Fluoride Emission Factors for Ceramic Sanitaryware Kilns
Study shows significant and systematic sensitivity only to fuel type.
Tuncay Dögeroglu and Serap Kara

Ceramic Kiln Fluorine-Gas Emission Measurement
Fluorine is present in low concentrations and is highly reactive, making measurement difficult.
E. Monfort, Mª F. Gazulla, I. Celades, P. Gomez, M. Bigi and M. Tonelli

Microstructure Properties and Product Quality of Strength-Stressed High-Voltage Insulators
The microstructures of various high-voltage porcelains, including a new bauxite porcelain are compared.
Johannes Liebermann

HDI Surface Treatment of Ceramics
The technology has been used for the surface treatment of commercial refractories and Si3N4.
T.N. Tiegs, J.O. Kiggans, F.C. Montgomery, C.A. Blue and M. Velez

No-Cement High-Alumina Self-Flow Castable
