Abstract

A ceramic material from over 800 years ago has been studied. Ceramic manufacturing processes are classified among inorganic chemical technologies. The problems of ensuring the durability of buildings and reducing the cost of repairs are extremely relevant and due to the amount of industrial, residential, and individual construction. The elemental chemical composition of the material shows an increased calcium content relative to modern construction materials (Ca = 5.90%), which promotes the formation of anorthite (increasing the strength of products); the increased carbon content (C = 14.79) indicates the introduction of fuel into the clay brick. An increased content of fuel in the clay brick promotes uniform sintering in the ceramic sample. An increased iron content (Fe = 2.98) and alkali oxides (R2O = Na2O + K2O = 2.75) facilitates the formation of a vitreous phase at 950°C. Elemental analysis is confirmed by XRD data: the increased calcium content promotes the formation of anorthite. The presence of anorthite, hematite, vitreous phase, and diopside in the studied sample enhances the technical properties of ceramic materials.
