ceramic tile

The invention is related to the ceramic , more especially ceramic masses for the manufacturing of ceramic Granitegranite application. A sintered shard and water absorption of less than 0.1% define porcelain tile for industrial application. The free handbook describes the closest analogy, SACMI ceramic mass: “From technology through machines to kilns for SACMI tile. Technological comments on the production of ceramic tiles, 1986, p. VI-12. The difficulty of its preparation resulting from multicomponents is a drawback of this ceramic mass.

Selected as a prototype, SACMI ceramic mass is the closest approximation; it is explained in the open Manual: “From technology through machinery to kilns for SAC MI tile. Technological comments on the production of ceramic tiles, 1986, p. VI-12. The specified ceramic mass consists of clay (20–40 wt%), Feldspar (20–40 wt%), quartz sand (0–10 wt%), and enhanced kaolin (10–15 wt%). The great expense of the composition because of the high percentage of pricey enhanced kaolin and the high energy intensity of the process of generating the final product due to the high firing temperature (1215–1220 °C) are drawbacks of this composition.

By means of more reasonably priced and cheaper constituent components, which simultaneously lower the firing temperature, the technical result of the present invention is to lower the cost of ceramic mass and finished products from it as well as reduce the energy intensity of the process of obtaining finished products. The proposed ceramic mass for the fabrication of ceramic granite comprises wt.% raw kaolin of the Poletaevsky deposit 23-26; refractory clay Ukrainian 18-20; refractory clay Nizhneuvelskaya 8-10; feldspar 41-44; sand 3-5.

Reducing the firing temperature by using unenriched raw kaolin of the Poletaevsky deposit with a high proportion of alkaline oxides and feldspar – feldspar lowers Maintaining the fundamental technical and aesthetic qualities of the material, the composition of the ceramic mass claimed in the present invention has a lower firing temperature than that of the prototype. Reducing the firing temperature helps to lower energy consumption.

The stated ceramic Mass for Industrial Granite mixture is less expensive considering that the cost of raw kaolin of the Poletaevsky deposit is 5-6 times less than the cost of enhanced kaolin and the cost of Nizhneuvelskaya clay is 2-3 times less than Ukrainian clay. Eliminating the multicomponent composition of the ceramic mass and simplifying the technology for manufacturing finished products also helps to lower the cost of obtaining finished products by means of the proposed composition of the raw materials, which does not call for the inclusion of extra additives.
