Volume Coloring of Wall Ceramics with Additives of Associated Products from Ferrosilicomanganese Production

It has been presented the results of studies on the volumetric coloring of wall ceramic materials with the addition of manganese concentrate (a by-product of the production of ferrosilicomanganese). The chemical, granulometric, mineral compositions of clay raw materials, representing the factory charge for the production of ceramic bricks, and manganese concentrate are given. The compositions of ceramic mixtures with different content of the technogenic coloring component and the technique for preparing samples by soft molding from plastics are considered. The dependences of the influence of the amount of manganese concentrate additive on the molding, drying and firing properties of clay mass have been established. An increase in the content of the coloring technogenic additive leads to a decrease in the average density and compressive strength of the samples, while there is a significant increase in their water absorption, which indicates a negative effect of the additive in an amount of more than 10% on the sintering processes during ceramic firing. It has been established that the introduction of manganese concentrate into the factory charge leads to the coloration of fired samples in various shades of brown. The optimal composition of the charge based on clay raw materials and by-products of the production of ferrosilicomanganese was determined to obtain volume-colored ceramic samples with a strength of 17–18 MPa by firing at 1030^оC. The main directions for further research are formulated.
