The Ceramext® Technology
The Ceramext® technology is a patented and patent-pending, energy efficient technology capable of converting a wide variety of materials including coal, lignite, and biomass fly ash, bottom ash, slag, clays, volcanic ash and mine tailings into high-strength, low-porosity, industrial ceramics such as floor and roof tiles, bricks, and other marketable construction products.
The Ceramext® technology is a proprietary technology using elevated temperatures. The Ceramext® technology derives plasticity by the formation of a liquid phase in the material at elevated temperature. The technology can utilize a wide variety of raw materials, including those that are considered waste materials, such as coal fly ash, incinerated garbage ash, and mine tailings which are currently disposed of in expensive landfills.
Preliminary engineering studies completed to date indicate expected low capital and operating costs in comparison to conventional industrial ceramic operations.
