Fracking: Boon or Bane?
Dear Readers,
For energy producers, fracking is a magic word that promises a golden
age, especially in the USA. Due to progress made in recent years with
this production method, shale gas fields can be developed that were
previously not economically viable. With fracking, drilling is first
done vertically down to the clay shale and is then further extended
horizontally within the formation – over distances as far as 1–2 kilometres. In the next step water, chemical solvents and sand are injected
under high pressure into the well bore in order to break up the clay
shale. This produces cracks in the rock, through which methane flows
to the well bore and then to the surface.
Production forecasts are coming thick and fast, and it is estimated that
the USA could satisfy its demand for gas for 200 years with this technique. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), underground natural gas resources are so big that by 2020 the USA could
overtake Russia and Saudi Arabia as the largest producer of energy and
possibly become import-independent.
However, the environmental consequences of this method have not
been researched extensively, and critics are worried, for example,
about contamination and depletion of drinking water sources. For a
borehole in shale gas, approximately 10,000 m3 of water, 300 m3 proppant and 50 metric tons of chemicals are needed. For 300 holes this
potentially adds up to 3 million m3 of water, 90,000 m3 proppant and
15,000 metric tons of chemicals. The water used for fracking, as well as
deep groundwater coming to the surface, must be collected and
cleaned. Deep groundwater may contain salt, heavy metals, hydrocarbons and radioactive isotopes, as well as – after the fracking procedure – part of the fracking fluid. Thus, it is no wonder that fracking is
controversially discussed all over the world.
Proponents of fracking technology argue that many coal-fired power
plants in the USA have been shut down and replaced by gas-fired
plants, which has led to decreases of about 400 million tons in CO2
emissions per year from fossil fuels over the past 7–8 years. Would
worldwide promotion of fracking then have a positive effect on the
atmosphere and block global warming?
A recently published article in “National Geographic Germany” pointed
out that methane is an even more potent greenhouse gas than CO2,
which is of great concern to climate researchers. Since 2006, measurements have shown that the methane content in the atmosphere is on
the rise. Many experts are of the opinion that this is also a consequence
of strongly intensified drilling of shale gas reserves.
Thus, the development and use of any fossil fuel – be it methane, coal
or oil – unfortunately still appears to contribute to a global rise in
temperature. Against this background, discussions about the pros
and cons of each delivery method, while of value, may divert us from
solving one of our most pressing problems: limiting global warming.
The real solution will come through developing and implementing
effective sustainable technologies for energy production, coupled with
energy-efficient industrial processes. All other paths will inexorably
lead to failure and possible disaster!

CERAMICS FORUM
Anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2) exhibits a low
thermal expansion coefficient and dielectric
constant as well as good wear resistance.
These properties nominate anorthite to be a
promising material for substrate applications,
e.g. in the electronics industry. Filter cake produced from the processing of juice purification
during the production of sugar from sugar-beet
is a solid waste containing pulp, carbonate, lime
residue and molasses. This is a major problem
unless it is not utilized. The article starting on
page 426 reports the suitability of sugar-beet
filter cake as a novel starting material in the
preparation of anorthite bodies.
RAW MATERIALS WORLDWIDE
HIGH-PERFORMANCE CERAMICS
Laterites and lateritic soils are readily available
in tropical and subtropical areas. The degree of
induration of these materials varies, ranging
from an almost loose, coherent mass with very
poor mechanical properties to the most dense
and hardened blocks. The objective of the study
presented on page 430 was to investigate the
potential use of indurated laterites as effective
structural building and construction materials.
Since the development of an economic technology to produce construction materials in tropical
areas enhance the building practices, this work
was sponsored by “The Academy of Sciences for
the Third World”.
Composite systems are becoming more and more
popular in biomedical applications because of
the effective combination of the desired properties of their constituents. From this perspective,
inorganic bioactive glass fillers and biocompatible polymer matrices are one of the mostly
developed systems for orthopaedic and dental
applications. The research report starting on
page 444 describes the fabrication of a biocomposite scaffolds loaded with ciprofloxacin.
All the results of the study suggest that this
composite system can serve as an appropriate
bioactive matrix for tissue regeneration.

