AB  - The present study analyses the usage possibility of the 7
raw kaolinitic clays from Serbia. The characterization of
raw materials is done by using instrumental techniques to
determine chemical and mineralogical compositions, particle
size distribution and behavior during firing (changes in
mass, temperature of the system and dimensions). Additionally,
refractoriness is determined for each of the materials.
The samples are shaped by the extrusion process and fired
in a 1000-1250 °C range. The ceramic and technological
characteristics of the fired samples are determined, and
micromorphology is recorded. It is concluded that most of
the tested clays can be used to produce cream-colored
extruded ceramic tiles with water absorption between 0.20
and 5.28 % by firing at 1250 °C. The majority of the samples
can be used as ceramic tiles for flooring purposes after
firing at 1200 °C. Additionally, all samples are found suitable
for special purpose roofing tiles production after firing
at 1100 °C.

AB  - Phyllosilicate mineral pyrophyllite is predominantly used in the ceramic industry because it exhibits high refractoriness. Due to its thermal transformation into mullite, pyrophyllite is stable at elevated temperatures, making it a suitable mineral additive for refractory non-shaped materials and various ceramic shaped products. In this study, pyrophyllite is employed as 50 % clay replacement in the ceramics and up to 30 % cement replacement in mortars. Physico-mechanical properties were investigated. The firing shrinkage in the ceramics treated at 1200°C was reduced by pyrophyllite addition. Pyrophyllite acted as additional pozzolana during cement hydration. Within the microstructure, it formed micro-reinforcement in the shape of crystalline folia, which improves the mechanical properties of ordinary Portland cement, high aluminate cement, and blended cement mortars. The investigation proved the efficiency and suitability of pyrophyllite employed as a substitution for clay in ceramics and a cement replacement in mortars.

AB  - In this paper, the main subject concerns comparing different techniques to prepare raw clay samples for energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF). Three kinds of sample preparation procedures are examined,such as loose powder, pressed pellet, and fired pressed pellet. The fired pressed pellet approach was observed as a part of universal sample preparation for physic, mechanical, and instrumental analysis, which has not been previously tested as a solution in chemical analysis by the EDXRF method. The observed sample preparation techniques were compared by calculating the parameters of validation (recoveries, limit of detection-LOD, limit of quantification - LOQ, precision, and expanded uncertainties of measurements) of 11 elements (Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Ti, P, Mn, and S) using 15 certified reference materials (CRMs). Calibration curves were created and evaluated using 30 reference materials (RM) for all three approaches. Results proved that the fired pressed pellet is the most practical and precise approach for sample preparation of raw clays.

AB  - One of the significant problems in the production of ceramic tiles is the very high consump-tion 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.

AB  - The industrial raw material compositions in brick
or tile production are normally adapting from time to time
with novel clays. The proper raw material change must be
based on the reliable raw material characterization tests.
Regardless to the fact that commonly used (Bigot, Muller-
Biehl, Ratzenberger, Piltz, Hermansons, etc.) drying
sensitivity criterions allow the comparison of different raw
materials they are not related with the mineral composition
and mechanical nature of clays. Besides these are timedemanding
tests. The X-ray characterization of raw
material is reliable only when orientated samples are
prepared. In other cases, it is necessary to have additional
characterization test such as thermo-differential (DTA) and
thermo-gravimetric (TG) analysis in order to confirm the
presence or absence of individual clay minerals. The
quantity of the interlayer water content present in clays is
in direct correlation with the mineralogical composition
and the clay type. This effect can be easily qualified on the
DTA/TG curves. This was a trigger for establishing the
novel rapid drying sensitivity criteria. The analysis of
different raw materials has confirmed that the moisture
loss registered on TG curves at 2000C can be used as novel
drying sensitivity criterion. This value is respectively for
insensitive raw materials less than 2.0 while for highly
sensitive one is larger than 2.80. The proposed method is
very simple, rapid and reliable for the application in brick
and tile industry. The second objective of this paper was to
compare the results of the proposed method with the
widely used Bigoth, Ratzenberg and Piltz tests. A good
correlation was found.

