Objective
This project involves the research, development and operational experimentation of an innovative clean technology for manufacturing double-fired ceramic tiles which enormously reduces the environmental impact due to the liquid emissions during the glazing phase and the gas emissions during the firing phase. The glazing process being considered does not require the use of water or liquid vehicles as it will be a dry glazing process which will avoid any emission of liquid waste. The project expects to eliminate the vetrifying components and the liquid vehicles that are in current use (water, polyglycolic compounds, ethylenic compounds, propyl compounds, fluidizing substances). Low-temperature and low-emission thermosetting and aggregating resins will be used in place of the vetrifying mixtures. The agglomerating function of these resins will permit, as was stated before, the elimination of the use of liquid vehicles currently in use during the glazing phase, thus creating a final product in a solid state (atomozed).