Refractories Colloquium
Reflects European Industries
Resurgence
Brüssel, and was entitled “Paving the way to 2050 – the ceramic industry roadmap” which was an initiative developed by the European
ceramic community to advance environmental and economic benefits for the companies and the countries that they are based in. Details of the contents of this lengthy but important document were
issued by PRE earlier this year (available at: www.cerameunie.eu).
D.A. Jarvis*
Main topic: Refractories for industrials
The magnificent facilities afforded by the Eurogress Congress
Centre Aachen (Germany) was once more the backdrop to a successful meeting of the worlds refractories community. ECREF, the
European Centre for Refractories based in Höhr-Grenzhausen
(German) organised the 56th annual international colloquium in
this popular venue. The meeting was held September 25–26, 2013
and welcomed over 380 delegates from all over the world. Each year
the meeting alternates between featuring papers mainly on iron and
steel and other more general topics. This year’s theme was “Refractories for Industrials”. As usual the meeting opened with a general
session and then was divided into different technical topics running
concurrently in the two main lecture theatres with simultaneous
translation between the two main conference languages German
and English.
The venue: Eurogress Congress Centre Aachen
In the opening session all of the delegates were welcomed by
Thomas Seger, Association of the German Refractories Industry,
Höhr-Grenzhausen. Mr Seger was accompanied and supported by
a number of other figures in the European refractories industry
including Francois Wanec, PRE Fédération Européenne des Fabricants de Produits Réfractaires, Brüssel, Prof. Rainer Telle, Institut für Gesteinshüttenkunde, RWTH Aachen, Prof. Christos G.
Aneziris and Prof. Ernst Schlegel of the Institut für Keramik, Glasund Baustofftechnik, Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg. Also in attendance were Gangolf Stegh, DGFS-Deutsche
Gesellschaft Feuerfest- und Schornsteinbau e.V., Bonn, Dr. Ulrich
Roger, Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft e.V. (DGG), Martin
Roth, Bundesverband der Deutschen Ziegelindustrie e.V., Bonn,
and Dr. Detlev Nicklas, Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft e.V.,
Köln.
The keynote lecture was presented by Astrid Volckaert, PRE
Fédération Européenne des Fabricants de Produits Réfractaires,
Technical sessions
Before lunch the programme featured the presentation of the
Gustav Eirich Award given each year for an award winning paper
on refractories technology chosen by a panel of judges. Immediately after lunch two technical sessions on “Processing of Ceramics” and the “Testing of Refractories” started in both main lecture
halls.
The papers on ceramic processing covered diverse topics, but with
several strong references to the production and use of low thermal
mass bricks and monolithics. These have clear advantages of the
ability to allow the construction of lightweight structures while at
the same time saving significant amounts of energy and money. The
presentations on testing emphasised the necessity to be able to
replicate and compare test results from different sources. They also
touched on the importance of specialised procedures such as for
carbon monoxide resistance and the development of new tests in
areas like ultrasonics which can be used in non destructive testing of
samples and, in some cases, also structures.
The session on monolithic refractories featured new developments
in the chemistry, granulometry and bonding systems of castable
materials to further enhance their performance in service and lower
the unit cost in operation. The papers on raw materials developed
the theme that without detailed planning and preparation there
may be future problems in the availability of high quality raw materials produced using lower energy levels to higher environmental
standards.
The next day of the meeting saw major sessions on monolithic refractories and on installation techniques, equipment and applications. Concurrently topics on testing were covered. Additionally a
number of individual detailed company papers were presented.
Some of the newer – less usual – applications covered were the development and use of refractories for vessels engaged in coal gasification and the need for them to resist very aggressive slags. There
were also presentations on refractories used in biomass and hazardous waste treatments and in titanium chlorinator vessels. Papers on
refractories for the production of non ferrous metals were also featured as were instances of refractories used in the cement and in the
glass industries.

