Felsite in Ceramic Materials Production

Abstract:

This project is devoted to the study of the felsite properties for the purpose of its application in the production of various types of fine ceramics: ceramic tiles, acid-resistant tiles, aluminosilicate proppants, etc. Felsite is a mixture of quartz (about 40%) and feldspars. In the compositions of ceramic masses, felsite can play the role of both nonplastic due to the quartz content, and flux due to the content of feldspars, that reduces the amount of mixture components. When felsite is fired, the melt appears at a temperature above 950°C. The felsite has a sintering effect when fired at a temperature of 1000°C. Glass phase enriched with SiO₂ ensures the absence of material deformation after firing. Also, glassy phase provides high-acid and chemical resistance of materials based on it. In addition, after firing above 1150°C, felsite has a light color, which is a great advantage in comparing it as a melt with other iron-alkali-containing materials. Ceramics based on felsite does not require the use of opacified glazes.
