In order that the data contained in these publications can show us the conceptual path used in the textual engineering of the discourses and the argumentative chain about the archaeological site of Figueira/Areal (Quara?), with the intention of contributing to the understanding of the discursive map built on the researched areas. From the isolation of key concepts one can understand the imbricated framework of statements that make the region and the debate fragile archaeologically. This work will prioritize the notion of representation, be it social or collective, in view of the different issues that permeate the topic addressed, sometimes social representations concerning the struggles of representation between archaeologists and historians, sometimes between collective representation, which falls on the object of the struggles of social representation, the pottery itself, this materialization that is a category of knowledge in historical and archaeological research, coming from human groups of the precolonial period. One of the objectives consisting of to present some discursive constructions of the platinum region and how they interfere in the interpretation of artifacts, in the present, and in the understanding of the archaeological sites. We will take into account the negotiations carried out between the subjects who built the founding discourse concerning the ceramics of the Areal/Quara?-RS site and the stipulation of the Vieira archaeological tradition for this site as a case study, that which aims to reconstruct the discursive map of the pioneer archaeologists through a geography of thought, which also gains support through History and its sources of research. / Objetiva-se demonstrar a emergente necessidade de retomada das pesquisas arqueol?gicas quanto ? historicidade das tradi??es cer?micas estabelecidas para a regi?o platina, j? sugerida por Jorge Femen?as (1990), a qual foi habitada por grupos ind?genas no passado. A pesquisa busca reunir alguns estudos arqueol?gicos j? realizados, afim de que os dados contidos nessas publica??es possam nos mostrar o caminho conceitual utilizado na engenharia textual dos discursos e o encadeamento argumentativo sobre o s?tio arqueol?gico da Figueira/Areal (Quara?), com o intuito de contribuir para o entendimento do mapa discursivo constru?do sobre as ?reas pesquisadas. A partir do isolamento de conceitos chaves pode-se compreender o imbrincado quadro de afirma??es que tornam a regi?o e o debate fragilizados arqueologicamente. Neste trabalho ser? priorizada a no??o de representa??o, seja ela social ou coletiva, tendo em vista as diferentes quest?es que permeiam o tema abordado, ora as representa??es sociais concernentes ?s lutas de representa??o entre os arque?logos e historiadores, ora entre a representa??o coletiva, que recai sobre o objeto das lutas de representa??o social, a cer?mica em si, essa materializa??o que ? uma categoria do conhecimento na pesquisa hist?rica e arqueol?gica, oriunda de grupos humanos do per?odo pr?-colonial. Um dos objetivos consiste em apresentar algumas constru??es discursivas da regi?o platina e como elas interferem na interpreta??o de artefatos, no presente, e na compreens?o dos s?tios arqueol?gicos. Levaremos em considera??o as negocia??es efetuadas entre os sujeitos que constru?ram o discurso fundador concernente ? cer?mica do s?tio Areal/Quara?-RS e a estipula??o da tradi??o arqueol?gica Vieira para este s?tio como um estudo de caso, que objetiva reconstruir o mapa discursivo dos arque?logos pioneiros atrav?s de uma geografia do pensamento, o qual ganha suporte tamb?m atrav?s da Hist?ria e suas fontes de pesquisa.

The purpose of this study was to verify in which composition and sintering temperature the ceramic system for infrastructure composed of alumina and zirconia would have the best mechanical properties. With this objective we made in UFRN laboratories 45 test bodies in the form of rectangular bars with the following dimensions: 30mm x 8mm x 3mm, where we separated by the sintering temperature: 1200?C, 1300?C and 1400?C, and by comp osition: 33% Zirconia + 67% Alumina; 50% Zirconia + 50% Alumina and 25% Zirconia + 75% Alumina, these test bodies were not infiltrated with glass. Also, were made nine test bodies by a technical from a laboratory with a commercial ceramic system: in the Ceram Zirc?nia (Vita - Zahnfabrik) with the following dimensions: 20mm x 10mm x 0.5mm, these test bodies following all recommendations of the manufacturer and were infiltrated with glass. Were realized optical and electronic microscopy analyses, hardness testing, resistance to bending in three points, porosity and bulk density. After analysis of the results we verified that with the increasing of sintering temperature, increased the value of resistance to bending, but with the same temperature there was no significant difference between the different compositions, samples made with the commercial ceramic that were infiltrated, presented a resistance to bending six times greater than the samples sintered to 1400?C and which have not been infiltra ted. There was no significant difference between the values of apparent porosity for the samples made in UFRN laboratories, but the samples of commercial ceramic obtained 0% in porosity apparent value. In tests of Rockwell Hardness there is an increase in the value of Hardness, with the increase of sintering temperature for the samples not infiltrated. Samples infiltrated showed similar values as the samples sintered in 1400?C. There was no significant difference between the values of apparent density among samples manufactured in UFRN laboratories and samples made with a commercial ceramic / Os avan?os constantes dos sistemas cer?micos para infra-estruturas de coroas e pontes fazem com que os pesquisadores e fabricantes busquem um material que tenha boas propriedades mec?nicas e est?ticas.