The invited session opened with a paper on “Sintering and Measuring Conditions –Effects on the Dielectric Properties of TTB Ceramic Materials” by Andrei Rotaru, University of St Andrews (UK),
with input from INFLPR Bucharest – National Institute for Laser,
Plasma and Radiation Physics Laser Department, and The Central and Eastern European Committee for Thermal Analysis and
Calorimetry.
Four other presentations from Serbian and Bulgarian institutes
were also given. There were two other sessions featuring more than
sixteen papers on a wide range of subjects. The poster session covered almost fifty presentations on ceramic related topics.
COMPOSITES EUROPE 2013
with Strong Growth Spurt
Poster presentation (courtesy of Prof. Vojislav Mitić)
More than 100 delegates from both – the scientific and artistic –
ceramic communities in Canada, Brazil, Bulgaria, France, Germany,
Japan, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and the UK attended the
event. Co-chaired by Prof. Vojislav Mitić, President of the Serbian
Ceramic Society and Prof. Olivera Milošević, President of the
Serbian Ceramic Society Assembly, the conference was organized
around the twin themes of opening up new frontiers for designing
advanced ceramic materials and preservation of cultural heritage
and divided up into three plenary sessions – a session on invited
papers and a large poster session. The individual technical sessions
covered very widely ranging topics related to research and more directly to practical applications in the fields of energy conservation.
The meeting opened in Plenary Session I with a paper on the
“European Roadmap for Nanotechnology: Directions for Eco-
Lightweight construction is today’s priority, and composite materials
are the necessary key technology. The impending boom of these innovative materials was also reflected at COMPOSITES EUROPE
2013 which set new records with a clear increase in exhibitor (26 %)
and visitor figures (30 %). 406 exhibitors (previous event in Stuttgart
2011: 322) from 28 countries and 9,171 visitors (2011: 7,080) came
to the Stuttgart exhibition Centre from September 17–19, 2013.
“With these figures, COMPOSITES EUROPE has now definitely
established a firm position for itself among European lightweight
construction fairs”, says Hans-Joachim Erbel, CEO with trade fair
organizer Reed Exhibitions Germany. The leading producers and
processors of composite materials, mechanical engineering companies and research institutions had come to Stuttgart for the
eight edition. The focus of the trade fair, the lecture programme
and the accompanying conference of AVK (Federation of Reinforced Plastics, Germany) this year were new materials systems,
integrated production technologies and innovations for the application markets.
“Composites are a key technology for Germany as an industrial
location. That is also evident at COMPOSITES EUROPE”, says AVK
Chairman Dr. Michael Effing. The significance of Germany as a
location for the composites industry and its application sectors is
,17(5&(5$0
75$'()$,56&219(17,216
also reflected in the strong participation of international key players
in the trade fair. The large national pavilions with leading companies from France, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA and China emphasize the international importance of COMPOSITES EUROPE. Being held at the trade fair location Stuttgart – in the heart of Southern Germany, Europe’s largest market for lightweight construction
– COMPOSITES EUROPE is closer to its application markets than
any other event. One in two trade fair visitors came from the automotive sector, followed by the aviation and mechanical engineering
segments.
Composites market continues to pick up speed
The mood at COMPOSITES EUROPE demonstrated: The sales
markets for composite materials continue to pick up speed. The
future prospects for the industry, while varying according to sector,
are generally good. This is evident from the Composites Market
Report 2013 published jointly by AVK and the Association of Carbon Composites (CCeV). In the largest segment – glass-fibre reinforced plastics – experts expect a growth in Europe. With respectable increases, Germany is the largest market and driving force in
this field and has now for the first time become the largest producer
in Europe. Prospects for the CRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics)
market are promising, according to the market report: here the experts of the CCeV industry network see a sound market with minimum annual growth rates of 13 %. Currently, the potential for
growth is in the large mass segments of wind power plants, aerospace and sports, as well as in the automotive segment which is
considered the strongest driving force with the highest potential.
As a result, companies have a positive view of the future. When
asked about the perspective for business developments in their industry, 80 % of the exhibitors expressed the expectation of a light to
strong upward trend in the market.
Advances in automation
Automation of processes for the mass production of composite
components continues to be the precondition for the success of
composite materials in the application industries. At COMPOSITES
EUROPE, composite application markets such as automotive, aviation, wind power as well as the building sector were the primary
focus of the fair. The growing number of exhibitors from the mechanical engineering segment confirms the increasing significance
of COMPOSITES EUROPE: “Most of the exhibiting VDMA (German Engineering Association) member companies are highly satisfied and express gratification at the increasingly internationality of
trade visitors“, says Dr. Walter Begemann of the VDMA Forum
Composite Technology. “We see fibre-reinforced composites as
having great potential. We therefore feel that we are in the right
place at COMPOSITES EUROPE”, adds Krauss Maffei’s Sebastian
Schmidhuber.
The next COMPOSITES EUROPE will take place from 7 to 9 October 2014 in Duesseldorf (Germany) – at the same time as the ALUMINIUM World Trade Fair. According to schedule, COMPOSITES
EUROPE will then return to Stuttgart in 2015, where it will again be
accompanied by HYBRID Expo.

