Based on the current clay potential map of Germany, all clay resource types important for the clay brick and tile industry are characterized in respect of their key geological and...
At the latest by the end of the first phase of use, the decision must be taken whether a building material should be reused, recycled for a new application or ultimately has to be disposed of. Which...
With the help of circulation fans, an improvement in convective heat transfer in tunnel kilns can be achieved relatively easily. Thanks to the higher heat transfer, a considerable amount of fossil...
Conventional sound insulation test facilities have considerable disadvantages, which lead to long waiting times for the client. Only six to eight wall tests per year can be conducted in the sound...
During firing of brick products, factors such as expansion and shrinkage processes, endothermic and exothermic reactions as well as mineral phase transformations play a significant role. In the course...
To address such a comprehensive subject in a talk, first the requirements for a certain product property are described. To answer the question of what pit clay or additive is suitable for what...
Today’s production processes must be extremely flexible and efficient. In the process for the manufacture of ceramic building materials this means in concrete terms making a large number of...
This paper delves into the mechanisms of action between the physical properties and the frost resistance of structural clay products. By reason of their outdoor application range, such structural clay...