This sector uses clay as raw material for manufacturing of various products such as ceramic plates. In this study, two types of clay called clay 1 and clay 2 were collected on deposit in Ielmo Marinho city (RN) and then characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), rational analysis and particle size distribution and dilatometric analyses. Ceramic plates were manufactured by uniaxial pressing and by extrusion. The plates obtained by pressing were produced from the four formulations called 1, 2, 3 and 4, which presented, respectively, the following proportions by mass: 66.5% clay 1 and 33.5% clay 2, 50% clay 1 and 50% clay 2, 33.5% clay 1 and 66.5% clay 2, 25% clay 1 and 75% clay 2. After firing at 850, 950 and 1050 ?C with heating rate of 10 ?C/min and soaking time of 30 minutes, the following technological properties were determined: linear firing shrinkage, water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent specific mass and tensile strength (3 points). The formulation containing 25% clay 1 produced plates with most satisfactory results of water absorption and mechanical resistance, because of that it was chosen for manufacturing plates by extrusion. A single firing cycle was established for these plates, which took place as follow: heating rate of 2 ?C/min up to 600 ?C with soaking time of 60 minutes, followed by heating using the same rate up to 1050 ?C with soaking time of 30 minutes. After this cycle, the same technological properties investigated in the plates obtained by pressing were determined. The results indicate (according to NRB 13818/1997) that the plates obtained by pressing from the mixture containing 25 wt% clay 1, after firing at 1050 ?C, reach the specifications for semi-porous coating (BIIb). On the other hand, the plates obtained by extrusion were classified as semi-stoneware (group AIIa) / O setor de constru??o civil est? fortemente relacionado ? ind?stria de cer?mica. Esse setor utiliza a argila como mat?ria-prima para fabrica??o de diversos produtos como, por exemplo, placas cer?micas. Neste estudo, dois tipos de argila, que receberam a denomina??o de argila 1 e 2, foram coletados em jazida localizada no munic?pio de Ielmo Marinho (RN) e caracterizados por an?lise termogravim?trica (TG/DrTG), an?lise t?rmica diferencial (DTA), difratometria de raios X (DRX), fluoresc?ncia de raios X (FRX), an?lise racional e an?lises de distribui??o de tamanho de part?cula (DTP) e dilatom?trica (AD). Placas cer?micas foram fabricadas por prensagem uniaxial e extrus?o. As placas conformadas por prensagem foram produzidas a partir de quatro formula??es denominadas 1, 2, 3 e 4, as quais apresentavam, respectivamente, as seguintes propor??es em massa: 66,5 % de argila 1 e 33,5% de argila 2, 50% de argila 1 e 50% de argila 2, 33,5% de argila 1 e 66,5% de argila 2 e 25% de argila 1 e 75% de argila 2. Ap?s queima a 850, 950 e 1050 ?C, com taxa de aquecimento de 10 ?C/min e isoterma de 30 minutos, foram determinadas as seguintes propriedades tecnol?gicas: retra??o linear de queima, absor??o de ?gua, porosidade aparente, massa espec?fica aparente e tens?o de ruptura ? flex?o. A formula??o com 25% de argila 1 produziu placas com resultados mais satisfat?rios de absor??o de ?gua e resist?ncia mec?nica e desta forma foi a selecionada para conforma??o das placas por extrus?o. Um ?nico ciclo de queima foi estabelecido para essas placas, o qual ocorreu da seguinte forma: taxa de aquecimento de 2 ?C/min at? 600 ?C, com isoterma de 60 minutos, seguido de aquecimento a mesma taxa at? 1050 ?C, com isoterma de 30 minutos. Ap?s esse ciclo, foram determinadas as mesmas propriedades tecnol?gicas das placas conformadas por prensagem.

