Chemistry

 

Section "Chemistry" carries out investigations, laboratory tests, analyses and ceramic raw materials certification.

 

Section "Chemistry" manages the chemical laboratory and carries out:

 

  • chemical, mineralogical, thermal, particle size, archaeometric analyses
  • microscopy
  • determination of plasticity
  • vitrification diagrams

The results obtained are utilized for the following purposes:

  • characterization of raw materials
  • verification of the suitability for the different applications
  • verification of homogeneity, purity, compositional uniformity, etc.
  • achievement of data for the development of new bodies

 

Section "Chemistry" draws up reports including chemical-physical-ceramic characterization of raw materials, providing also indications about their use, effects and behaviour during firing, etc.
