Synopsis

Now in one volume-all the raw materials used in the ceramic and glass industries

A basic understanding of where raw materials come from and how they are processed is critical to attaining consistent raw material batches-an essential factor to maintaining steady production. The solution is Raw Materials for Glass and Ceramics, a complete resource of up-to-date information and analysis on the raw materials used in the glass and ceramic industries.

Raw Materials for Glass and Ceramics presents all classes of materials, the roles they play, their sources and extraction processes, and quality control issues and regulations impacting the industry, as well as:

• A thorough description of the formation and evaluation of raw material deposits and location of the important sources
• Complete analysis of all the raw materials used in the ceramic and glass industries, including natural, processed, recycled, and synthetic materials
• An explanation of the raw materials industry, including transportation, environmental and health concerns, and quality specifications
