Development of Grogged Ceramic Clay Roofing Tiles for Poultry Housing as an Alternative to Zinc Sheets
ABSTRACT Secondary clay obtained from Bomo, Zaria, Kaduna state was used for this research. Dry samples were fired to produce grog which was crushed and sieved to mesh 20 (840microns). Body composition was formulated with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% additions of grog to the clay body with the different samples sintered to three […]
Development of Glass Ceramics Using Kaolin Processing Waste, Sodalime and Borosilicate Glass Wastes
ABSTRACT The utilization of waste materials to produce a useful product is highly encouraged to avoid its disposal on land fields so as to safeguard the environment. Kaolin waste, soda-lime, and borosilicate glass wastes were used to develop glass-ceramic. The oxides content of the raw materials were determined using the X-Ray Fluorescence machine while the moisture content and […]
Design And Fabrication of A Dual-Purpose Waste Glass Processing Machine
ABSTRACT This research focused on the design and fabrication of a dual-purpose waste glass processing machine, using specific design considerations, design theories, and calculations, to improve the efficiency of processing waste glass. Recycling waste glass plays an important role in the grading and upgrading of waste glass in the environment. The post-consumer waste glass pollutes […]
