TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of CRT glass recycling in ceramic field using it into a base glaze formulation as substitute of "ceramic frits" was investigated, in two phases, laboratory scale and semi-industrial scale with the technological support of an Italian ceramic glaze producer.

TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art of industrial waste recycling in the ceramic sector is reported, with the focus on review studies related to both ceramic tiles and bricks, and two case studies conducted by the authors with the aim to formulate ceramic bodies using alternative raw materials.

TL;DR: Tests carried out highlighted that the addition of these by-products do not change negatively the main technological properties measured and permit to hypothesize their use to obtain bricks with both insulating and higher mechanical properties using a pore agent forming or silica carrier alternative raw materials, respectively.

TL;DR: The microwave inertization process of asbestos containing waste (ACW) and its recycling in porcelain stoneware tiles, porous single-fired wall tiles and ceramic bricks following industrial manufacture procedure is described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of accessory minerals in the dissolution process of ceramic grade kaolin was discussed in the light of the obtained data, and the results allowed to stress the importance of NaHMP in this process.