AB  - Phyllosilicate mineral pyrophyllite possesses talc’s characteristic softness and crystalline structure, but it also exhibits high refractoriness. Pyrophyllite is predominantly being used in the ceramic materials (tiles, porcelain) as a replacement of quartz, clay or feldspar. Due to its thermal transformation into mullite, pyrophyllite is stable at elevated temperatures. Its ion-exchanging properties are crucial for stabilization of the toxic elements in building materials. In this study pyrophyllite is used as a mineral additive for two types of construction products: traditional ceramic materials and refractory mortars. The experimental samples were prepared using 50 % of pyrophyllite and 50 % of refractory clay, ceramic clay, and carbonate brick clay, respectively. The samples were formed into discs or tiles using the compression method. The following characteristics have been investigated: resistance to firing (900 – 1300°C), carbonate content, plasticity coefficient, dimensional changes after drying at 105°C and upon firing, water absorption, and mechanical strength. Refractory samples were prepared using andalusite as aggregate, ordinary Portland cement and/or high aluminate cement as binder, and pyrophyllite as an additive (10 %, 20 %, and 30 %). Compressive and flexural strength both at normal and at elevated temperature were tested on the samples, along with the refractoriness. The changes that pyrophyllite addition brings to the material’s mineral composition, microstructure, as well as to bonding/sintering mechanisms were monitored using instrumental techniques (DTA, TGA, XRD). The aim of the investigation was to prove potential suitability of pyrophyllite as efficient and sustainable resource for the production of ceramic and refractory materials.

AB  - The usage possibility of 19 composites of raw refractory clays from Serbia containing approximately 53.29% of SiO2 and 26.73% of Al2O3 is presented. The sum of fluxing oxides was 57.74%, while these materials contained 32% of quartz, 29% of kaolinite and 26% of illite–mica. Dilatometry tests revealed a sudden shrinkage with the peak at approximately 1115 °C, owing to the formation of mullite. The refractoriness was in the range of 1581–1718 °C, which classifies the composites from low- to high-duty refractories. Based on correlation analysis, the refractoriness mostly depended on the content of alumina. The lightness of the fired test pieces was lower after firing when compared to the dry samples, and it decreased with the firing temperature from reddish to grayish. The study presents a novel attempt to define all the necessary properties of raw refractory clays and products fired at the 1100–1300 °C range on a laboratory level. Most of these clays can be used as natural refractory materials for ceramic and glass furnace lining. The organic matter in some of the samples influences negatively the fast-firing process.

AB  - Geopolymerization was investigated as an alternative to traditional ceramic products by developing a more sustainable approach that avoids thermal treatment. The study presents the first known alkali-activation of the raw clay and waste clay brick mixture using the solid to liquid ratios of 2.33 and 2.78. Several experimental sets were prepared to harden under varying conditions (2–4 days drying in 60 °C–70 °C and 3 h steam-curing). Non-activated and activated samples were analyzed for their physical and chemical properties after 14, 21, and 28 days. The tile-shaped specimens exhibited better initial drying behavior than the cubes and produced stronger materials with fewer cracks. Pre-curing in steam conditions induced higher flexural strength (13.7 MPa) and water absorption (13.13%) for the geopolymer tiles. The highest Si/Al molar ratio in the amorphous portion of 5.78 induced the best flexural strength. The geopolymerization process showed microstructural changes associated with the appearance of fibrous Na-zeolite nanocrystals. The degree of geopolymerization and zeolite formation was enhanced by steam-curing, but the microstructural stress and heterogeneity induced by the reactions resulted in higher water absorption. Ongoing reactions of amorphization in the bulk material and further crystallization at the surface are documented after 6 months of curing. This first detailed study reveals that the production of geopolymer ceramics from brick waste is possible, but further optimization of the activating solution and curing parameters is required.

