About Ceramext®
A patent has been issued on certain equipment and been recently allowed on certain compositions with patents pending on additional compositions and processes. The technology makes premium porcelain quality tile and other ceramic products out of coal fly ash, mine tailings and other waste materials that would have gone to landfill dump sites. The Ceramext® technology can also inorporate FGD (flue gas desulfuration) material from coal fired power plants into stable high quality ceramics, as shown in the tile below.
Miners and power plant operators have wished for a way to get rid of their waste ash and mining residue for years. They now can get rid of their waste products by recycling them into a high-value, high-quality ceramic products. The tile is stronger than conventional porcelain tile, is impervious to water so it does not need a costly glaze, and can be manufactured with less energy input decreasing our dependency on foreign fuels.
