constituents. A microwave system was developed with the aim of firing clay products of comparable quality to conventional specimens. The basis of design focused on maximising the thermal uniformity of the clay load. The process design steps involved remodelling the clay load, building heat transfer models of the load, carrying out trials to study whether clays behave as expected from their dielectric properties, i.e. volumetric or selective heating, minimising thermal gradients, and assessing alternative methods for the control of the holding stage. Microwave firing cycles manufactured clays with a thermal uniformity at the height of firing of 1050±55 oC and reduced processing times to < 3 h. This is 92% faster than in brickworks, where conventional samples could not match the heating rates without cracking. High temperature (>800 oC) mineral reactions went unfinished due to the reduced holding time of the microwave treatment (30 min), which resulted in dimmer surface colorations. Enhanced thermal uniformity and reduced time for densification resulted in specimens with a 12% higher compressive strength, 38% larger water absorption and 7% higher void fraction. Clay samples three times as big were fired to gain an insight into the scale up of the technique. A tighter process control and higher reproducibility were reported, which is promising for potentially allowing longer holding times in scaled up processes, but the product quality improvement did not change. Looking into an industrial scale up, further work would be required to assess possible design concepts, and an optimal microwave firing process may require complete redesign of the furnace configuration, where several challenges need to be considered, such as brick arrangement, power availability and applicator size and shape. For the purposes of assessing the possible economic and environmental impact of implementing microwave clay firing at industrial scale, one of the most straightforward designs, i.e. retrofitting of an industrial tunnel kiln for microwave processing, was considered. Although energy expenditures would decrease from 11.6 GJ fuel/h to 6.1 GJ electricity/h when using a microwave system for the same throughput, the higher cost of electricity and microwave equipment over conventional burners made the conventional technique more economically feasible. The substitution of natural gas by electricity powered by green energy sources resulted in carbon footprint reductions of >95%, and agreed with the energy policies of numerous countries and supranational organisations worldwide.

Abstract:
Abstract Understanding the phase transformations/developments that result due to varying the production parameter of engineering materials is vital to development of new materials. The effects of yttria and niobium oxide on the phase changes and mechanical properties of mullite fiber reinforced zircon-zirconia ceramic composites produced by in-situ sintering of raw materials was investigated. Varied amounts of powder zirconia, yttria and niobium oxide were mixed in a turbula mixer with a fixed composition of clay (70% volume) of known mineralogical composition and mechanically milled in a planetary ball mill. The blended powders/clay were compacted into standard sample dimensions, and finally fired at 1400°C and held at varied time of one, two and three hours. The fired samples were characterized using ultra-high resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (UHR-FEGSEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Various mechanical properties of the sintered samples were also investigated. It was observed that the investigated mechanical properties (with the exception of shrinkages) improved with the amount of raw zirconia initially used in the samples. It was also observed that addition of niobium oxide favours the formation polymignite phase, while the presence of both yttria and niobium oxide in the raw materials resulted in the formation of fergusonite phase in the samples. Both additives favour the phase transformation of zirconia from monoclinic to tetragonal and cubic phases even at temperature as low as 1400°C. It was concluded that the improved mechanical properties of the samples was due to strengthening by both mullite fibers reinforcement and phase transformation strengthening.

Abstract:

Development of products which can be produced from a country’s natural resources is very important as far as the industrialization of a nation and saving foreign exchange is concerned. Presently, industries in Uganda and the other states in the Lake Victoria region import all refractory-related-consumables, as the demand cannot be met locally. Based on the abundance of ceramic raw materials for high temperature applications in the region and the demand for refractories by industries it is pertinent to develop and manufacture firebricks by exploiting the locally available raw materials.

This thesis thus, concerns the characterisation of ceramic raw mineral powders from the Lake Victoria region, more particularly, Uganda, with the aim of developing firebrick refractories from the minerals. Two main deposits of kaolin and a ball clay deposit were investigated to assess their potential in the manufacture of refractory bricks. Raw- and processed sample powders were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (DTA-TG) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In addition, the chemical composition, particle size distribution, density, and surface area of the powders were determined.

A comprehensive study on beneficiation of Mutaka kaolin was carried out using mechanical segregation of particles. The aim of the study was to explore other potential applications like in paper filling and coating. The beneficiation process improves the chemical composition of kaolin to almost pure, the major impurity being iron oxide.

