In this paper are presented testing results during process of fast drying at conditions of increased temperature. Three different masonry raw materials were examined using recircular laboratory dryer with air recirculation. ...

Environmental concerns coming from the high energy consumption and CO2 emission associated with cement production have brought about pressures to reduce cement consumption through the use of new materials which can be ...

The influence of the correlation between the drying constant and the diffusion coefficient of the liquid on the behavior of two raw materials for brick manufacturing during their drying process was examined. The test was ...

Cordierite ceramics have an important role in modem technology. Standard raw materials, kaolinite, tale, magnesia, alumina were used in synthesis of cordierite ceramics. Composition of cordierite ceramics is 2MgO-2Al 2O ...

This study focuses on the estimation of residual life of damaged thermal power plant components. The high-pressure turbine housing was chosen as an example of thermal power plant component where, during the years of ...

In this paper, the relationship between the creeping effect and mineralogical characteristics of the applied binding phase for various refractory materials (high-alumina materials, with high or low impurity content, tar ...
