Abstract

The work was done to understand the effects of naturally occurred bone and teeth ash on the physical as well as mechanical properties of bone china products. Both bone and teeth ash was prepared following conventional thermal decomposition method. Locally found cattle bones and tooth was utilized for this purpose. Three different routes of powder or ash preparation i.e. boiling-wood firing, excavating-calcination and boiling-calcination were followed. The calcination temperature was fixed at 950°C-2 hours. After that, density and phase identification of ash was carried out. Finally, bone china product was manufactured using powder compaction and slip casting route. Firing was done at a constant temperature (1150°C-2 hours). Further characterizations (density, percent firing shrinkage, percent water absorption and modulus of rupture measurement) of the sintered samples were evaluated. Boiling-calcination route was found to be the most superlative route. However, enhanced properties of bone china were obtained by the addition of teeth ash.
