Production of Facing Ceramic with a Glazing Effect Based on Low-Plastic Clay and Technogenic Waste from Vladimir Oblast

Abstract

A batch composition was developed for producing facing ceramic based on low-plastic clay. Titanium dioxide (10 wt.%), boric acid (5 wt.%), and galvanic slurry (to 5 wt.%) are introduced into the batch as additives. The influence of the batch components on the composition and structure of the developed material as well as the basic operating properties of the articles obtained on the basis of the new composition is investigated. The results confirm the possibility of synthesizing environmentally safe ceramic obtained as a result of the glazing (self-glazing) effect on the surface of articles and on the surface of the ceramic particles over the entire volume of the ceramic.
