A cullet-kaolin ceramic from recycle glass

A series of ceramic based on (x) Cullet – (70-x) Kaolin – (30) Alumina where 10= x = 60 wt% has successfully been prepared by a solid state reaction. The density has been determined by Archimedes principle while the impact energy has been obtained by Izod Impact Test. The permeability coefficient ha...
