    Influence of Calcination Temperature on Microstructure and Surface Charge of Membrane Top Layers Composed of Zirconia Nanoparticles
    (Springer Verlag, 2015) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    The purpose of the research is to investigate the changes in microstructure and physicochemical characteristics, mainly surface charge (i.e. zeta potential) of zirconia membrane top layer during calcination. Zirconia is one of the most commonly preferred materials for ceramic membrane top layers due to its superior durability. The physicochemical properties of the top layer composed of submicron / nano particles is necessary not only for Donnan exclusion but also for dynamics of membrane fouling. In the present research the possibility of preparation of zirconia top layers with varying surface charge with changing calcination temperature was shown and a correlation between phase transformation and surface charge was determined.

    Chemical Characterization of Cretan Clays for the Design of Restoration Mortars
    (Springer Verlag, 2008) Budak, Meral; Maravelaki-Kalaitzaki, Pagona; Kallithrakas-Kontos, Nikolaos
    Three clays and a marly-limestone from the West of Chania, Crete, fired at temperatures ranging from 200 to 1200°C, were characterized by XRD, FTIR, EDXRF and wet chemical analyses. The aim of this study was to assess the pozzolanic and hydraulic properties of these materials for potential use as binders in the design of restoration mortars. The mineralogical composition of the clays is quartz, illite, calcite, plagioclase, kaolinite and hematite. The identification of larnite and gehlenite in the calcined marly-limestone established it as potential cementious binder. Among the clays, one with low amount of calcite and considerable kaolinite content exhibited the best pozzolanic activity upon heating at 600°C. Therefore, it can be considered as an appropriate material for restoration purposes. It is deduced that the pozzolanic activity of fired clays is greatly dependent on the firing temperature and is enhanced in clays containing low calcite and high kaolinite amounts. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
