The book presents all the methods of testing ceramic raw materials and products made from ceramic materials: first of all, the methods of testing of the properties of clay are discussed; further, determination of its chemical and mineral composition is described followed by methods for testing the key characteristics of a ceramic body and slurry, and, finally, a detailed description of methodologies for determining the performance of construction and fine ceramic products is presented. This textbook is primarily intended for English-speaking students studying the modules Chemical Technology of Ceramic Materials, Synthesis of High-Temperature Materials, Building and Fine Ceramics and Refractory and Modern Ceramics at KTU Faculty of Chemical Technology. It will also be beneficial to students of other KTU faculties or any other universities whose programs deal with the production and processing of building materials. |
