Preparation, characterization and performance analysis of sustainable kaolinitic clay-based ceramics incorporating ternary blends of steel slag, coal fly ash and waste glass bottle-derived powder

Key Points

• The aim is to develop sustainable ceramics using kaolinitic clay and various waste materials.
• Preparation of ceramic materials from blends of kaolinitic clay, steel slag, coal fly ash, and waste glass powder.
• Sintering process conducted at temperatures between 1000 to 1200 °C.
• Characterization and performance analysis of the produced ceramics.
• Sintered ceramics demonstrated improved properties compared to single-material counterparts.
• The incorporation of waste materials led to sustainable ceramic production, minimizing environmental impact.
• Key performance metrics show enhanced durability and structural integrity.
