Chemometric analysis of the influence of mechanical activation on the mica quality parameters
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The differences in the set of the process parameters measured before and after mica mechanical activation and their influence on the grain size distribution related characteristics have been studied. The modification of ...
Spherical assemblies of titania nanotubes generated through aerosol processing
(Ceramics International, 2015)
We report on the possibility to build hierarchically organized three-dimensional (3D) titania spherical particles having high surface-to-volume-ratio, by aerosol processing of nanotubular building blocks. Morphology and ...
Optimization of drying through analytical modeling: clays as bonding agents in refractory materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The objective of this study was to investigate the clay drying as a unit operation in the refractory materials processing. Two clays that varied in chemical and mineralogical compositions were experimentally tested in a ...
What to expect from heavy clay?
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The need of testing the quality of brickclay arises in all brick factories, with the opening of new deposits. The analyses are both time and economically consuming, so the aim of this study was to shorten the procedure ...
ANN model of brick properties using LPNORM calculation of minerals content
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Mineralogical composition of heavy clays is one of the most important properties when stadying raw materials in brick industry. Within this study, quantitative determination of minerals using LPNORM calculation was performed, ...
Optimization of the production process through response surface method: Bricks made of loess
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Loess clays are commonly used to produce bricks. Heavy clays, taken at location near Zrenjanin, Serbia, are used as a representative raw material in this study. The sample, containing about 28% of clay sized particles, is ...
Analytical modeling of activation procedure applied in alpha-alumina thermo-mechanical synthesis
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The impact of the mechanical processing parameters on the alumina grain-size distribution affiliated characteristics and on the gamma to alpha phase transformation rate was investigated. The moderation in the alumina samples ...
Mathematical approach to application of industrial wastes in clay brick production-Part II: Optimization
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The effects of organic and inorganic waste sludges, coal dust, fly and landfill ashes, soybean crust, sawdust, sunflower flakes and their ash addition to representative heavy clay were investigated. Changes introduced to ...
Prediction and fuzzy synthetic optimization of process parameters in heavy clay brick production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Many factors influence final clay brick properties, since the raw materials used are highly heterogeneous. Statistical analysis is rarely used, according to literature, but it would improve understanding of the overall ...
Artificial fly ash based aggregates properties influence on lightweight concrete performances
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The effect of the application of pelletized fly ash based aggregates obtained through different processing techniques on the behavior of lightweight concretes was analyzed. Experimental program implied production of four ...