AB  - Micro-silica is a highly efficient mineral additive whose role is reflected in improvements of microstructure packing, strength and durability of non-shaped composite building materials such as concrete and mortar. A comparative study of performances of rendering mortars with different quantities of micro silica was conducted. The experimental program included production of reference mortar based on Portland cement and quartz sand (CM) and three mortars with 5, 10, and 15 % addition of micro silica (SCM-5, SCM-10, and SCM-15). The effect that micro silica addition has on the thermal behavior and mechanical properties of mortars was discussed. Hydration mechanisms and thermally induced reactions were studied at temperatures ranging from ambient to 1100 degrees C by differential thermal analysis. The results were supported by X-ray diffraction analysis. The cementing efficiency of micro silica was assessed by cavitation erosion test. The changes in the morphology of mortar samples prior and upon cavitation testing were monitored by means of the scanning electron microscope imagining. It was found that 5 % of superfine micro silica (SCM-5 mortar) has positive effects on mechanical strengths (15 % increase in compressive strength) due to microstructure densification arising from the successive filling of voids by the micro silica. Addition of micro silica also improved the cavitation erosion resistance in comparison with reference cement mortar (SCM-5 showed cavitation velocity as low as 0.09 mg/min). This qualifies mortars with micro silica addition as building materials which can be safely employed in potential hydro-demolition environment.

AB  - This study analyzed the last 20 years' data available on power plant coal ashes used in clay brick production. The statistical analysis has been carried out for a total of 302 cases based on the relevant parameters reported in the literature. The chemical composition of the clays and coal ashes, percentage incorporation and maximum particle size of ash, size of fired samples, peak firing temperature, and the corresponding soaking time were selected as inputs for modeling. The product characteristics i.e. open porosity, water absorption, and compressive strength was taken as output parameters. An artificial neural network model has been developed and showed a satisfactory fit to experimental data and predicted the observed output variables with the overall coefficient of determination (r(2)) of 0.972 during the training period. Besides, the reduced chi-square, mean bias error, root mean square error, and mean percentage error were utilized to check the correctness of the obtained model, which proved the network generalization capability. The sensitivity analysis of the model suggested that the quantity of Na2O coming from brick clays, the percentages of SiO2 and K2O coming from ashes, and MgO coming from clays were the most influential parameters in descending order for the ash-clay composite bricks' quality, mostly owing to the influence of fluxes during firing.

AB  - In this study, an optimal mixture of loess brick clays and waste coal dust in laboratory hollow blocks production is determined with the aim of promoting sustainable development in terms of saving resources and energy. The novelty of the work lies in the first-time utilization of waste coal dust in combination with loess soil brick-making thus bolstering European effort on waste utilization. The mentioned is also in line with UN sustainable development goals, SDG 12 and 9. The chemical and mineralogical contents of the clays were obtained using various chemical characterization methods, and thermal behavior by using dilatometry and simultaneous DSC/TG analysis. The important ceramic and technological characteristics of the extruded brick clay and waste coal dust composite samples during molding, drying, and firing were obtained. The chosen mixture of 70 % calcareous clay and 30 % plastic clay to 3 % of high-calorie waste coal dust is found optimal. Industrial-scale optimal blocks (250x190x190 mm(3)) with 60 % of vertical voids were fired in a tunnel kiln, and the firing regime was recorded. It is determined that the regime must be corrected in the firing and cooling zone since the differences measured by thermo-couples were up to 180 degrees C. The industrial prototype was found to be of satisfactory quality meeting the requirements of water absorption and compressive strength as per European and other international standards. The study was first of a kind detailed characterization of the industrial size bricks encompassing waste coal dust and loess brick clays, with the emphasis on the usability in the industry, and additionally recording and correcting of the firing regime in a tunnel kiln. The product is recyclable and can be disposed of safely after the end of life.

AB  - This study presents the 51 mixtures of ceramic clays characterized by using XRF, XRD, granulometry, and dilatometry analyses. After firing in a 1000-1250 °C range, water absorption (WA) according to EN standards by boiling in water, under vacuum, and by 24 h soaking is determined. The results indicated that there was a high and statistically significant correlation between the standard methods, but the testing under vacuum gave the highest saturation of the samples fired at 1200 °C and 1250 °C. It is determined that these illitic-kaolinitic clays can be used to produce floor ceramic tiles belonging to the BIIa group (water absorption between 3% and 6%). The study also aimed to reveal which method of WA determination is suitable to read the sintering interval from the gresification diagrams, which is compared to the beginning of sintering as read from dilatometry curves.

