Thermal behaviour of blends kaolin-boehmite and metakaolin-boehmite based-geopolymers: physical and mechanical properties Open
Thermal stability is an essential parameter to consider before using a binder at elevated temperature. This study investigates the effects of boehmite (B) on thermal behaviour and fired characteristics of sodium-based geopolymers respectiv…

Application of augmented simplex‐centroïd mixture design in developing and optimizing new low‐cost microfiltration membranes from clays and cassava peels for bacteria removal Open
The sharp increase in waterborne diseases due to bacterial contamination is limiting the supply of safe water in developing countries. This study focuses on the development and optimization of a low‐cost ceramic membrane based on natural r…

Comparative study of alluvial clay-based stoneware ceramic's properties using cocoa cortex ash and syenite as fluxing agents Open
This study aimed to investigate the influence of cocoa cortex ash (CCA) compare to syenite (SY) on the technological properties of stoneware ceramics. Mixtures of clay powders (EB) and each flux were prepared in ratios of 90/10, 80/20, and…

Characterization of refractory bricks from selected Cameroonian kaolins Open
Three clay materials (codded MY3, KG and KK) from western Cameroon were selected and investigated for the production of refractory bricks. Samples MY3 and KG are kaolinite-rich materials, having clay mineral contents of 88% and 72%, respec…
