    Glass-ceramic foams produced from zeolite-poor rock (Tokaj)
    (Akademiai Kiado ZRt., 2023) Ibrahim, Jamal Eldin F. M.; Tihtih, Mohammed; Kurovics, Emese; Şahin, Ethem Ilhan; Gömze, László A.; Kocserha, István
    This study evaluated the possibility of producing innovative glass-ceramic foams from zeolite-poor rock (Tokaj, Hungary) using alkali-activation and reactive sintering techniques. The composition and morphology of the samples were studied using X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscope, and computed tomography techniques. The influence of various sintering temperatures on glass-ceramic foams was examined. It has been observed that zeolite-poor rock has a self-foaming capability. The heat treatment temperature affects the pore size and distribution as well as the technical characteristics of the obtained samples. The resulting glass-ceramic foams possess moderate thermal conductivity ranging from 0.11 to 0.17 W mK-1 and good compressive strength (1.5-4.4 MPa). The produced samples might be utilized for thermal insulation, which would have both economic and environmental advantages. © 2022 The Author(s).

    Sustainable zeolitic tuff incorporating tea waste fired ceramic bricks: Development and investigation
    (Elsevier, 2023) Ibrahim, Jamal Eldin F. M.; Tihtih, Mohammed; Sahin, Ethem Ilhan; Basyooni, Mohamed A.; Kocserha, Istvan
    The present research examines the development of new porous ceramic bricks from Hungarian zeolitic tuff and tea waste as building materials. Recycling waste materials as a pore-forming agent in brick-making is a promising solution to environmental and economic challenges. Several zeolitic tuff/tea waste admixtures were milled in the planetary ball milling to produce homogenous powders. The substitution ratios were maintained as 0 %, 2 %, 4 %, 6 %, 8 %, 10 %, and 12 % by wt of zeolitic tuff. The ceramic disks were produced from the prepared mixtures via dry pressing and sintering at various temperatures (950-1250 degrees C) for consolidation. The produced bricks were investigated based on bulk density, apparent porosity, water absorption, volume shrinkage, thermal conductivity and compressive strength, as well as mineralogical, chemical, and morphological studies. The mineralogical determination confirms the existence of clinoptilolite, montmorillonite, cristobalite and illite as major phases in zeolite tuff. The experimental results reveal that the addition of tea waste produces hybrid bricks with better thermal insulation (0.17-0.504 W/m K), lighter weight (1.37-1.81 g/cm3), and lower compressive strength (5.52-34.4 MPa). However, the compressive strength value still lies within the range required by the standards. The production of burned bricks containing up to 10 wt% tea waste is viable without causing major changes in their technical characteristics. Developing new porous bricks using waste materials can help expand the application of sustainable and cost-effective insulation bricks in the construction industry.
