The ceramics industry finds itself at the crossroads in selecting a path that would lead towards carbonneutrality within the next 30 years. The energy-intensive firing kilns in each of the ceramic sub-sectorsare inextricably bound to a high level of carbon emissions, as they primarily use natural gas for meetingtheir energy requirements. In this article, light … Weiterlesen …
In this article, the authors discuss the need for improved purity levels of specialty alumina for emergingand developing technical applications. They discuss the impact of the overall purity level of alumina onits properties and how specific impurities or dopants impact specific properties more severe than otherimpurities or dopants. The dielectric loss is given as an … Weiterlesen …
Drying is an important process in the production of sanitaryware, due to the critical issues related tothe process itself and to the importance of the physical time spent in the entire production cycle. Space,manpower for loading and unloading and handling of the ware trucks, parking buffers, time and energyrequired, all are critical and with the … Weiterlesen …
