Despite extensive researches, many aspects of the structural transformation that occur in
illite on heating remain unclear. This study concentrates on samples from a mine located in …

The present work investigates the effect of using olive pomace bottom ash, the by-product of
the clay brick industry, as an additive in the manufacture of fired clay bricks. Furthermore, it …

Elastic properties of mixtures of illitic clay, thermal power plant fly ash (fluidized fly ash—FFA
and pulverized fly ash—PFA), and grog were investigated during the heating and cooling …

The aim of this study was to test montmorillonite and hydromica type of brick clays by using
simultaneous thermal analysis and dilatometry in an assessment of the suitability of brick …

Fly ash from coal combusting thermal power plants is a serious problem from the point of
view of its storing and pollution of the environment. Currently, thermal power plants change …

When a mixture of some types of phyllosilicates, particularly kaolinite and illite, together with
quartz and feldspar is subjected to a sufficiently high temperature, ceramics with glassy …

The evolution of Young's modulus and damping is investigated for Czech kaolins in situ via
the impulse excitation technique (IET) from room temperature to 1250 and 1400° C. During …

In a previously published study, the authors explained the formal design efficiency of the 3D-
printed biodigital clay bricks 3DPBDCB: a project that aimed to change the conventional …

Dynamical thermomechanical analysis of 5 illite-based clays from deposits in Slovakia,
Estonia, Latvia, and Hungary is presented. The clays consist of illite (37–80 mass%), quartz …

The nanoscale elastic properties of moist clay minerals are not sufficiently understood. The
aim of the present study was to understand the fundamental mechanism for the effects of …
