“…A similar trend was noted in the study by De La Garza et al [ 42 ], where the influence of alumina and silica nanoparticles at 1% in porcelain stoneware improved compressive strength (65.27 and 55.37 MPa), confirming the role of nanoparticles in promoting denser microstructures during the sintering process. Additionally, Nawaukkaratharnant et al [ 43 ] reported a notable flexural strength increase with rising firing temperatures, particularly at 3% and 5% wt. Fe 2 O 3 , additions, exceeding 30 MPa after firing above 1150 °C.…”

The ceramic tile industry, with significant energy and material demands in its manufacturing processes, has employed technological innovations in energy efficiency, advanced equipment and tile thickness reduction to address these challenges. This study aimed to assess the impact of Ag2O, CuFe2O4, Fe3O4, and SiO2 nanoparticles (0%, 1%, and 5% by weight) on the mechanical strength, water absorption, and apparent thermal conductivity of ceramic tiles, as well as their capacity to reduce energy and raw material consumption. This reduction translates into a decrease in environmental impacts, which have been evaluated through life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology applied to the manufacturing processes. Nanoparticles (Ag2O, CuFe2O4, Fe3O4, and SiO2) were initially screened on TF clay (0%, 1%, 5% w/w), and the most effective were applied to CR1 and CR2 clays (0%, 1%, 5% w/w). Findings indicated a 32% increase in temperature gradient and a 16% improvement in flexural strength with the addition of Fe3O4 nanoparticle at 1% (w/w) in TF clay. Furthermore, there was a potential 48% reduction in energy consumption, and up to 16% decrease in tile weight or thickness without affecting the flexural strength property of the test tiles. LCA results demonstrated that the addition of Fe3O4 nanoparticle has potential reductions of up to 20% in environmental impacts. This study suggests that nanoparticle addition offers a viable alternative for reducing energy and material consumption in the ceramic tile industry. Future research should focus on assessing the economic impact of transitioning to a sustainable business model in the ceramic tile industry with nanoparticles addition.

“…As received GCIW was obtained from Oldmoon Co., Ltd (Thailand) and red clay was obtained from the dragon jar manufacturing in Ratchaburi province, Thailand. This clay is an attractive raw material for the synthesis of geopolymer because it was rich in silica and alumina [ 26 ]. The chemical composition of red clay and GCIW was shown in Table 1 .…”

Purpose. A binary mixture of a ceramic body was studied, incorporating overburden from a coal mine site in Bontang, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. This overburden material has been tested for the manufacture of stone-ceramic body. Methods. The initial characterization of overburden materials includes testing the chemical composition by XRF analysis and mineral content by XRD analysis on raw materials and overburden exposed to high temperature. The composition of ceramic specimens is a mixture of 85% overburden material and 15% fine sand. Firing temperatures in the range of 900-1100°C were applied to the ceramic body specimen. Then, ceramic properties, such as physical color, plasticity, shrinkage, water absorption and density were analyzed. Findings. The results show that the ceramic specimen experiences densification when exposed to high temperature in this range, which in turn contributes to low water absorption and high flexural strength. This ultimately results in low water absorption below 1.0% at 1100°C, which is favorable for stoneware type of ceramics. The mechanical properties of specimen at 1000°C is in accordance with stoneware body standard. In addition to this, it is believed to be more energy efficient, since the low firing temperature is sufficient to achieve the stoneware specification. Originality. The binary clay-based ceramic have been tested using coal mine overburden and river sand with a high Fe2O3 content. Together with the presence of alkali oxides and calcium in the raw materials, this can potentially reduce the use of fluxing agent. A comprehensive study has been conducted on the characteristics, firing effect and application of stoneware. Practical implications. Some ceramic prototypes from this result were also made using a rotary technique and heated in this temperature range. Since overburden is generally considered to be backfill material, the selective clay material application for ceramics can provide the potential to stimulate local product innovation by utilizing easily available overburden materials.