Municipalities of Parelhas and Equador are the main responsible for the production of feldspar, quartz, kaolin and granite. The ceramic industries are always in search of competitiveness by investing in new products or improving existing techniques. The stoneware is a type of pottery that stands in the market because it presents technical and aesthetic characteristics superior to other existing products. Characteristics of the raw materials initially obtained with chemical analysis and mineralogical analysis are crucial in getting a product that satisfies the conditions in a manufacturing process and is, in principle, directly related to the firing cycle. This research aimed at developing new formulations for the mass production of ceramic stoneware. The raw materials initially characterized were feldspar, quartz, kaolin and granite. As part of the research was developed at the University of Aveiro, in Portugal, we used two clays used in the production of Portuguese ceramics. The raw material Brazilian and Portuguese and the final product, both in Portugal and Brazil, were analyzed for X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, granulometric analysis, dilatometric analysis, thermal analysis and analysis of scanning electron microscopy (MEV). The specimens prepared at the University of Aveiro (DECV) were sintered at 10000C and 12000C and the specimens prepared in UFRN were sintered at 10000C, 10500C, 11000C, 11500C, 12000C, 12500C and 13000C, but the best results and demonstrating the presence of the mineral mullite were at temperatures of 12000C, 12500C and 13000C. The results showed that the granite waste used may be considered raw material of excellent quality for use in the ceramic industry and coating floors and more accurately by the industry of stoneware. Physical and mechanical tests conducted on samples of the formulations F01 and F02 developed in UFRN showed a water absorption and mechanical strength suitable for the stoneware / No estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, as jazidas mais expressivas na produ??o de minerais de pegmatito e granito est?o na regi?o do Serid?.

There are many techniques to production of ceramic filters. One technique to obtain ceramic filters is the replication method. This method consists in the impregnation of polymeric foam with ceramic slurry followed by a heating treatment that will burn out the organic elements and sintering of the material, resulting of a replication of the original foam. To perform their functions ceramic filters must satisfy mechanical requirements and permeability parameters (darcian k1 and no-darcian k2). The permeability and the strength of the ceramic material are dependent of the pore size and pore distribution. To the use at high temperatures the evaluation of mechanical properties in these temperatures is necessary. In this work the mechanical behavior of two commercial porous ceramics (10 and 40 poros per inch) was studied these materials were submitted to compression and four-point flexure test (room temperature, at 1000 ?C, after thermal shock). Density and porosity measurements, permeability tests and microstructural analysis by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) were realized. The Results showed that the decrease of mechanical strength of these materials, when submitted to thermal shock, occur for propagation of new cracks from cracks pre-existing and the permeability depends of the pore size / As cer?micas porosas possuem uma vasta gama de aplica??es, tais como: isoladores t?rmicos, suporte catal?tico, materiais para prote??o contra fogo, filtros, dentre outras. Existem v?rias t?cnicas para a produ??o de filtros cer?micos, dentre as quais pode-se destacar o m?todo da r?plica, o qual consiste basicamente na impregna??o de uma esponja polim?rica ou natural com uma barbotina cer?mica, seguindo-se um tratamento t?rmico deste material, onde ocorrer? a decomposi??o do material org?nico e sinteriza??o do material cer?mico, resultando em um corpo cer?mico que consiste em uma r?plica da estrutura da esponja impregnada inicialmente. Al?m de par?metros de permeabilidade (darciana k1 e n?o darciana k2), os filtros cer?micos t?m que atender a requisitos mec?nicos, para que assim possam desempenhar bem as suas fun??es. A resist?ncia mec?nica e a permeabilidade dependem do tamanho e da distribui??o dos poros no material. Para utiliza??o em altas temperaturas, a avalia??o das propriedades mec?nicas a estas temperaturas se faz necess?ria.