AB  - This research studies the effects of composition and granulometry analysis of 139 heavy clays on the important characteristics of wet and adobe clay bricks. ANN models were obtained with high prediction accuracy in training cycles (r(2)): 0.580-0.907. Standard score analysis (SS) is performed to evaluate the optimal content of raw materials to gain adobe bricks. Optimal macro-oxides content was 53-66% SiO2, 4.6-7.5% Fe2O3, 12.5-18.2% Al2O3, 0.9-8.8% CaO, 1.2-3.6% MgO. The optimal quantity of alevrolite-sized particles varied between 46 and 65%, and clay-sized particles contents ranged from 20.4 to 40.6%.

AB  - The optimal outputs of pyrophyllite mechano-chemical activation in an ultra-centrifugal mill performing under different technological conditions were determined by analytical modeling and verified via Artificial Neural Network in order to be employed in the production of cement-based binders. Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis were utilized in assessment of the effect of activation process parameters on the activated pyrophyllite quality. Artificial Neural Network which performed with high prediction accuracy, i.e. 0.914 during the training period, was sufficient for precise prediction of activated pyrophyllite quality in a wide range of processing parameters. The probability of utilization of observed activation products was estimated through interrelation of technological parameters (mesh size sieve, activation period, specific energy consumption) and acquired characteristics of pyrophyllite (grain diameter, specific surface area). The optimal products singled out from each activation sequence were used as mineral additives in the mix-designs of four cement binders (cement replacement portion was 30%). Influence of activated pyrophyllite additions on the cement chemistry, mineral phase compositions and microstructures of the cement binders were monitored by instrumental techniques (DTA/TGA, XRD, SEM). Activated pyrophyllite showed characteristics of pozzolana as it slightly accelerated early stages of hydration, decreased cement hydration energy and increased the quantity of cement mineral alite at later hydration stages. Micron-sized crystalline foila characteristic for mechanically activated pyrophyllite formed micro-reinforcement within cement binder microstructure.

AB  - This experimental study was conducted with an aim to investigate the effect of the elevated temperature on the mineral phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of the thermal insulation lightweight concretes. The first group of experimental concretes was based on the expanded vermiculite and expanded perlite used as lightweight aggregates (in 65 wt%) in combination with either ordinary Portland cement or refractory calcium aluminate cement. The mix-design of the second group of concretes comprised standard quartz aggregate, vermiculite or perlite as aggregate replacement (25 wt%) and binder (PC or CAC). A total of 10 concrete mix-designs were fabricated in form of 40x40x160 mm samples which were submitted to heat-treatment at 400 degrees, 600 degrees, 800 degrees and 1000 degrees C upon standard 28-days period of curing and hardening. The changes in crystallinity and mineral phase composition induced by temperature were monitored by X-ray diffraction technique. Microstructural visualizations of the non-fired and fired concrete samples were conducted by scanning electron microscopy accompanied with EDX analysis. The results indicated that despite the decrease in compressive strengths upon firing, investigated lightweight concretes can be categorized both as thermal insulators and structural materials.

