“…This is conditional on the use of so-called green hydrogen produced using renewable sources of electricity. Outside the conditions of the Czech Republic, the possible alternative to fossil-based firing can be solar furnaces or firing using geothermal energy [35,36].…”

Ceramic tableware, as one of the products of daily use, can be produced in multiple ways. However, they all consume primary raw materials for manufacturing and energy for firing and generate emissions and waste. To assess how different types of production cause an environmental impact, five scenarios were compared using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). In the first step, the energy and material flows from the following scenarios were analysed: factory (FAC), slip casting (PSC), pottery wheel (PW), high energy rate formation technique (HERF) and experimental reconstruction of the ancient technique (ANC). The results related to 1 kg of ceramics were interpreted using the perspective of ecodesign to discuss key parameters that affect environmental impacts. Considering the results in the Climate Change category, the FAC production of 1 kg of ceramics reached 3.64 kg CO2 eq. but the highest impact in this category was caused by low energy efficiency in the specific case of the PSC scenario (8.93 kg CO2 eq.). On the one hand, this paper contributes to the discussion of environmentally friendly tableware, but also serves as a case study that describes the implementation of ecodesign in the ceramic tableware industry as an important field of industrial production in the specific context of the Czech Republic, as a state, which has significant deposits of kaolin.

“…5 Generally, bubbles can be readily generated by boiling, which is a type of phase-change heat transfer and uses the huge latent heat of vaporization of the phase-change working medium to dissipate the high heat ux. [6][7][8] This ubiquitous boiling process has been an economical, attractive and efficient technology for energy utilization, and has found immense use in practical industrial applications, such as power plants, 9 heat exchangers, 10 nuclear reactors, 11 concentrated photovoltaics, 12 and high-power-density electronic device cooling. 13 The overall boiling process consists of the convection, nucleate boiling, transition and lm boiling, [14][15][16][17][18][19] and two key parameters including critical heat ux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) reect the boiling heat transfer capacity.…”