Most Important Event for the
Powder and Bulk Industries
in China
The 11th International Powder & Bulk Solids Processing Conference
& Exhibition (IPB) (October 15 to 17, 2013, Shanghai) has come to
a fruitful close. 166 exhibitors from 11 countries showcased the
latest technologies for processing powder, granules, and bulk solids
in a display venue of more than 2,349 m2. During the three-day
show, IPB 2013 attracted 6,446 visitors from 24 countries and regions. Visitors came from a wide variety of industries, among them
the chemical industry (30 %), mechanical and plant engineering
(12 %), the pharmaceutical industry (10 %), food and feed manufacturing (9 %), and the mining industry (6 %). Approximately 350
visitors at the parallel U.K./China International Particle Technology
Forum discussed recent advances and identified future research directions in particle science and technology. The conference is held
every two years, either in the U.K. or China. This year’s attendees
included engineers and scientists who were also key buyers at IPB.
NürnbergMesse China and the Chinese Society of Particuology
jointly organize China’s annual “one-stop-shop” trade show for all
industries focusing on mixing, conveying, milling, screening, and
granulating. Over the past eleven years, IPB has become the most
important international platform for the powder and bulk sector in
China. Almost every fifth exhibitor was international: The top exhibiting nations after China were Germany, Japan, and the United States.
The products on display included basic mechanical processing and
nano particle technologies, measurement and control systems, and
many more. According to a trade show survey, 80 % of the exhibitors were satisfied with the professional qualifications and competence of the trade visitors: 91 % explained that they were able to
reach their most important target groups at IPB 2013. Every 9th exhibitor expected follow-up business due to contacts made during
the trade show.
Informative supporting program
The high-quality exhibition was complemented by an edifying supporting program. BS&B Safety System Asia Pacific hosted the workshop “Industrial dust explosion risk management”. Zhangjiagang
Fanchang Machinery organized a seminar on the topic “Mixing,
measurement, and transport of powder materials.” Another highlight at IPB 2013 was the workshop “Optimizing dry powder measurements” held by HORIBA Trading.

International Ceramics
Industry Exhibition in India
Ceramics Asia 2013 will be held from December 18–20, 2013 in
Gujarat University Exhibition Center, Ahmedabad (India). This
event is designed to cater to the growing markets in the Asian region
and its potential for the ceramic industry in particular.
Ceramic industry in India
The ceramic industry in India is more than 100 years old. It comprises mainly of ceramic tiles, sanitaryware, tableware and – more
recently – technical ceramics. The heavy clay industry in India offers
a big market. State-of-the-art ceramic goods are being manufactured in the country and the technology adopted by the organized
sector within Indian ceramic industry is of international standard.
Ceramic tile industry in India
Today ceramic tile throughout the world is not hand-made or
hand-painted for the most part. Automated manufacturing techniques are used and the human hand does not enter into the picture until it is time to install the tile. Most modern houses throughout use ceramic tiles for their bathrooms and kitchens and in every vital area of the premises. Ceramic tiles are also the choice of
industries, where walls and floors must resist chemicals. And the
space shuttle never leaves earth without its protective jacket of
high-tech, heat resistant tiles. A major change that took over ceramic tiles industry was the introduction of vitrified and porcelain
tiles. These entrant tiles are said to be the future tiles which account for 50 % of total tile sales by value.
Ceramic tiles as a product segment has grown to a sizable chunk
today at approximately 600 million m2 production per annum. The
key drives for the ceramic tiles in India are the boom in housing sector coupled by government policies fuelling strong growth in housing sector. The investment in the last 5 years has been to the tune of
approx € 725 Million. The industry also enjoys the unique distinction of being highly indigenous with an abundance of raw materials,
technical skills, infrastructural facilities despite being fairly capital
intensive. A total of over 550,000 people are employed in the sector.
Sanitaryware industry in India
The sanitaryware industry in India is divided into two sectors, the
organized and unorganized sectors. In the unorganized sector
around 250 companies produce basic sanitaryware under various
brand names. Their production capacity totals 500.000 Mio t/year.
The industry has been growing by about 15–18 % over the last two
years. Goods are exported to East and West Asia, Africa, Europe and
Canada. The sanitaryware industry in India has shown dramatic
growth over the last 5 years, with major players doubling their production capacity. The manufacturers have adapted better technologies, like battery casting, beam casting, and imported fast-firing
cycle kiln technology.
Indian tableware industry
India is exporting bone china tableware to Europe, Canada, Australia,
etc. At present, production capacity of bone china tableware in India
is 200 t/day – and nearly 25 % of total production is exported. New
bone china units in India are using the latest technology and equipment and even the old stoneware industry has come a long way.
Technical ceramics
The global market for advanced ceramics is estimated at € 19 Billion, the Indian market at about € 40 Million. A combination of
special raw materials and superior manufacturing techniques deliver products with unique resistances to temperature, corrosion and
wear for use in the electronics, automotive and aerospace industries.
The per unit realization from advanced ceramics products is much
higher than margins on regular products and Indian Export Promotion Council India (Capexil) is likely to plan a roadmap for the
development of exports of advanced ceramics products under a
Market Access Initiative (MAI) scheme. The industry is expected to
grow at a rate of 10 % in the future.
Major growth drivers in this industry
The key driver for the ceramic tiles and sanitaryware in India is the
boom in housing sector coupled by government policies fuelling
strong growth in housing sector. The retail boom in the Indian
economy has also influenced the demand for higher end products.
Overall the bullish growth estimates in the Indian economy has significantly influenced the growth of the Indian ceramic industry.

