Halushka Y. Insulating construction ceramic materials with organized pore structure for energy-saving civil engineering

Object - the processes of structure forming of the porous insulating construction ceramics with improved performance properties. The purpose: The elaboration of technology of porous-hollow heat insulating construction building ceramics with improved thermal and mechanical properties on the basis of cheap polymineral clay raw materials. Research methods: simulation 3D modeling; chemical, X-ray phase, thermal analysis, petrography; gamma spectroscopy; microscopy; methods of mathematical statistics. Theoretical and practical results: Scientific and technological bases of development of heat-efficient wall ceramics with the use of 3D-modeling are created; resource- and energy-saving technology for the manufacture of products based on non-deficient loams and industrial waste with a reduced firing cycle is developed. Scientific novelty of work results. A possibility was theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed to produce insulating construction ceramic materials with organized pore structure possessing improved thermal efficiency and mechanical strength on the basis of cheap clay and technogenic raw materials. Implementation degree. The developed technology has passed practical testing at Plinfa Company (Kharkiv) with a positive results; the results of work have been implemented in academic process at Department of Ceramics, Refractories, Glass and Enamels, NTU "KhPI". Scope of use. Scientific and theoretical developments are intended for research in the field of ceramic materials science; scientific and technological - for to improve the products of domestic enterprises for the manufacture of wall building ceramics.
