Use Of Alternative Pegmatite İn The Floor Tile And Glazed Porcelain Tile Body Formulations
Abstract :
In this study, pegmatite brought from Bilecik region was used in the floor tile and glazed porcelain tile bodies instead of feldspar. Distance between Çine and Bozuyuk is longer than Bilecik and Bozuyuk. Therefore, the short-local haul was carried out. In addition, 3 different pegmatite from Bilecik region was mixed for preparation new recipes. Feldspar from Çine was completely removed from the standard glazed porcelain body and partially reduced in standard floor tile body. However, pegmatite from Bilecik region was increased both floor and porcelain tile bodies. For preparation of the recipes, R D works has been done considering 3-component phase diagram. The effects of pegmatite from Bilecik region on sintering, water absorption, colour variation and deformation of prepared compositions and the optimum entry to recipes identified according to analysis result. As a result of the studies, recipe costs decreased with pegmatite from Bilecik region and CO2 emission reduced that was because of transporting decreased.
