Study of the Effect of Feldspar Replacement from a Mixture of Glass / Syenite in Technological Properties of Ceramic Coatings

Obtaining new raw materials for the production of ceramic coating is increasingly highlighted, however, it is desirable to maintain or improve the technological properties of the formed product. Thinking about it, and aiming at the environmental context, the aim of this work is to study the mixing recycled glass effect with syenite, an alternative melting often used in the production of ceramic tiles, in replacing to feldspar. The raw materials were characterized and subsequently the technological properties were determined for the standard formulation and the formulations with 5, 10, 15 and 20% mixing glass / syenite, in replacing to feldspar. The test bodies were prepared by wet, and sintered at different temperatures, with a rate of 30 °C /min and a level of 20 minutes. The results indicate that the mixing glass / syenite has the potential to be used as melting material in the composition of the ceramic mass.
