- Authors
Sousa, S. J. G.; Holanda, J. N. F.
- Abstract
The article presents a study that determines the characteristics of thin red clay used in manufacturing wall tile. It explores the method of the study that analyzes and observes the grain-size of thin red clay using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result of the study indicates that important qualities and properties of thin red clay that could be used in the manufacture of wall tiles.
