Wall Ceramics from Zeolite-Bearing Argillaceous Materials

The authors consider various aspects of expanding product range and increasing production volumes of wall ceramics. Physicochemical and technological properties of zeolite-bearing argillaceous materials are considered. It is shown using certain formulas and techniques it is possible to produce wall ceramics meeting contemporary construction requirements imposed on strength, cold resistance, and color range. It is observed that existing reserves of zeolite-bearing argillaceous materials make it possible to significantly expand the list of available minerals for coarse ceramics.