Determination of Carbon
and Sulfur in Organic and
Inorganic Solids
When using conventional elemental analyzers for carbon and sulfur
determination in solids, the user has to decide whether to use a
resistance furnace to analyze organic compounds or an induction
furnace for inorganic compounds.
Not with ELTRA’s unique CS-2000 analyzer which combines both
techniques! Thus the user only needs one analyzer to examine
organic matrices (such as fuels, oils, chemicals) and inorganic
matrices (such as steel, ores, ceramics, glass) for their carbon and
sulfur content directly without cumbersome sample preparation.
The analysis time of the CS-2000 is very short: analysis of steel,
for example, only takes about 50 seconds; for coal it is about
90 seconds.
RHI: Problems in Norway
Strain Earnings Situation
In the third quarter of 2013, revenues fell to € 427.4 million, down
4.0 % on the previous quarter. While the revenues of the Steel Division declined by 3.6 % because business in Europe was weaker than
expected, the Industrial Division’s revenues fell by 4.7 % especially
due to the postponement of projects in the business unit glass.
The operating result in the past quarter amounted to € 32.2 million
and is burdened by technical problems in the newly constructed
fusion plant in Norway totaling roughly € 12 million, and by negative currency effects. Compared to the operating result of the second
quarter of 2013, which was adversely affected by negative one-off
effects of € 11 million, this corresponds to an increase by 18.4 %.
The operating result margin rose from 6.1 % to 7.5 %. EBIT
amounted to € 30.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 and was
influenced by write-offs of € 1.9 million in China resulting from
product and process enhancements. The decline in EBIT compared
to the previous quarter is primarily attributable to the positive
effects from the termination of the US Chapter 11 proceedings recorded in the second quarter of 2013.

A critical issue in orthopaedic and dental implant surgery is the development of infections due to bacterial colonization in the
surrounding sites. The potential of bioactive glass materials has clearly been confirmed for tissue engineering. To prevent
infections, it would be reasonable to synthesize ideal bioactive glasses containing antibacterial elements. There have been
several attempts to introduce silver into bioactive glass structures to take advantage of its strong antibacterial activity
against microorganisms. It has been speculated that this idea and the advent of modern biomaterials could result in significant future advances. However, there is considerable evidence that silver ions also have cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in
higher organisms, which causes concern about its harmful impacts. Undoubtedly, this strategy needs further investigation
and many critical questions have to be answered before it can be successfully advanced.
1 Introduction
The development of infection and bacterial colonization after implantation of bioactive materials is a critical issue in orthopaedic
and dental surgery [1]. The ensuing use of antibiotics and antibacterial strategies has shed light on alternate strategies for minimizing
the danger of infection, risk of implant failure, and even avoiding
patient death [2–3]. Since the 1800’s, silver has frequently been used
for medical applications due to its effective antibacterial activity, but
its antimicrobial mechanism is not fully understood [4–5]. Some
studies have suggested that silver ions can potentially interact with
bacterial cells by binding sulfhydryl groups of bacteria enzymes,
binding to microbial DNA to prevent bacteria replication, inhibiting

cell respiration, and restricting transport of vital substances within
cells [6–8].
Since bioactive glass materials have been extensively used as orthopaedic and dental grafting materials, silver-containing bioactive
glasses have recently been developed to induce inhibitory effects on
bacterial growth [9–12]. Many studies have reported on introduction of silver oxide into bioactive glass structures with the aim of
potentially minimizing the risk of microbial contamination through
the antimicrobial activity of silver ions [13–14]. Releasing silver ions
as dissolution products from silver-containing bioactive glasses is
proven to inhibit growth of different bacterial strains (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus)
without compromising the bioactivity of the glass [15].
This idea that cells can mechanistically protect themselves by progressively pumping out silver ions [16] or binding silver ions to
suitable molecules like metallothioneins [17] makes the class of
silver-containing bioactive glasses promising biomaterials with
anti-inflammatory properties. As can be seen from the growing
number of publications in the field (trend-line of Fig. 1), there has
been heightened interest in the incorporation of silver into bioactive
glass structures over the last decade.

