CHAPTER 9 CERAMIC INDUSTRIES


INTRODUCTION Ceramic industries Greek keramos, 'potter's clay'), originally the art of making pottery now the (clay products or silicates industries) science of manufacturing articles prepared from pliable, earthy materials that are made rigid by exposure to heat. Ceramic materials are nonmetallic, inorganic compounds primarily compounds of oxygen, but also compounds of carbon, nitrogen, boron, and silicon. Ceramic products withstand higher temperatures, resists greater pressures, have superior mechanical properties, posses mechanical properties, possess special electrical characteristics, and can protect against corrosive chemicals.

CHAPTER 9 CERAMIC INDUSTRIES


INTRODUCTION Types of ceramic products: 1. White wares China, earthenware, pottery, porcelain, stoneware, and vitreous ware 2. Refractories - like glass and steel building crucibles, gas fire radiant and kiln linings. 3. Enamels and enameled metal 4. Structural clay products bricks, face brick, terra cotta, sewer pipe, and drain tile 5. Specialized ceramic products

CHAPTER 9 CERAMIC INDUSTRIES


INTRODUCTION 1. WHITE WARES - any of a broad class of ceramic products that are white to off-white in appearance and frequently contain a significant vitreous, or glassy, component. Including products as diverse as fine china dinnerware, lavatory sinks and toilets, dental implants, and spark-plug insulators, whitewares all depend for their utility upon a relatively small set of properties: imperviousness to fluids, low conductivity of electricity, chemical inertness, and an ability to be formed into complex shapes.

CHAPTER 9 CERAMIC INDUSTRIES


INTRODUCTION 2. REFRACTORY material is one that retains its strength at high temperatures. ASTM C71 defines refractories as "non-metallic materials having those chemical and physical properties that make them applicable for structures, or as components of systems, that are exposed to environments above 1,000 F (811 K; 538 C)".[

CHAPTER 10 PORTLAND CEMENTS, CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM COMPOUNDS


INTRODUCTION Cements are used for various purposes, such as binding sand and gravel together with portland cement to form concrete, for uniting the surfaces of various materials, or for coating surfaces to protect them from chemical attack. Portland cement is a material which consist of at least two-thirds by mass of calcium silicates (3CaOSiO2 and 2CaOSiO2), the remainder consisting of aluminium- and iron-containing clinker phases and other compounds. The ratio of CaO to SiO2 shall not be less than 2.0. The magnesium oxide content MgO shall not exceed 5.0% by mass.

USES OF PORTLAND CEMENT Production of concrete Mortars Plasters Grouts

CHAPTER 10 PORTLAND CEMENTS, CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM COMPOUNDS


ECONOMICS OF CEMENT In 2008, the United States consumed 93.6 million metric tons of portland cement, reflecting a -15.2% decrease over 2007 levels. The industry down turn was first linked to the mortgage foreclosure crisis which decreased residential construction spending activity by -18.5% in 2007 and -29.9% in 2008. Cement consumption is dependent on the time of year and prevalent weather conditions. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. cement consumption occurs in the six months between May and October.

CHAPTER 10 PORTLAND CEMENTS, CALCIUM & MAGNESIUM COMPOUNDS


ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Portland cement manufacture can cause environmental impacts at all stages of the process. These include emissions of airborne pollution in the form of dust, gases, noise and vibration when operating machinery and during blasting in quarries, consumption of large quantities of fuel during manufacture, release of CO2 from the raw materials during manufacture, and damage to countryside from quarrying. An independent research effort of AEA Technology to identify critical issues for the cement industry today concluded the most important environment, health and safety performance issues facing the cement industry are atmospheric releases (including greenhouse gas emissions, dioxin, NOx, SO2, and particulates), accidents and worker exposure to dust