A general production process scheme for manufacturing fireclay bricks starting with raw powder minerals (Mutaka kaolin and Mukono ball clay) was used to make six groups of sample fireclay brick. Experimental results from the characterization of formulated sample bricks indeed revealed the viability of manufacturing fireclay bricks from the raw minerals. Based on these results, industrial samples were formulated and manufactured at Höganäs Bjuf AB, Sweden. Kaolin from the Mutaka deposit was used as the main source of alumina while ball clay from Mukono was the main plasticizer and binder material. The formulated green body was consolidated by wet pressing and fired at 1350°C in a tunnel kiln. Characterization of the sintered articles was done by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and chemical composition (ICP-AES). In addition, technological properties related to thermal conductivity, thermal shock, alkali resistance, water absorption, porosity, shrinkage, permanent linear change (PLC), linear thermal expansion, refractoriness under load (RUL), and cold crushing strength were determined. The properties of the articles manufactured from the selected naturally occurring raw minerals reveal that the produced articles compare favourably with those of parallel types. Thus, the raw materials can be exploited for industrial production.

Abstract:
A turn away from language and the human mind as the dominant (or only) determinants of reality can be identified within many disciplines, including anthropology, philosophy and literature, reflecting a growing acceptance of human and non-human, living and non-living entities as real, complex and partially withdrawn agents in the world. In Object Oriented Ontology the definition of object is extended to include humans, who have no special ontological status. Timothy Morton proposes rhetoric as a means of drawing closer to other objects, of contacting the ‘strange stranger’; objects cannot be known directly, or fully, but can be explored through imaginative speculation. Drawing on Object Oriented Ontology, my project explores making - an intimate engagement between body and material - as a means of thinking the body as a (strange) object within a mesh of strange objects. Facture is documented as image and language, prompting a series of shifting, speculative questions: • Can writing be brought to making to generate new new approaches to craft production? • How might writing in response to making, or objects, be reintroduced into a making process as a form of feedback? • Can writing_making methods generate new approaches to writing (about) making and materials? • How might a combination of production, documentation and reflection be displayed as artwork/research? • Can making be seen as a means for contacting the ‘strange stranger’?

Abstract:
Thermal insulating refractories are an integral part of each thermal unit since they reduce its energy consumption. The current phenomenon of saving in both environmental and financial aspects reflects in searching for such possibilities to produce at lower manufacturing and material costs. One of the possible ways is to valorise waste materials. The theoretical part then deals with the division of refractory materials, classification of thermal insulation refractory materials and manufacturing technologies. The experiment is focused on the production of insulating refractory materials made from plastic dough with a possibility of using sawdust and materials made by pressing mixture moist, with a focus on coal bottom ash. Both of these technologies will be tested for the possibility of modification by using mixed clays and of increasing the strength by using clays with lower sintering temperature.

Abstract:
Locally available and with infinite recycling possibilities, the use of earth as building material leads to one of the lowest environmental impacts in the construction sector. Recent advances in the earth materials field have been made based on concrete and ceramics technologies to facilitate its uses in dense areas. It is possible to modify clay particle interactions and the material's whole behavior by adding inorganic dispersants and flocculants into clay paste. Earth becomes easy to cast and unmold into formworks, and by removing cement in its composition, poured earth can reach a low CO2 emission rate. Even if this technology is promising, further work has to be performed, as it cannot be implemented on earth from excavation sites with high variability. Tackling the clay nature variability is now the main issue to push this product on the market with robust properties. This research investigates the robustness of the poured earth binder. In this way, several clays (three montmorillonites, two kaolinites, and binary mixes at different proportions) were investigated. Their compacity (C) was determined following the water demand protocol with Vicat apparatus and compared to their consistency properties (liquidity and plasticity limits), and a correlation between these values is established. Different clay pastes prepared at different solid volume fractions were tested to define the influence of the clay nature on the paste consistency evolution. The results showed that clay nature for paste at high solid volume fraction does not influence constituency's evolution when their respectivecompacity is taking into account. It can be suggested that for a clay binder with a consistency close to C, which might be mandatory for poured earth application, only the swelling capacity might influence the mix design.

