Effect of kaolin-alumina ratio on physical and structural properties of ceramic porcelain
Ceramic porcelain was prepared by sintering process at temperature of 850 °C, using minerals such as kaolin (Al2H4O9Si2) and feldspar (Na2OAl2O3•6SiO2) as main raw materials with addition of alumina (Al2O3) and silica (SiO2). This study was focus on the effect of kaolin addition and alumina reductio...