2 Issues and challenges
Like any other novel medical therapy, a number of critical challenges and opportunities have yet to be considered. Although doping
with added metal ions seems to be a promising approach to enhance
the anti-bacterial characteristics of bioactive glasses, more detailed
analyses of the biological response of cells exposed to silver-containing bioactive glasses are needed to confirm the exact effects of silver
ions in the human body. While the concept of using silver in bioactive glasses is exciting, there are critical obstacles that may take
several years to overcome. Among issues that will determine the
practicality of the approach are:
• Bacterial resistance to silver. Even after extensive experience in
medical applications of silver, there are still concerns that overuse
of silver may lead to resistance among bacteria strains. Resistance
to silver by bacterial plasmids has been observed by researchers in
the field of molecular genetics [18]. This resistance to antimicrobial agents reportedly occurs via different mechanisms directly related to changes in the nature of the bacterial cell wall. The cell
boundary may act as a permeability barrier, reducing uptake of
the compound [19–21].
• Disruption of cell biochemistry. Since silver ions are a kind of
soft Lewis acid with an affinity to sulfur and nitrogen, it is possible for them to disturb biochemical processes by interaction with
thiol and amino groups of proteins, nucleic acids and cell membranes [22–23]. In addition, depending on involved cell type, reactive oxygen species could form when silver ions are released
from bioactive glasses [24–27]. These molecules can subsequently
react with various biological macromolecules, resulting in DNA
damage, oxidation of amino acids and oxidative inactivation of
specific enzymes.
• Toxicity of silver. The degree of silver toxicity is associated with
the volume of released ions. Besides the release behaviour of bioactive glasses, cellular uptake kinetics can play a significant role in
the bioavailability of these silver-containing materials [28–31].
When high concentrations of silver are present, there is danger of
silver distribution in the bloodstream and accumulation in different tissues and organs. The ions are then able to form harmful
complexes with widely separated biomolecules. Unfortunately,
published results on the silver release behaviour of bioactive
glasses are not strictly comparable due to their use of different
glass compositions and experimental conditions.
• Unknown effects of free silver ions. Silver-containing bioactive
glass releases silver ions that act as biochemically active agents. As
there are various ways for silver ions to disrupt biological processes, it is not possible to formulate general and simple rules about
the origins, toxic actions, and ultimate effects of the released ions.
The actual functions of many different mechanisms have yet to be
properly researched and understood.
• Biodegradation and dissolution of implants. The addition of
silver can also affect the structural and textural properties of bioactive glasses and raise their biodegradation and dissolution rates.
Increasing silver content makes glass structure very complex. It is
expected that the breakdown behaviour of this class of materials
will be greatly affected. Since silver ions are monovalent, replacing
silver by calcium in the glass structure could reduce the number
of non-bridging oxygen groups and decrease the glass dissolution
rate [32]. This suggests that more detailed studies on the structural properties of bioactive glasses are needed to design better
glasses that achieve controlled release behaviour by manipulating silver content.

3 Prospects
Although there are still major issues to overcome, the proponents of
this strategy are optimistic that silver-containing bioactive glasses
will be an effective approach to minimize the risk of infection in
implanted sites and will have an increasing impact on clinical applications. Extended research in materials science and the cellular biology aspects of this class of materials need to be conducted to fully
understand the processes involved in the antimicrobial properties of
silver. In addition, future in vivo and in vitro studies should systematically assess the various effects of silver on bioactive glasses. Interdisciplinary researches and effective collaborations can potentially
overcome the major issues related to bioactive silver use and make
this treatment a viable option in the near future.

The filter cake produced from the processing of juice purification during
the production of sugar from sugar-beet is a solid waste, which represents a major problem unless it is utilized. Accordingly, the aim of the
present work is to study the suitability of sugar-beet filter cake as a
novel starting material in the preparation of anorthite bodies. To synthesize anorthite bodies, El-Tieh kaolin (Al2O3·SiO2·2H2O) from Sinai, Egypt,
was used as a source of alumina and SiO2, while the filter cake was used
as a source of CaO. A predominant anorthite phase was found to be
present on sintering the anorthite batches at 1200 °C and up to 1350 °C
for 1 h. The prepared bodies possess a bending strength of 25.23 MPa
and a relative density of 64.5 %.
1 Introduction
Anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2) exhibits low thermal expansion coefficient of 4.8·10–6·K–1, low dielectric constant of 6.2 at 1 MHz [1],
and good wear resistance [2]. These properties nominate anorthite
to be a promising material for substrate applications in the electronics industry.
The theoretical composition of anorthite is 20.2 % CaO, 36.6 %
Al2O3, and 43.2 % SiO2 on weight basis. The natural anorthite mineral has triclinic symmetry with Ca2+ ions residing in the interstices
of the (Si-Al)-O tetrahedral framework [3].
The synthesis of anorthite was studied by using different methods,
such as sintering of mixtures of calcium carbonate, kaolinite, alumina and aluminium hydroxide in addition to mechanochemical
treatment or employing different sintering aids [2, 4–8). On the
other hand, Borglum et al. [9] and Tulyaganov [10] synthesized
anorthite either via hydrothermal processing of monocalcium aluminate and quartz at 200 °C or via the crystallization of glass having
a stoichiometric anorthite composition.
The utilization of some industrial waste in the manufacture of
anorthite has been studied recently by many authors. Kurama and
Ozel [11] used marble and gypsum moulded waste as a source of
CaO in the production of anorthite. They reported that anorthite
could be produced as the main phase above 1200 °C with a maximum density of 80 %. El-Maghraby et al. [12] stated in their study
that the gabbro plagioclase fraction concentrated from Egyptian
gabbro can be used as a raw material in the fabrication of anorthite
ceramics. They showed that an increase of the plagioclase fraction
content up to 70.75 mass-% leads to lowering the vitrification temperature of the bodies produced to 1175 °C. Sutcu and Akkurt [13]
produced porous anorthite ceramics from mixtures of paper
processing residues and clay of different sources. Their results indicated that anorthite formation was quite successful in samples with
30–40 mass-% of paper residues fired at 1300 °C. The samples produced were composed of anorthite as the major phase together with
some minor secondary phases such as mullite or gehlenite, depending on the calcite to clay ratio.
Sugar from sugar beet is produced in about 50 countries worldwide.
The by-products of a beet-sugar factory are: pulp, carbonation, lime
residue and molasses. Calcium hydroxide is used in sugar factories
beet-sugar manufacture,
anorthite, mechanical
properties, microstructure

