Abstract
The industry of ceramic tiles exploits large amounts of natural resources and produces a lot of solid waste, especially porcelain tiles, a product of this industry that involves high technology fabrication. A previous study showed that, if the calcination conditions are respected (1200°C for 2 hours), it is possible to produce new ceramic tiles from the shards of porcelain tiles generated during construction or demolition. This study uses techniques such as X-Ray Fluorescence, X-Ray Diffraction and Scanning Electronic Microscopy in order to investigate the microstructural phenomena that allow the new materials’ sintering.
