Although, the majority of the natural reservations are unknown or not studied yet, so there is no scientific technical dates that can guide their usage and industrial application, as well as the racional and optimazed way of usage by the industrial sector. The state of Maranh?o has a gigant mineral wealth as esmectite, bentonite, kaolin, clays, feldspates, marine salt, iron and others, but produce only products with small agregated value compared to the porcelanato, one of the most expensives ceramic cover tiles, the reason for that is the low water absorption (lower than 0,5%), beside present amazing tecnicals features, like mechanical resistence. The main objective of the work is to do the characterization of four clays, with the finallity of find an application by the results and develop formulations to produce porcelanato using these raw materials from Timon-MA. For this were made the raw materials characterization using X ray fluorecence; X ray diffraction; Differencial thermal analysis; Dilatometric analysis and Tecnological properties, planing three formulations that were sinterized at six different temperatures: 1150, 1170, 1190, 1210, 1230 and 1250?C for 7 minutes. After the sinteratization, the samples were submitted to tension resistance analysis. Were attained two formulations with the requested properties to produce porcelanato / O Brasil ? um grande produtor de mat?rias-primas cer?micas, em virtude do grande n?mero de jazidas de argilas que possui, nas diversas ?reas da ind?stria cer?mica. Todavia, a grande maioria destas reservas naturais ? desconhecida ou permanece indevidamente estudada, n?o havendo assim dados t?cnico-cient?ficos que orientem sua utiliza??o e aplica??o industrial, bem como sua utiliza??o de maneira mais racional e otimizada por parte do setor industrial. O maranh?o possui grandes riquezas minerais como esmectita, bentonita, caulim, argilas, feldspatos, micas, min?rio de ferro, talco, sal marinho, entre outras, no entanto produz apenas produtos de baixo valor agregado em rela??o ao gr?s porcelanato, uma das mais nobres cer?micas de revestimento, devido a sua baixa absor??o de ?gua (tipicamente abaixo de 0,5%), al?m de apresentar excelentes caracter?sticas t?cnicas, destacando-se resist?ncia mec?nica, ao risco e ao manchamento. Assim, o objetivo principal deste trabalho ? caracterizar quatro argilas, com a proposta final de uma aplica??o atrav?s dos resultados obtidos em laborat?rios e desenvolver formula??es para produ??o de gr?s porcelanato a partir de mat?rias-primas da regi?o de Timon-MA. Para isso, foi feita a caracteriza??o das mat?rias-primas por Fluoresc?ncia de Raios X; Difra??o de Raios X; An?lise t?rmica Diferencial; An?lise T?rmica Diferencial, An?lise Dilatom?trica e Propriedades Tecnol?gicas, elaborando tr?s formula??es que foram queimadas em seis temperaturas: 1150, 1170,1190 1210, 1230 e 1250?C com 7 minutos de patamar. Ap?s a queima, os corpos-de-prova foram submetidos a ensaios f?sico-mec?nicos e tamb?m por Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura. Foram obtidos para duas formula??es propriedades compat?veis com as exigidas para o gr?s

The growing demand of consumers along with the competitiveness of the structural ceramic sector has driven forward a number of recent efforts and investments towards improving the quality of structural ceramics. In this scenario, the present study focused on sampling and evaluating the conformity of 8-hole horizontally perforated extruded clay bricks manufactured by different plants (A, B and C) in the metropolitan area of Salvador. In addition, representative clay and sandy-clay materials were collected from each plant and characterized by conventional physical, chemical and mineralogical techniques. Finally, experimental compositions designated as A, B and C, according to the source, were prepared by mixing different contents of the raw materials collected in the plants, fired at different temperatures and characterized. The results revealed a series of non conformities regarding ABNT guidelines. The characterization of raw materials revealed the presence of kaolinite and ilite in concentrations ranging from 64 to 90 wt.% along with free quartz (10 - 25%). The sandy-clay samples consisted basically of kaolinite. All raw materials depicted low contents of organics, amorphous constituents, alkaline oxides and feldspar. An analysis of the firing behavior of all different ceramic compositions revealed that the linear contraction of composition A was rather significant considering the temperature range evaluated, and it justifies the significant dimensional non conformity that was shown by bricks made with the ceramic A / O mercado potencial de cer?mica estrutural na regi?o metropolitana de Salvador ? respons?vel pelo consumo de mais de 800 milh?es de pe?as/ano. Com um com?rcio cada vez mais exigente e competitivo torna-se necess?rio que as ind?strias ceramistas invistam em a??es que visem aperfei?oar a qualidade de seus produtos. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o ?ndice de conformidade de blocos cer?micos e caracterizar a mat?ria-prima. Foram empregadas as normas ABNT para an?lise de conformidade de blocos cer?micos em tr?s ind?strias (A, B e C) da Regi?o Metropolitana do Salvador, bem como t?cnicas para caracteriza??o qu?mica, f?sica e mec?nica das mat?rias-primas e formula??o e an?lise das massas. Com base nos resultados alcan?ados pode-se concluir que os blocos cer?micos fabricados pelas ind?strias pesquisadas n?o apresentam conformidade com as normas t?cnicas brasileiras. Os argilominerais encontrados nas mat?rias-primas estudadas (massas A, B e C) foram a caulinita e a ilita que ficaram entre 64 a 90% e o teor de quartzo livre entre 10 e 25%. Os arenosos s?o predominantemente argilas caulin?ticas. Os materiais caracterizados apresentaram baixa concentra??o de materiais amorfos, baixo teor de ?xidos alcalinos e, conseq?entemente, concentra??es muito baixas de feldspatos. A an?lise das curvas de gresifica??o das massas demonstra que a inclina??o da curva de retra??o linear ? mais acentuada para a massa A, na faixa de temperatura estudada, e justifica a significativa n?o conformidade dimensional verificada nos blocos produzidos pela cer?mica A

As a result, large volumes of kaolin residue are constantly generated and abandoned in the environment, negatively contributing to its preservation. In this scenario, the objective of the present study was to characterize the residue generated from kaolin mining as well as to assess its potential use as raw material for the production of ceramic tiles. Ceramic mixtures were prepared from raw materials characterized by X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, particle size analysis and thermal analysis.