in the juice-purification station to improve the quality of the beet
juice. After lime has been used, the juice is mixed with CO2, which
again precipitates lime in the form of calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate is then concentrated using cake filters to produce
carbonation-lime residue. The calcium carbonate residue stockpiled in the factory can take up space. Therefore, the sugar industry
has been trying to find different uses for this material [14]. Delta
sugar factories in El-Hamoul, Kafer El-Sheikh governorate, Egypt,
produce about 150,000 t of filter cake each year. During the processing season the filter cake is pumped out of the factory to storage regions which occupy about 80 feddan outside the factory and which
are considered as an environmental pollutant.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possibility of using
the sugar-beet industry filter cake by-product in the production of
anorthite bodies. The physical and mechanical properties of the resultant bodies were investigated together with their microstructure
and phase composition.

Filter cake obtained as a by-product from the sugar beet industry
was used as a source of CaO to fabricate anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2)
while, El-Tieh kaolin (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) from Sinai Egypt, was
used as a source of Al2O3 and SiO2 (Table 1) Both filter cake and
kaolin were mixed in proper amounts to get a 1 : 1 : 2 stoichiometric
anorthite mixture. A very small deficiency in the alumina stoichiometry was overcome by the addition of small amount of fine grade
calcined alumina (provided by Almatis GmbH Ludwigshafen,
Germany). For complete homogeneity, the stoichiometric anorthite
mixture was treated by a roller tank at 500 rounds per minute for
3 h.
The mixed component was moulded under a specific force of
60 kN/cm2. Discs of 2.5 cm diameter and 0.5 cm thickness, as well as
prisms of 5.0 cm × 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm were pressed to measure the
physicomechanical properties. Samples were dried at 110 °C overnight before firing at 1150 to 1350 °C with a firing interval of 50 °C.
The firing temperature was raised at a rate of 5 °C/min, followed by
a soaking time of 1 h at the peak temperature.

2.2 Characterization
Qualitative X-ray diffraction using a Philips X-ray diffractometer
(PW 1840) and Cu-K_ radiation were the tools used to identify the
crystalline phases appearing in the fired specimens. The bulk density was evaluated using the Archimedes method (ASTM C-20) with
water as the liquid medium. The three-point bending strength of
the fired samples was determined using a universal testing machine
(model 4204, Instron Corp., Danvers, Mass, USA) at a crosshead
speed of 1 mm/min. At least 10 specimens were measured. The
microstructure of the samples was investigated via SEM (model XL
30, Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands).

3 Results
The chemical analyses of the filter cake and El-Tieh kaolin used are
given in Table 1. The table shows that the filter cake is composed
mainly of calcium oxide together with minor amounts of SiO2 and
MgO.
The dependence of anorthite phase crystallization on firing temperature was reflected in XRD patterns (Fig. 1). The patterns showed
that all samples contain anorthite as the major phase irrespective of
the firing temperature Samples fired at 1150 °C showed the presence
of mullite, cristobalite, quartz and corundum phases. At 1200 °C the
XRD pattern shows anorthite and a minor amount of quartz, while
samples fired over 1200 °C and up to 1350 °C clearly indicated a
predominant anorthite phase.
The DTA and TG curves of the anorthite batch are shown in
Figs. 2–3. Two endothermic peaks and three exothermic peaks are
observed at 506.9, 704.9, 173.9, 397.2 and about 860 °C, respectively.
The first endothermic peak results from the dehydroxylation of

