    The influence of coal bottom ash and tincal (boron mineral) additions on the physical and microstructures of ceramic bodies
    Bayca, SU; Batar, T; Sayin, E; Solak, O; Kahraman, B
    In this paper, the influence of coal bottom ash and tincal additions on the physical properties and microstructures of the standard wall tile body composition was investigated. Water absorption, fang strength, dry and fired shrinkage tests of the incorporated ceramic bodies and reference body were done. Microstructures of sintered tiles were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that tincal additions to the ceramic body improved the physical properties of the tiles. As a result, tincal can be used as a flux material in the ceramic bodies due to its favorable effects on the water absorption and fired strength. The results revealed that bottom ash can be used in the ceramic tile body composition. When bottom ash was used in the ceramic industry, environmental hazards of bottom ash are inhibited. Furthermore, bottom ash is transformed to an economic product.

    Production and Characterization of Wall Plaster with Borax and Paper Wastes and Perlite Additives
    Batar, T; Köksal, NS; Yersel, SE
    In this study, a new wall plaster product was generated using 0-5% perlite, 0-2.5% waste paper and 3.5-17.7% waste calcined borax. The optimum ratios for the additives were 3% perlite, 1.5% waste paper and 7.1% waste calcined borax. The new plaster was subjected to mechanical strength and thermal transmittance measurements using TS 825 and TS 12808-3 Turkish standards. Under optimal mixing ratios, the plaster had a thermal conductivity of 0.17 W/m(2)K and a mechanical strength (bending) of 61.44 kg/cm(2) 2K. V. The required standards by TSE 825 are 0.13 W/m(2)K the new product was compared with the existing plasters in the market, it was observed that thermal transmittance and mechanical strength were both increased by 26% and 31%, respectively. Thus, a new environmental-friendly wall plaster product was produced.
