Recently, there have been many efforts to establish suitable processes for recycling fly ash, which is produced in thermal power plants and which poses serious environmental problems. Use of fly ash as a major ingredient of ceramic tiles can increase fly ash utilization, as well as reduce the cost of raw materials in ceramic tile production. In this study, the effects of fly ash addition on ceramic tile properties such as bending strength, water absorption and porosity were investigated. A manufacturing process of ceramic tile was developed for utilization of fly ash with high carbon content. In this approach, it is important to hold the ceramic tiles at a temperature that is sufficient for carbon oxidation, before the pores supplying oxygen to the inside of the ceramic tile are sealed. Ceramic wall tiles were manufactured with 0-40wt% of fly ash addition. The water absorption and porosity of the fired body were slightly changed with increasing fly ash content up to 30wt% and decreased with greater amounts of fly ash addition. The bending strength of ceramic tile including 10wt% fly ash increased, reaching a level comparable to that of ceramic tile without fly ash.

$TiO_2$ coating ceramic tile for self-cleaning purpose was prepared by the precipitant dropping method using $TiCl_4$ as a precursor. $TiO_2$ film was formed on the ceramic tile by spray-coating technique and heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The size and crystalline structure of $TiO_2$ particles were 15.3 nm and anatase phase. The outdoor exposure tests were conducted and the effects of outdoor exposure test conditions, such as exhaust concentration of contamination materials (test places), the UV light intensity (irradiation direction) and coating amounts of $TiO_2$ on the self-cleaning properties were investigated by the brightness measurements. As a results, self-cleaning property of $TiO_2$ coating tile was affected by the coating amount of $TiO_2$ however, not affected by the UV light intensity included in sun's ray (irradiation direction). $TiO_2$ coating ceramic tile can be utilized for exterior finishing materials because of self-cleaning property of $TiO_2$ coating tile.

Green bodies of earthenware tile were prepared from a mixture of earthenware tile powder and SiC as forming agents by applying a conventional process. Granule powder for tile samples was prepared using the spray drying method with commercial earthenware raw material with a quantity of SiC of 0.3 wt%. The applied pressure was $250kg{\cdot}f/m^2$ and the firing temperature was $1050-1200^{\circ}C$. The effects of the SiC particle size and sintering temperature on the open porosity and total porosity were investigated and the correlative mechanism was also discussed. While total porosity was not significantly changed by decreasing the SiC particle size, the open porosity showed a gradual decrease, which represents an increase of the closed porosity. As the sintering temperature increased, coarsening was made among the pores due to excessive oxidation. The volume shrinkage and bending strength were demonstrated for the sintered tile samples. The sintered bulk density was also measured to determine the weight reduction value.

Selecting a proper tile cement for ceramic tile is important to secure tile construction quality. But there is some ambiguity in standards about evaluating adhesion test such as using KS L 1593 in Lab test but using KS L 1592 in site. So, this study aims to how to select proper tile cement for securing adhesion strength in site considering both tensile and shear adhesion strength of cement for ceramic tile. Also, when doing tensile adhesion test in site, there may be adhesion drop because of cutting tile with grinder. As a result, drop of adhesion strength is about 9% ans quality manager consider these factor and should select proper tile cement.

This study aims to find out the reason that tile adhesive(type III) for ceramic tile does not harden under some conditions especially high humidity even though long curing time. Bonding strength of adhesive between substrate and ceramic tile is evaluated depending on bonding conditions such as substrate kind(concrete, board), bonding material (tile adhesive, tile cement) and curing condition(humidity 50, 70%). Based on the results, this study aimed to establish the quality of tile adhesion strength under the relevant conditions.

