| Abstract |
| The feasibility of utilizing fly ash, a waste inorganic product
obtained by the combustion of coal in boilers of thermal power
plant, was studied for the development of value added glazed
~eramic m~terials like crockery and novelty wares. Progressive
mcorporat1on of fly ash in replacement of silica and potash
feldspar in the standard crockeryware body compositions resulted
in an increase in unfired and fired strengths coupled with
vitrification at 1250°C up to the addition of 30% fly ash. Further
incorporation of fly ash, up to 50%, showed a decrease in fired
strength and increase in water absorption at the same temperature.
Improved stoneware crockery body utilizing 30% fly ash in
the standard body composition was sucessfully produced. |
