Adherence of the biosilica to the bioceramic tiles

Vitrified bioceramic tiles were subjected by the incorporation of synthesized biosilica from bioresidue of Rice straw ash. The partially and fully substitution of biosilica for quartz in porcelain formulation enhances the physico-mechanical parameters. The ultrasonic pulse velocity was correlated with the compressive strength. The result which confirms that the biosilica act as a filler in porcelain tiles thus improves the mechanical behaviour of bioceramic tiles than reference tile. This synthesized biosilica has a highly substantial for quartz and it is environmental pollutant control in a sustainable way. Thus, biosilica is a suitable material for the production of vitrified bioceramic tiles.
