In glassmaking, feldspar provides alumina for improving hardness, durability, and resistance to chemical corrosion. In ceramics, feldspar is used as a flux, lowering the vitrifying temperature of a ceramic body during firing and forming a glassy phase. Glass and ceramics continued to be the major end uses of feldspar.

Thus, glazes high in feldspar (e.g. 50%) are likely to craze. Using a little glaze chemistry, it is often possible to substitute some of the KNaO for another fluxing oxide having a lower thermal expansion. Frits melt so much better than raw materials. Feldspar and talc are both flux sources (glaze melters), they are common in all types of ...

Ulan feldspar (WF), first discovered in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, is a new raw material separated from granite by pure physical technology. It can replace K-feldspar (KF) and quartz in the ceramic industry. Furthermore, the reserves of WF are abundant. As a flux, KF is very common in ceramic raw materials.

Feldspar. An indispensable material in the ceramic industry. Most ceramic bodies employ feldspar as a flux to vitrify them at a lower temperature (the feldspar creates a glaze that glues the more refractory particles together to form the fired matrix). Most medium and high temperature glazes employ it as a flux.

For this reason, ceramic industries are in good position to exploit the industrial by-products as alternative source of raw materials on sustainable basis. Granite waste can be utilized as feldspar as it contains quartz (10–40%) and alkaline feldspar (30–60%), (Asadi Shamsabadi et al., 2018, Yang et al., 2017).
