Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of boric acid and lithium carbonate on microstructure and sintering characteristics of wall tile after firing. Amount of Li2 (CO3) (0.1-0.3-0.6- 0.9-1.2-4 wt.%) were added in wall tile corresponding to each constant amount of added of H3BO3 (0.1-0.3-0.6-0.9-1.2-2 wt.%). All samples were fired in 1135 0C 35 minutes in an industrial fast firing kiln. Dry strength, fired strength, water absorption and colorimeter values of all samples were determined after firing. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, optical dilatometer measurements were performed in order to determine the microstructure and melting temperature for prescribed purpose (1-2-7-8-11-32-37). Standard (1) and alternative (8) receipe’s thermogravimetric and diferantial thermal analyses were performed. 37 (2% H3BO3 + 4% Li2 (CO3) recipe’s sintering starting temperature was 984 0C. In the recipe 8 (0.3% H3BO3 + 0.1% Li2(CO3) is an alternative to the standard wall tile, which can be used with higher strength values.
