Rheological properties of slips based on polymineral clays with electrolyte additives

The effect of various electrolytes (soda ash, water glass, sodium tripolyphosphate, coal-alkali reactant) as well as their combinations on the rheological properties and electrokinetic potential of ceramic slips for souvenir bottle production based on polymineral clays from Belarus is investigated. It is established that the maximum liquefying of ceramic suspensions is reached under the joint effect of a combination of electrolytes, due to the simultaneous impact of cation exchange and physical adsorption of anions in the system.
