Abstract :
Fly ash from brown coal (70 wt.%) and stoneware clay (30 wt.%) were used for the dry pressed ceramic tiles (according to EN 14411) raw materials mixture. The effects of fly ash milling and pentasodium triphosphate addition as a deflocculant and fluxing agent on the properties of green body (flexural strength, bulk density) and fired body (EN ISO 10545—water absorption, bulk density, true density, apparent porosity, flexural strength, frost resistance) were studied and explained as a function of the firing temperature (1000–1150 °C). Fly ash milling (corresponding to 5 wt.% residue of fly ash grains on 0.063 mm sieve) increased the sintering abilities of the fly ash–clay body. A similar effect was achieved by 1.3 wt.% pentasodium triphosphate (PST) addition with an increase in green body flexural strength and a decrease in water content of the granulate. Fly ash–clay bodies can be frost resistant with water absorption above 10% due to positive pore size distribution, which were examined using the high-pressure mercury porosimetry method.
