Özet
In the last decade, environmental preservation has become an important issue. Specifically, recycling of sanitaryware fine fire clay (FFC) waste is important for reducing costs. In this study, the use of FFC waste as an alternative raw material in the production of ceramic wall tiles was investigated. Five ceramic wall tile bodies were prepared by substituting kaolin (max. 15 wt%) with FFC wastes. All formulations were mixed, pressed into pellets and sintered at 1145 degrees C. The sintering behaviour was evaluated using an optical dilatometer. Water absorption, linear shrinkage and bending strength were also measured. This study revealed that FFC wastes are good alternative raw materials, and the corresponding formulations were shown to be viable in the manufacturing of ceramic tiles. The most remarkable conclusion from this study was that the addition of FFC waste decreased moisture expansion. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.
