Developing Novel Materials to Increase Opacity Performance of the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 System in Ceramic Coatings
Abstract
The era we live in is the age of rapid changes. Turkey is a developing country with increasing needs. As in other countries, the main axis of development inevitably constitutes the construction sector. This motivation is a common for the ceramic industry; however it should be focused on the whitening agents used on ceramic tiles with the view of their contribution on the cost including imported ingredients. In this study, a novel whitening agent is formulated by introducing native raw material compositions to reduce costs in ceramic tiles production. To characterize the whitening agent, chemical structures of the raw materials were firstly carried out with particle size, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses. Zircon, aluminum and silicon oxide were obtained based on the regarding chemical analyzes in the content of introduced raw materials. In addition, the XRD analysis reveals that grain sizes of zircon, corundum, spinel (Li, Ti), baddeleyite and gibbsite are in between 1.50-2.00 µm.
