Abstract
The effect of metallurgical slag on the drying properties of ceramic bodies is investigated. It is shown experimentally that fine-grain slag makes the raw clay material less sensitive to drying. It is confirmed by means of electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and simultaneous thermal analysis that slag grains possess a highly developed porous surface. As a result some of the water introduced during the formation of ceramic bodies is adsorbed on the surface of the slag grains. It is shown that fine-grain metallurgical slag is an effective thinner in ceramic bodies.
