Hematite nucleation and growth in the firing of carbonate-rich clay for pottery production
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of iron-bearing phases in the firing of carbonate-rich illite and chlorite clay is described, and the authors show that hematite nucleates and grows in specific micro-domains located in former chlorite flakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of waste glass to enhance physical–mechanical properties of fired clay brick
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the enhancement of physical-mechanical properties of fired clay bricks by incorporating waste glass in order to reduce the firing temperature and found that the incorporation of up to 10% of waste glass to clay bricks and fired at the temperatures of 900-1000°C enhanced the properties of the fired clay brick.

Influence of expanded vermiculite on physical properties and thermal conductivity of clay bricks
TL;DR: In this paper, expanded vermiculite (Yildizeli, Sivas, Turkey) was used as an additive into a brick raw material to produce the porosity of the bricks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of the change of firing temperature on microstructure and physical properties of clay bricks from Beruas (Malaysia)
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of firing temperature on the phase changes, microstructure, compressive strength, water absorption and porosity of fired-clay bricks were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of fired clay bricks with pumice additive
TL;DR: In this article, pumice was used as an additive to an earthenware brick to produce the pores, which increased the thermal conductivity of the bricks. But, the use of pumices decreased the fired density of bricks, and the loss on ignition values of fired samples was investigated.

Petrogenesis of metamorphic rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the four divisions of metamorphic grade are defined: very low grade, medium grade, high grade and low grade metamorphism, and the change from low grade to medium grade to high grade.

Carbonate and silicate phase reactions during ceramic firing
Giuseppe Cultrone,Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Eduardo Sebastian,Olga Cazalla,Maria Jose De la Torre +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of clay-rich materials following firing is presented, showing that initial mineralogical differences between two raw materials (one with carbonates and the other without) influence the texture and mineralogical evolution of the ceramics as T increases from 700 to 1100°C.

Keeping your temper under control: materials and the manufacture of Papuan pottery
TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical advantages of using calcite as tempering material for low-fired, unglazed cooking pots were investigated. And an experimental attempt was made to determine whether sea water or salt was used in excavated sherds.

Examination of ancient pottery using the scanning electron microscope
Michael S. Tite,Yannis Maniatis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the internal morphology developed during firing and the extent of vitrification (the glassy phase) and the pore structure were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
