“…The test results for the ceramic characterization of CR1, CR2 and TF clays have been consolidated in Figure 5 . The linear shrinkage is associated with the progressive sintering effect up to 1120 °C; greater shrinkage also results in increased mechanical properties [ 42 ]. Therefore, TF clay showed the highest percentage up to 6.5%.…”

“…The effects of the incorporation of nano-alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and nano-silica (SiO 2 ) in porcelain stoneware tiles were evaluated by De la Garza et al [ 42 ]. The tiles were manufactured with concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 wt.% of Al 2 O 3 and SiO 2 nanoparticles with an average particle size between 20–30 nm.…”

“…However, some research on ceramic tiles has explored alternatives to improve the mechanical properties of the ceramic body, such as flexural strength by adding nanoparticles of Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , PbO, and Fe 2 O 3 [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. In our study, we have incorporated SiO 2 nanoparticles because of their widespread use in previous studies [ 40 , 42 ]. Additionally, three types of nanoparticles (Ag 2 O, CuFe 2 O 4 , and Fe 3 O 4 ) were included owing to their excellent apparent thermal conductivity and limited utilization in prior studies.…”

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.

“…In this sense, many studies have focused on the ratios of Na 2 O/K 2 O, MgO/CaO, and SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 . As a result of these studies, it has been determined that the vitrification rate strongly depends on the amounts and/or ratios of these factors in the starting composition [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

This study focuses on optimizing the composition and firing temperature of porcelain tiles using statistical analysis techniques. A full factorial design, including model adequacy checking, analysis of variance, Pareto charts, interaction plots, regression model, and response optimizer is employed. The key factors were the Seger ratios of SiO2/Al2O3, Na2O/K2O, MgO/CaO, and firing temperature. The response variables investigated were bulk density, water absorption, linear shrinkage, coefficient of thermal expansion (at 500 °C), and strength. The statistical analysis revealed highly significant results, which were further validated, confirming their reliability for practical use in the production of porcelain tiles. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing Seger formulas and properties of typical raw materials to accurately predict the final properties of ceramic tiles. By employing SiO2/Al2O3 = 5.2, Na2O/K2O = 1.50, MgO/CaO = 3.0, and firing temperature of 1180 °C, optimized properties, such as maximum strength, maximum bulk density, and minimum water absorption, was achieved with a composite desirability of 0.9821.
