Abstract
The synthesis and applications of black ceramic formed by recycling of industrial wastes are presented. Black ceramic was synthesised using vanadium residue, kaolin and earthenware clay as starting materials. The stable phase structures in the black ceramic include ilmenite, haematite and iolite. The V–Ti black ceramic that was produced can be used as black pigment, black tiles, infrared radiating elements and for solar absorber coatings.
