This paper studies the mineralogical and textural changes that take place during the firing in
an electric kiln at 800, 950 and 1100° C of brick samples made with or without additives …

The paper studies the effect of additives such as calcite, dolomite and sodium chloride on
the mineralogical–textural and physical–mechanical behaviour of solid bricks destined for …

This study uses transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical electron microscopy
(AEM) supported by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to …

Mineralogical transformations caused by firing, of five different compositions used in the
formulation of ceramic pastes have been studied. Test samples have been prepared by …

Differences in mineralogical and textural evolution during firing of calcareous and non-
calcareous bricks are studied and correlated with their behaviour in hygric and weathering …

The mineralogical transformations during the firing of six different raw materials used in
ceramic tile manufacturing have been studied. Test samples have been prepared by …

Microtextural and microchemical data on sherds, experimentally fired at different
temperatures, reveal the presence of non-homogeneous compositions of firing phases, even …

Fired-clay bricks are frequently object of conservative actions aimed at the preservation of
cultural heritage. Information on firing conditions is relevant for the production of custom …

The aim of this study has been to analyse the mineralogical and textural transformations of a
set of aluminium-rich shales of interest for refractory and ceramic uses, fired from 800° C to …

In this work were studied the firing transformations undergone by mixtures of illitic-kaolinitic
clays containing CaCO 3, free quarts, iron oxides and other impurities, with other kaolinitic …
