abstract = "Comparative review of experimentally determined results of clay properties prepared
according to classical procedures of processing and mechanical activation is presented.
Mechanical activation of the same raw material was carried out in a lab. mill ˝Pulverisette 6˝
(Fritsch, Germany) over the time periods of 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Testing of
technological features relevant for process of forming, drying and firing of heavy clay products
indicates the increase of plasticity and mechanical characteristics of products, lowering of firing
temperatures, and changing of drying sensitivity in the case of mechanically activated clay. The
drying process of the samples made from activated and inactivated clay was examined in detail.
Two mathematical models, based on multi factorial experimental design technique, were set up.
The first decribes the moisture value and the second one the velocity value of the product when
it reaches the critical point during drying, as a function of temperature, relative humidity and the
velocity of the drying medium.",
