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. These new compositions are designed to develop a...detailed
We report convection-free anorthite dissolution experiments in a basaltic melt at 1280–1500 °C and 0.5 GPa on two different crystallographic surfaces, (121¯) and (3¯02) to investigate dissolution kinetics. The anisotropy of the anorthite dissolution rate along these two surfaces is negligibl...detailed
For the development of matt-transparent glass–ceramic coating applied on the porcelain tile, the CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 system was studied. Sinterization and devitrification behavior of granulated frits and viscosity change with temperature were analyzed by combining the data that belong to different...detailed
The research aims to fabricate a porcelain with high strength and transmittance by adding a small amount of anorthite chamotte. The chamotte used in the research was compounded by quartz, calcite and alumina. The porcelain with best overall performance in the research has high flexural strength ...detailed
Silicate glasses show widely varying changes in their longitudinal sound velocities below 10 GPa. These changes are often attributed to structural changes in the glass (or liquid) network. This study reports both sound velocities and structural analysis of CaAl2Si2O8 (anorthite) glass in situ up...detailed
Fluid fly ash could be considered a waste, but, when well treated, it may also become a useful secondary source material. Its rather high content of calcium-containing phases along with thermally treated alumino-silicate residues resulting from coal combustion can lead to the formation of a stab...detailed
The designed cordierite/anorthite batch compositions were studied to gain the favorable properties of both materials where, cordierite has low thermal expansion coffecient and high strength than anorthite.Low cost starting materials such as sugar beat filter cake and talc carbonate were used in ...detailed
