Využití jílových surovin pro výrobu keramických materiálů

Abstract

The bachelor thesis is divided in four main chapters. The first part deals with a brief characterization, structure and silicates distribution in some groups. The second main chapter describes the clay minerals, their formation and structure. Four clay minerals are primary used in the ceramic industry (kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite and halloysit). The third part of thesis pursues high-temperature reactions of clay minerals. The minerals go through many mechanical and structural changes during high-temperature reactions. The last chapter describes kaolin (an important material for the production of ceramics) and it briefly describes the various types of ceramics based on clay materials (porcelain, brick products, fire clay etc.).
