“…Basaltic materials have many important properties and useful application as it can increase the bending strength of tiles while preserving the physicalchemical properties required and improving the sintering quality and is considered the main component of the raw material compositions for making glass ceramic materials, and it can be used as a heat-and fire-resistant material because of its low thermal conductivity, high oxidation resistance, and high softening and melting temperatures [10].…”

Glass-ceramics were prepared from basaltic rocks and by-pass cement dust. The effects of addition of the nucleating agents Cr 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , and CaF 2 on crystallization, phase assemblages, and microstructure were investigated. The glasses were melted at a temperature of around 1400°C and heat-treated at 1000°C for 2 h; the produced glass was examined by DTA, while glass-ceramics was examined by XRD and SEM. The presence of Cr 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , and CaF 2 was found to enhance and favor the crystallizability of wollastonite, quartz formation, and retarded the formation of gehlenite. Cr 2 O 3 and ZrO 2 are much better than CaF 2 in promoting homogeneous nucleation as well as in the growth of the extremely fine-grained microstructure of aluminous pyroxene, wollastonite, quartz, and magnetite with uniform crystal size that is below 50 nm in the glass containing Cr 2 O 3. Mechanical and physical properties, such as microhardness, bending strength, density, and thermal expansion coefficient of the glass have been examined. The results demonstrate that the glass-ceramics have a potential for a wide range of application, such as building materials.

“…Typically, stoneware compositions contain 30 -40 % plastic components (kaolin and clay), 45-55 % fluxing agent (feldspar), and 5 -20 % grog (quartz) [1][2]. Many researchers have studied alternative materials such as granite wastes, fly ash, pyrophyllite, and basalt rock for replacing clay-based ceramic components [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…Additionally, cutting and polishing granitic waste is successfully utilized to produce fly ash interlocking bricks [6]. Among other materials of a similar mineralogy, the studies presented the usage of raw natural granite [21,22], feldspathic sand [23], and the waste derived from the mining of feldspar [24]. Some studies aim to replace the natural feldspar used in batches with different materials such as wollastonite [10].…”

Aplitic Granite Waste as Raw Material for the Production of Outdoor Ceramic Floor Tiles

One of the significant problems in the production of ceramic tiles is the very high consumption of natural resources such as clay, feldspar, and quartz. The possibility of replacing part of the formulation of ceramic batches is of great importance. In this research, the possibility of using aplitic granite waste from dimensional stone production was analyzed in detail. The waste is considered a low-cost substitute for feldspar in Serbia. The milled powdery waste was analytically tested to reveal its chemical and mineralogical contents, particle size distribution, and other important properties. The ceramic tiles containing aplitic granite waste (GW) and GW/raw clay mixture (CGW) were hydraulically pressed, and the ceramic and technological properties determined. This waste can act as a filler while forming, drying, and firing, since the high content of quartz helps to control the shrinkage and acts as a fluxing agent in high temperatures due to its feldspathic nature. The waste was found favorable in the production of ceramic tiles, as the gained values of modulus of rupture and water absorption were 28.68 MPa and 1.33%, respectively. The parameters defined in the series of standards EN ISO 10545 were tested on a semi-industrial probe, determining that this combination of materials (without the addition of quartz) may be efficiently used to produce ceramic floor tiles. The usage of what would otherwise be waste material contributes to sustainable management and environmentally friendly solutions by avoiding landfilling, while at the same time it enabling the conservation of scarce natural feldspar deposits.