AB  - The general method for industrial chamber dryer optimization was reported in this paper. The first step in finding the most suitable drying regime is to characterized the clay raw material, especially its water loss at 2000C and to determine the critical drying rate inside the specially constructed laboratory dryer. These data provides us information if the product or the dryer is the bottleneck for the optimisation. If the optimization is justified geometry of the dryer, air mass flows, temperature, and humidity profiles inside the dryer as well as initial water content in the drying material, initial temperature of the products and the load of the dryer are required. Some of the previously mentioned data are only used to check if the chamber dryer is working properly, while the others are used as the initial parameters necessary for software simulation. In this paper two models for calculating the optimal drying parameters were used. The first model was developed from the comprehensive theory of the moisture migration during isothermal drying. The calculation software for setting up the non - isothermal drying regimes was reported in our previous papers. It is important to say that this model was not able to adequately predict the temperature raise within the drying products. In order to simulate the raise of the temperature of the roofing tiles during drying the second model was used. This simple receding drying front model was firstly reported by Kitcher. If both models are used simultaneously it is possible to calculate air temperatures, product temperature, absolute and relative humidity of the drying air, moisture content of the product, drying rate etc ... It is important to mention that this approach can lead to the recommendations for changes inside the dryer before an optimized situation is achieved. One example of such situations is described in this paper in details.

AB  - Mineral additives are extensively applied as cement replacement materials in both construction concrete and mortar. Fly ash is one of the most commonly utilized additives which improve Theological properties, as well as thermal and mechanical behavior of mortar, and as such it has been widely investigated. This industrial byproduct comprises heavy metals in its composition; therefore further research is needed to optimize its effective dosage. Moreover, certain sorptive clays, such as natural zeolite and bentonite, can prevent migration of toxic elements from fly ash by immobilizing them in their structure. Ten experimental mortars are prepared with Portland cement, river sand and addition of fly ash, zeolite and/or bentonite in accordance with chemometric experimental design rules. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of mineral additives on thermal and mechanical performances of mortar. Thermal characteristics were monitored via dilatometric analysis and DTA method. Principal component analysis was used on the results of physico-mechanical testing (workability, bulk density, water absorption, shrinkage, compressive and flexural strength) to enable the divisions of the observed samples into groups in the factor space. The performance of Artificial Neural Network was compared with the experimental data in order to develop rapid and accurate method for prediction of mechanical parameters of mortar. The ANN model showed high overall prediction accuracy (r(2) = 0.989, during training cycle). The test results indicate that incorporation of the mineral additives gave cost effective mortars with sufficiently good properties. However, tools of analytical modeling highlighted mortar with zeolite and fly ash as the optimal composition regarding its mechanical performance.

AB  - Drying is one of the most important steps in the production process of masonry units. In order to prevent the formation of cracks during drying information's about the moisture migration rate variability as well as the material strength variability through drying are necessary. The main goal of this paper was to find a solution how to prevent the crack formation at the beginning (during the first hour) of the drying for the drying sensitive illite raw material. The first step was to record a series of isothermal Deff - MR curves at different drying air temperatures and constant drying air velocity and humidity. As it was already reported all moisture transport mechanisms during isothermal drying are visible on those curves. Characteristic spots registered on these curves were then transposed on the experimentally registered figure material strength us moisture content. It was found that the material strength for the cracked masonry units at the beginning of drying was around 0.09 MPa and that the time of cracking was near the characteristic spot B. Registered material strength and the crack time position (spot B) has additionally confirmed that the drying sensitivity of the raw material are obviously related with the present clay mineral constituents structure and the initial moisture content of the green heavy clay units. Using the Deff values registered for each experiment in the spot B we were able to calculate the maximal moisture transport rate and consequently the proper drying air parameters which are safe and which will not initialize the formation of the cracks at the beginning of the drying.

AB  - Mineralni dodaci se ekstenzivno koriste kao zamena za cement u građevinskim betonima i malterima. Leteći pepeo je jedan od najčešće primenjivanih dodataka koji unapređuje reološka, mehanička i termička svojstva materijala.

U ovom radu eksperimentalno su ispitana tri različita maltera pripremljena na bazi Portland cementa, rečnog peska i kombinacije mineralnih dodataka - letećeg pepela, zeolita i bentonita. Malter M1 sadržao je sva tri dodatka u odnosu 1:1:1, malter M2 je sadržao zeolit i bentonit u odnosu 1:2, dok je odnos zeolita i bentonita u malteru M3 bio 2:1. Cilj istraživanja je bio da se ispita uticaj mineralnih dodataka na fizičko-hemijska, termička i mehanička svojstva maltera.
