Abstract Scope |
In the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, there are seventy industries in the red ceramics segment, in the center-south and center-north poles of the state, with clay being the main raw material for the production of red ceramics. The objective of the work is to characterize the two types of clay from Espírito Santo used in the manufacture of red ceramics that contribute to the development of the sector. For this, the clays were submitted to X-ray diffraction tests, X-ray fluorescence chemical analysis, density, particle size analysis and plasticity. The results show, for example, that the main crystalline phases identified were quartz and kaolinite. It is very important to know the characteristics of clays, as it will be possible to use other raw materials that can lead to an increase in the fluxing oxides in the ceramic mass and, consequently, improve the properties of the final product. |
