Comprehensive approach to the influence of frequently used secondary raw materials on clay bricks quality using mathematical modeling (a systematic review)
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The main idea of this research was to evaluate rice and sunflower hulls, sawdust and their ashes, as additives in clay brick production using mathematical analysis. All available papers, containing the parameters of interest, ...
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 ...
Comparative kinetic study of mechanical activation process of mica and talc for industrial application
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Mica and talc have wide areas of application as a raw material in a number of industrial branches. Mechanically activated mica has specific applications such as: capacitors, insulators, and pearlescent pigments. Talc is ...
Study on the addition effect of metakaolin and mechanically activated kaolin on cement strength and microstructure under different curing conditions
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The effects of thermally (MK) or mechanically activated kaolin (AK) on the compressive strength of mortars and microstructure of pastes were investigated. Mortar mixtures, in which 10%, 20% and 30% of ordinary Portland ...
The influence of nano-silica and barite aggregate on properties of ultra high performance concrete
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2016)
The development of building materials with improved characteristics and their application for increasing structure durability and sustainability is one of the goals in construction sector. The main objective of this paper ...
Compressive strength and microstructure of ordinary cured and autoclaved cement-based composites with mechanically activated kaolins
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The effects of two different mechanically activated kaolins, AKV (61% kaolinite, 14% quartz and 16% mica) and AKG (51.6% kaolinite and 40.6% quartz) on the compressive strength of cement composites and microstructure of ...
The effect of mechano-chemical activation and surface treatment of limestone filler on the properties of construction composites
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The effect of the combined actions of milling and hydrophobization procedures applied in construction composites synthesis was investigated. The mortars were prepared with cement (CEM I 42.5) and calcite aggregate complying ...
The study of thermal behavior of montmorillonite and hydromica brick clays in predicting tunnel kiln firing curve
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The aim of this study was to test montmorillonite and hydromica type of brick clays by using simultaneous thermal analysis and dilatometry in an assessment of the suitability of brick clays to produce building elements. ...
The effect of alternations in mineral additives (zeolite, bentonite, fly ash) on physico-chemical behavior of Portland cement based binders
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Instrumental analyses accompanied by analytical modeling tools were employed to assess physico-chemical changes induced by variations in chemical composition of cementitious composites, i.e. mortar binders. Coal combustion ...
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 ...
