Relationship of Phase and Chemical Compositions of Durable Ceramic Material from the Fortification Wall of the City of Thessaloniki (Greece) Aged More Than 1,000 Years

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

The chemical and phase compositions of a ceramic material (plinth) aged more than 1,000 years that was used to construct the fortress wall were studied. Elemental analyses determined that the material had an increased carbon content of 9.50%, indicating that fuel was introduced into the raw material. This not only increased the porosity of the products but also contributed to uniform sintering of the ceramic shard and formed a glass phase up to 1000°C with an increased content of alkali oxides (R2O > 4%).