Used in the ceramic tile market as a representative building material, relief ceramic tile is showing increased demand recently. Since ceramic tiles are manufactured through a sintering process at over 1,000 ℃ after uniaxial compression molding by loading granule powders into a mold, it is very important to secure the flowability of granular powders in a mold having a relief pattern. In this study, kaolin, silica, and feldspar are used as starting materials to prepare granule powders by a spray dryer process; the surface of the granule powders is subject to hydrophobic treatment with various concentrations of stearic acid. The effect on the flowability of the granular powder according to the change of stearic acid concentration is confirmed by measuring the angle of repose, tap density, and compressibility, and the occurrence of cracks in the green body produced in the mold with the relief pattern is observed. Then, the green body is sintered by a fast firing process, and the water absorption, flexural strength, and durability are evaluated. The surface treatment of the granule powders with stearic acid improves the flowability of the granule powders, leading to a dense microstructure of the sintered body. Finally, the hydrophobic treatment of the granule powders makes it possible to manufacture relief ceramic tiles having a flexural strength of 292 N/cm, a water absorption of 0.91 %, and excellent mechanical durability.

화력발전소에서 발생하는 폐기물인 플라이애시(fly ash)는 현재까지도 상당량이 재활용되지 못하고 매립되어 환경오염 및 막대한 경제적 비용을 발생시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 플라이애시를 건축 도자타일의 점토 원료를 대신함과 동시에 양산 공정을 그대로 적용하여 최종 제품을 제조하였다. 광물형 원료를 사용하여 소지와 1차(엔고베)와 2차(표면) 유약을 제조하고, 신속 소성(fast firing) 과정을 적용하여 도자타일을 제조한 후 도자타일의 성능을 측정하였다. 특히 소지에 첨가되는 석회석 함량을 증가시켜 플라이애시 첨가에 따른 도자타일 성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 플라이애시가 첨가된 다공성 도자타일은 굽힘 강도와 흡수율, 뒤틀림 및 내마모성은 우수하지만 오토클레이브 실험을 통한 내구성은 크게 저하된 것을 확인하였다. 반면에 석회석을 첨가할 경우 도자타일의 흡수율과 뒤틀림 및 수화팽창은 증가하는 결과를 보이지만, 플라이애시가 첨가된 도자타일의 내구성을 크게 향상시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 플라이애시와 석회석 첨가를 통하여 국내 건축기준을 만족하면서 기존 도자타일 성능과 유사한 플라이애시 재활용 건축 도자타일을 제조할 수 있었다.

Ceramic ink-jet printing has become a widespread technology in ceramic tile and ceramicware industries, due to its capability of manufacturing products on demand with various designs. Generally, thermally stable ceramic inks of digital primary colors(cyan, magenta, yellow, black) are required for ink-jet printing of full color image on ceramic tile. Here, we synthesized an aqueous glass-ceramic ink, which is free of Volatile organic compound(VOC) evolution, and investigated its inkjet printability. $CoAl_2O_4$ inorganic pigment and glass frit were dispersed in aqueous solution, and rheological behavior was optimized. The formulated glass-ceramic ink was suitably jetted as single sphere-shaped droplets without satellite drops. After ink-jet printing and firing processes, the printed glass-ceramic ink pattern on glazed ceramic tile was stably maintained without ink spreading phenomena and showed an improved scratch resistance.

Generally, ceramic tiles for building construction are manufactured by dry forming process using granular powders prepared by spray drying process after mixing and grinding of mineral raw materials. In recent years, as the demand for large ceramic tiles with natural texture has increased, the development of granule powders with high packing ratio and excellent flowability has become more important. In this study, ceramic tile granule powders are coated with hydrophobically treated silica nanoparticles. The effects of hydrophobic silica coating on the flowability of granule powders and the strength of the green body are investigated in detail. Silica nanoparticles are hydrophobically treated with GPTMS(3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane), which is an epoxy-based silane coupling agent. As the coating concentration increases, the angle of repose and the compressibility decrease. The tap density and flowability index increase after silica coating treatment. These results indicate that hydrophobic treatment can improve the flowability of the granular powder, and prevent cracking of green body at high pressure molding.
