The process involved the pressing of prismatic probes (18 MPa) using a
ceramic mass mixed with 0%, 5%, 8%, and 10% ash. The probes were fired at
temperatures between 800° and 1200°C. X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, thermal
analysis (differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis/differential
thermogravimetric analysis), and tests for texture (particle-size analysis), flexural
strength, and linear shrinkage were carried out to characterize the samples. The
process mentioned is based on a small scale production.