Abstract:
Reviews of relevant literature and interviews with individuals cognizant of the state-of-the-art in ceramic filters for hot-gas cleaning were conducted. Thermodynamic calculations of the stability of various ceramic phases were also made. Based on these calculations, reviews, and interviews, conclusions were reached regarding the use of silicon carbide-based ceramics as hot-gas filter media. Arguments are presented that provide the basis for our conclusion that high-purity silicon carbide is a viable material in the integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and pressurized fluidized-bed combustion (PFBC) environments we examined. Clay-bonded materials are, we concluded, suspect for these applications, their extensive use notwithstanding. Operations data we reviewed focused primarily on clay-bonded filters, for which a great deal of experience exists. We used the clay-bonded filter experience as a point of reference for our review and analysis.

Abstract:
В статье представлены результаты технологического анализа круговой керамики XI – первой половины XII вв. из нижних пластов раскопа 2013 г. на Конюшенном дворе в Ростове. Технологическое изучение керамики проводилось по методике А.А. Бобринского. В производстве использовались преимущественно сильнозапесоченные ожелезненные глины с дресвой и органикой. К редким традициям относится применение шамота. Предположительно с импортными сосудами связано использование неожелезненной глины и песка. В результате прямой зависимости между формой венчика и технологией не выявлено. Керамику одной морфологической группы изготавливали, вероятно, разные группы гончаров. The report outlines the results of technological analysis of circular ceramics made in the XI – the first half of the XII centuries from the lower layers of the excavation that took place in 2013 at the Livery yard in Rostov. Technological study of ceramics was held according to A. A. Bobrinsky methodology. Hard oversanded ferruginized clay with grus and organic were generally used for ceramics manufacture. Chamotte as material was used quite rarely. Unferruginized clay and sand were presumably typical for imported vessels. The study revealed no direct relation between rim shape and pottery technology. It is likely that ceramics of the same morphological group was made by different groups of potters.

Abstract:
This paper describes research in adapting 3D printers to operate with low-cost ceramic materials. The components produced with these clay-based ceramic powders can be fired to produce strong, complex and lightweight ceramic parts. The final material properties, including the porosity of the parts, can be controlled through the part design and, potentially, through additives to the material that burn out during firing. The paper begins with a brief description of the 3D printing process and how it can be used with clay powders. It then introduces a factorial design experiment initiated to explore the effect of ingredient and parameter variations on the dimensional stability and material properties of green and fired ceramic parts. It then presents a case study in which 3D printed ceramic parts are used in the humidification system for an infant incubator for developing countries.

Abstract:
В статье изложены итоги изучения традиций отбора и добычи исходного пластичного сырья, существовавшие в гончарстве населения, изготовлявшего керамику «джукетау». Проведено комплексное изучение технологии керамики этой группы в соответствие с историко-культурным подходом А. А. Бобринского: технико-технологический анализ и эксперимент в форме физического моделирования, а также использованы петрография (OMP) и эмиссионный спектральный анализ (ESA). Выявлена массовая традиция использования в качестве пластичного сырья незапесоченных глин. В округе городища Джукетау были зафиксированы выходы отложений глин серого цвета с высокой пластичностью. Анализ результатов эксперимента, составов проб сырья и керамики показал, что такие глины могли использовать гончары в качестве сырья для изготовления керамики этой группы. Изученные пробы сырья соотносятся с бентонитовыми глинами из верхнетретичных отложений. В результате сопоставления территории распространения этого вида глин в Поволжье и археологических памятников, содержащих керамику «джукетау», поставлен вопрос о зависимости этой гончарной системы от своей сырьевой базы. The article deals with the results of studies dedicated to the traditions of selection and extraction of clay raw material in the pottery of the population which made Dzhuketau ceramics. A comprehensive study of this group’s pottery in accordance with A. A. Bobrinsy’s historical and cultural approach was conducted which included technical-technological analysis and an experiment in the form of physical modelling, petrography (OMP) and emission spectral analysis (ESA) were also used. A wide-spread tradition of using fine clay (without sand) as plastic raw material was detected. The deposits of grey clay with high plasticity were found around Dzhuketau hillfort. The analysis of experiment results, content of samples of raw material and ceramics demonstrated that such clay could be used by potters as raw material for making ceramics of this group. Samples of raw material studied correspond to bentonite clays from the Upper Tertiary deposits. Through comparison of territories of such type of clays in the Volga region and archaeological sites with Dzhuketau pottery a question was raised about the dependence of this pottery system on such a raw material base.
