Sensitivity analysis of mathematical models for final product properties: Link to DTG curve
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Compressive strength and water absorption of fired heavy clay products varies with firing temperatures, but not entirely according to linear function, as it is mostly reported in literature. Also, differential thermo-gravimetric ...
Chemometric analysis of the influence of mechanical activation on the mica quality parameters
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The differences in the set of the process parameters measured before and after mica mechanical activation and their influence on the grain size distribution related characteristics have been studied. The modification of ...
Prediction and fuzzy synthetic optimization of process parameters in heavy clay brick production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Many factors influence final clay brick properties, since the raw materials used are highly heterogeneous. Statistical analysis is rarely used, according to literature, but it would improve understanding of the overall ...
Analytical modeling of activation procedure applied in alpha-alumina thermo-mechanical synthesis
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The impact of the mechanical processing parameters on the alumina grain-size distribution affiliated characteristics and on the gamma to alpha phase transformation rate was investigated. The moderation in the alumina samples ...
Influence of different bonding and fluxing agents on the sintering behavior and dielectric properties of steatite ceramic materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The focus of the study was on providing insights into interconnections between sintering and development of the crystalline microstructure, and consequently variations in dielectric behavior of four steatites fabricated ...
Optimization of bentonite clay mechano-chemical activation using artificial neural network modeling
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The properties of seven montmorillonite-rich bentonites of different geological origin were investigated prior and subsequent to mechano-chemical processing in an ultra-centrifugal mill. The objective of the experiment was ...
Optimization of drying through analytical modeling: clays as bonding agents in refractory materials
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The objective of this study was to investigate the clay drying as a unit operation in the refractory materials processing. Two clays that varied in chemical and mineralogical compositions were experimentally tested in a ...
Effects of mechanical-activation and TiO2 addition on the behavior of two-step sintered steatite ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Steatite, as ceramic with composition predominantly resting on magnesium silicate, was produced from economic resources - talc, aluminosilicate clays, and either BaCO3 or feldspar as flux. Titanium dioxide was a doping ...
Optimization of the production process through response surface method: Bricks made of loess
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Loess clays are commonly used to produce bricks. Heavy clays, taken at location near Zrenjanin, Serbia, are used as a representative raw material in this study. The sample, containing about 28% of clay sized particles, is ...
Artificial fly ash based aggregates properties influence on lightweight concrete performances
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The effect of the application of pelletized fly ash based aggregates obtained through different processing techniques on the behavior of lightweight concretes was analyzed. Experimental program implied production of four ...
