“…A preliminary study on the characteristics of the clay for ceramic purposes was conducted using a high-ferric clay source from northeastern Morocco, which contains mostly smectite clay, which has a high humidity content and problems with swelling during forming and drying [18]. In conclusion, a recommendation was made to include other less plastic minerals with in the clay to create appropriate mixture for ceramic materials.…”

Purpose. The research focuses on the improvement of local clay-based ceramic pottery bodies from Alas Angker in Buleleng Regency in Bali. The main purpose is to utilize the clay which meets the standards of ceramics such as smooth and hard earthenware, especially to reduce its water absorption property. Methods. Firstly, the clay is analyzed for its physical and chemical composition. Two ceramic body formulations are made using the clay with the BWNAA1 and BWNAA2 codes. The specimens are measured in terms of clay ceramics properties including plasticity, dry shrinkage, firing shrinkage and water absorption. The cracked ceramic products are also analyzed for a comparison. Findings. The ceramic properties show similar results, except for the water absorption percentage. The BWNAA2 code formulation has lower water absorption rate by 10.8% and meets the requirements for the type of smooth and hard earthenware body in compliance with the national standard SNI:7275-2018. The water absorption rate is about half of the existing products, which is effective in avoiding the problem of cracks. Originality. Comparison of the existing ceramic products and specimens made in this study shows a significant difference in water absorption and crack growth. Adding a certain amount of kaolin, feldspar, ball clay and quartz sand has significantly reduced the water absorption rate of ceramic bodies. Practical implications. This research can be a potential solution to increase the quality of ceramic pottery products in the vicinity of Buleleng Regency which use the clay of this kind.

“…The mixture is molded into the desired shape, then dried and fired at a high temperature into hard bricks. Firing conditions such as final temperature and heating rates should be adjusted based on the input materials used [26,27]. Although smectite minerals are not used in large volumes due to their higher plasticity and swellability, in smaller amounts they give strength and contribute to the desired vitrification or color properties [17,28].…”

Clay minerals have a great influence on the resulting properties of ceramic bodies. Fly ash as a waste material from burning black coal in power plants is a potentially valuable source of oxides (Al2O3, SiO2 or Fe2O3) for this production. Considering the process of ceramic firing, it is important to understand the thermal behavior of individual ingredients. The thermal behavior of natural smectite minerals (montmorillonite, beidellite, hectorite and nontronite) and their mixtures with added fly ash at different ratios (10%, 30% and 50%) was investigated. The phase analysis was obtained using X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. Under heating to 1200 °C, the structural changes of smectites were divided into four steps including dehydration, dehydroxylation, decomposition and crystallization of new phases. The addition of fly ash caused a shift in the reaction temperatures for all the mentioned phases. These changes were most noticeable for mixtures with hectorite; on the contrary, they were least noticeable for beidellite mixtures. Total mixture mass loss continually decreased with increasing fly ash amount. The obtained experimental thermal data can be applicable not only in the production of ceramic bodies or energy waste processing but also in construction and ensuring the safety of municipal waste landfills.
