This study presents novel characterisation techniques to evaluate the effects of mechanical
activation (MA) on the kaolinite structure. MA was achieved with a planetary ball mill at …

Obtaining low-cost ceramic membranes has attracted great interest in the scientific
community in last years, as it allows to preserve the advantages of ceramic materials while …

Ceramic membranes have limited applications owing to their high manufacturing cost,
despite their advantages such as high mechanical strength, long-term durability, chemical …

As one of nature clay minerals, sepiolite was used in various fields, such as photocatalytic,
refractory, and dye adsorption, but rare in superhydrophobic application. In this study …

In this study, porous kaolin-based ceramic support materials were successfully fabricated
using conventional sintering techniques. The support materials were prepared using two …

Clay minerals are phyllosilicate groups naturally found in soils in all parts of the world. They
have proven to be among the most essential industrial minerals because of their unique …

The aim of this work was to evaluate two kaolin clays from the southern part of Ghana, Assin-
Fosu and Kumasi clays, as source clays for the fabrication of electroporcelain insulators. X …

In this study, porous hydroxyapatite/kaolin-based ceramic (PHKC) materials were fabricated
using beneficiated kaolin, starch as a pore former, and hydroxyapatite (HAp) as potential …

In this work, the suitability of using kaolin–styrofoam, sawdust, and high density polyethylene
to produce porous ceramic bodies was experimentally investigated. The kaolin samples …

Starches are commonly used as a pore generator in the fabrication of low-cost ceramic
membranes, since they are cheap, innocuous, environmentally friendly and easy to burn …