It is necessary to investigate new applications for this waste type, due to the restrictions imposed by the environmental organs. The raw materials used in the Red Ceramic, are generally very heterogeneous, for this reason, such materials can tolerate the presence of different types of wastes. In Rio Grande do Norte, the roof tiles production corresponds to 60,61% from the total of ceramic units produced. Due to the importance of the ceramic industry of roof tiles for the state, allied to the environmental problem of the sludge disposal, this work had for objective to verify the possibility of the incorporation of sewage sludge in ceramic body used for production of roof tiles. In the research, sludge originating from drying beds of WTP of the Central Campus from UFRN and clays originating from a ceramic industry from Goianinha/RN were used. The raw materials were characterized by techniques of: analysis of particles distribution by diffraction to laser; real density; consistence limits; chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence; mineralogical analysis by X-ray diffraction; organic matter; and solids content. Five batches of roof tiles were manufactured in the approximate dosages of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%. To evaluate the properties of each final product, tests of water absorption, impermeability, bending strength, leachability and solubility were accomplished. The roof tiles manufactured with sludge presented characteristics similar to the roof tiles without sludge in relation to the environmental risk. The results showed that it is possible to use approximately up to 4% of sludge in ceramic bodies for production of roof tiles. However, it is observed that the high amount of organic matter (71%) present in the sludge is shown as factor that limits the sludge incorporation in ceramic bodies, worsening the quality of the roof tiles. It is necessary the use of mixtures of different raw materials under point of view of the granulometry and of the other chemical and mineralogical properties for the obtaining of a satisfactory mass to the production of ceramic roof tiles / A disposi??o de lodo de Esta??es de Tratamento de Esgotos (ETEs) ? um problema para qualquer municipalidade, por isso a quantidade de lodo produzido ? hoje um assunto fundamental na sele??o de m?todos de tratamento.

Para avaliar as propriedades de cada produto final, foram realizados ensaios de absor??o de ?gua, impermeabilidade, carga de ruptura ? flex?o, lixivia??o e solubiliza??o. As telhas fabricadas com lodo apresentaram caracter?sticas semelhantes ?s telhas sem lodo no que diz respeito ao risco ambiental. Os resultados mostraram que ? poss?vel utilizar aproximadamente at? 4% de lodo em massas cer?micas para fabrica??o de telhas. Contudo, observa-se que a elevada quantidade de mat?ria org?nica (71%) presente no lodo mostra-se como fator limitante na incorpora??o de lodo em massas cer?micas, comprometendo a qualidade das telhas.

In this project were synthesized compounds BaxSr(1-x)Co0, 8Fe0,2O3- (x = 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8) through the oxalate co-precipitation method. The synthesized powders were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis (TGADTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) with the Rietveld refinement using the software MAUD and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the synthesis technique used was suitable for production of nanostructured ceramic solid solutions. The powders obtained had a crystalline phase with perovskite-type structure. The TGA-DTA results showed that the homogeneous phase of interest was obtained temperature above 1034?C. It was also observed that the heating rate of the calcination process did not affect the elimination of impurities present in the ceramic powder. The variation in the addition of barium dopant promoted changes in the average crystallite size in the nanometer range, the composition being BSCF(5582) obtained the lowest value (179.0nm). The results obtained by oxalate co-precipitation method were compared with those synthesis methods in solid state and EDTA-citrate method / P?s cer?micos ? base de ?xidos de estrutura do tipo perovsquita ? de fundamental interesse atualmente, pois apresentam condutividade i?nica e eletr?nica importante na utiliza??o de materiais com aplica??es tecnol?gicas como: sensores de gases, membranas perme?veis ao oxig?nio, catalisadores e eletr?lito para c?lulas a combust?vel de ?xido s?lido .

