Firing behavior of ceramic slips with/ without the introduction of different ceramic waste materials in the recipe

This proposal is aimed at monitor the high temperature evolution of ceramic slip with and without the addition of ceramic waste materials by in-situ X-ray Powder Diffraction technique. Initially, the ceramic waste materials effect on the reaction scheme will be performed with an “in ramp” from RT to 1200°C. Then the kinetic of some reactions like quartz dissolution, and mullite and glass formation will be observed by isotherms at three temperature of interest (1100, 1150 and 1200°C). These results will be important to clarify the mechanism at the basis of our promising ex-situ results on the introduction of these waste materials for a more sustainable ceramic.