Such ceramics result in miniaturized structures with dimensions well reduced and high radiation efficiency. In this work, we have used a new ceramic material called lead zinc titanate in the form of Zn0,8Pb0,2TiO3, capable of being used as a dielectric substrate in the construction of various structures of antennas. The method used in constructing the ceramic combustion synthesis was Self- Sustained High Temperature (SHS - "Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis") which is defined as a process that uses highly exothermic reactions to produce various materials. Once initiated the reaction area in the reaction mixture, the heat generated is sufficient to become self-sustaining combustion in the form of a wave that propagates converting the reaction mixture into the product of interest. Were analyzed aspects of the formation of the composite Zn0,8Pb0,2TiO3 by SHS powders and characterized. The analysis consisted of determining the parameters of the reaction for the formation of the composite, as the ignition temperature and reaction mechanisms. The production of composite Zn0,8Pb0,2TiO3 by SHS performed in the laboratory, was the result of a total control of combustion temperature and after obtaining the powder began the development of ceramics. The product was obtained in the form of regular, alternating layers of porous ceramics and was obtained by uniaxial pressing. 10 The product was characterized by analysis of dilatometry, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy.

The experiments involved the physical-chemical and mineralogical caracterization of the raw materials, and mechanical tests on specimens dried and sintered, performing a planning mixture and factorial experiment, using the response surface methodology. The ceramic bodies studied were prepared by dry process, characterized, placed in conformity by uniaxial pressing and sintered at temperatures of 940 ? C, 1000?C, 1060?C, 1120?C and 1180?C using a fast-firing cycle. The crystalline phases formed during sintering at temperatures under study, revealed the presence of anorthite and wolastonite, and quartz-phase remaining. These phases were mainly responsible for the physical and mechanical properties of the sintered especimens. The results shown that as increases the participation of carbonate in the composition of ceramic bodies there is an increase of water absorption and a slight reduction in linear shrinkage for all sintering temperatures. As for the mechanical strength it was observed that it tended to decrease for sintering at temperatures between 940 ? C and 1060 ? C and to increase for sintering at temperatures above 1060 ? C occurring with greater intensity for compositions with higher content of calcite. The resistence decreased with increasing participation of quartz in all sintering temperatures. The decrease in grain size of calcite caused a slight increase in water absorption for formulation with the same concentration of carbonate, remaining virtually unchanged the results of linear shrinkage and mechanical strength. In conclusion, porous ceramic coating (BIII) can be obtained using high concentrations of calcite and keeping the properties required in technical standards and that the particle size of calcite can be used as tuning parameter for the properties of ceramic products. / Este trabalho objetiva estudar a influ?ncia da concentra??o de calcita, sua granulometria e temperatura de sinteriza??o na obten??o de formula??es para revestimento poroso que atendam as especifica??es da norma. Os experimentos envolveram a caracteriza??o f?sico qu?mica e mineral?gica das mat?rias-primas, e ensaios mec?nicos nos corpos de prova secos e sinterizados, precedendo-se de um planejamento de experimento de mistura e fatorial, com o uso da metodologia de superf?cie de resposta. As massas cer?micas estudadas foram preparadas pelo processo via seca, caracterizada, conformada por prensagem uniaxial e sinterizadas nas temperaturas de 940?C, 1000?C, 1060?C, 1120?C, e 1180?C utilizando um ciclo de sinteriza??o r?pido. As fases cristalina formadas durante a sinteriza??o nas temperaturas em estudo, revelaram a presen?a de anortita e wolastonita, al?m de quartzo com fase remanescente. Estas fases foram as principais respons?veis pelas propriedades f?sico-mec?nica dos corpos de provas sinterizados. Verificou-se que conforme se aumenta a participa??o do carbonato na composi??o das massas cer?micas ocorre um incremento de absor??o de ?gua e uma pequena redu??o da retra??o linear para todas as temperaturas de sinteriza??o. J? para a resist?ncia mec?nica houve uma tend?ncia de redu??o para sinteriza??o entre 940?C e 1060?C e aumento para sinteriza??o acima da temperatura de 1060?C ocorrendo com maior intensidade para formula??es com maior teor de calcita, e houve diminui??o da resist?ncia com o aumento da participa??o do quartzo em todas as temperaturas de sinteriza??o. A diminui??o da granulometria da calcita provocou um leve aumento na Absor??o de ?gua para formula??o com a mesma concentra??o desse carbonato mantendo praticamente inalterados os resultados de retra??o linear e resist?ncia mec?nica. Conclui-se que produtos cer?micos para revestimento poroso (BIII) podem ser obtidos utilizando altas concentra??es de calcita e mantendo-se as propriedades exigidas em normas t?cnicas e que a granulometria da calcita pode ser usada como par?metro de ajuste para as propriedades dos produtos cer?micos