the crystallization of spinel phase from metakaolinite [15]. The first
and second exothermic peaks are due to the dehydration of the filter
cake. The TG curve shows a two-step reaction, with steep weight
losses at 550, and 700 °C corresponding to the dehydroxylation of
kaolinite and decomposition of Ca compounds.
It is widely recognized that the particle size of a ceramic body has a
significant impact on the packing efficiency, which in turn, influences the size and shape of pores, the shrinkage behaviour and
microstructure development [16]. The TEM micrograph (Fig. 4 a);
of the sugar-beet cake shows that it possess a fine particle size with a
diameter ranging between 14.6 and 51 nm. On the other hand, the
El-Tieh kaolin particle size ranges between 253 and 544 nm (Fig. 4 b).
Table 2 summarizes the physical and mechanical properties of a
fired anorthite body fired at 1300 °C/1 h. It shows that the samples
possess a relative density of 64.5 %, calculated from the true density
2.76 g/cm3 of triclinic anorthite. The samples’ three-point bending
strength was found to be 25.23 MPa.
SEM images of the fracture surface of the fired samples fired at
1350 °C are shown in Fig. 5, which illustrates randomly oriented
tabular and layered anorthite crystals with different geometric
shapes and sizes.
Figure 6 shows the microstructure of the bodies fired at 1150 °C
and indicates the formation of mullite phase. Relatively small size
mullite grains were formed on the surface of the quartz grains.
Samples fired at 1150 °C generally, revealed a fine grained matrix
of crystals (Fig. 7 a). On the other hand, samples fired at 1350 °C
were characterized by cuboids or lamellar crystals of anorthite
(Fig. 7 b).

4 Conclusions
• Results showed that the filter cake, obtained as a by-product of
beet-sugar manufacture can be used successfully as a CaO
source in the production of anorthite.
• XRD patterns showed that all samples composed of filter cake,
obtained as a by-product of beet-sugar manufacture and ElTieh kaolin contain anorthite as the major phase, irrespective of
firing temperature. Samples fired at 1150 °C contained anorthite
as major phase and also minor secondary phases such as mullite,
cristobalite, quartz and corundum phases. Firing over 1200 up
to 1350 °C clearly indicated a predominant anorthite phase.
• The three-point bending strength of the samples was found to be
25.23 MPa. The reason for this low bending strength is the low
density and high porosity of the samples.

Indurated lateritic blocks (yellow-brown and red) were collected from
two deposits in Yaoundé, Cameroon for investigation as structural building and construction materials. Dimensioned blocks were characterized
using XRD, DTA/TGA, mechanical compression, water absorption and
porosity tests, and examination by optical and electron microscope.
Water absorption values, pore size distribution and cumulative pore volume were used to compare indurated laterites with fired clay-based
bricks. Atmospheric exposure of the test specimens resulted in progressive strengthening of the matrix and transformation of yellow areas to a
browner colour. This confirms other observations in the literature which
describe induration as the transformation of goethite to hematite with
red matrix as the end step and most stable laterite form.
Presence of larger size pores and significant pore-to-surface area ratio
negatively affect the material’s compressive strength. However, due to
stability in water, blocks with significant phase distribution and amorphous interlinking are suitable as structural building and construction
materials.
1 Introduction
Laterites and lateritic soils are readily available in tropical and subtropical areas of the
world (38 % of the world’s land surface).
The name laterite is derived from the Latin
term “later”, meaning brick. The degree of
induration of the materials varies, ranging
from an almost loose, coherent mass with
very poor mechanical properties to the most
dense and hardened blocks. The hardness
of laterites is a function of its content in
iron oxides or hydroxides and the degree
of dehydration/desiccation of iron-based
minerals and other hydroxides [1–5].
Our objective was to investigate the use of
indurated materials as effective structural
products or raw materials for engineering
and to identify suitable applications for
looser laterite masses. In this first part we
characterize indurated laterites physicomechanically and present some basic conclusions on their suitability for building and
construction.
To understand the induration of laterites
requires consideration of a complex chemical system: Fe2O3–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O. A major
role is attributed to accumulation of iron via
dissolution and precipitation. Two important constituent laterite profiles [6–7] are
involved: goethite-diaspore and hematitecorundum. Both are solid solutions of crystallized iron-rich oxihydroxides. Nuclide
nodule concretions with high concentration
of iron always form within a kaolinite soil
matrix. Al-hematite and Al-goethite displace clay through an epigenetic process.
The distribution of the Fe3+-kaolinite, Al3+goethite and Al3+-hematite as well as iron
and aluminium content is controlled by silica activity [6–7]. Goethite precipitates in
large pores in contact with quartz grains,
while hematite forms in the smallest pores
of kaolinite. In natural and synthetic
goethite, substitutions of Al3+ for Fe3+ range
from 0 to 33 mol-% of AlO(OH) [8–11]. In
natural and synthetic hematite, substitution
consumes between 0 and 15 mol-% of Al2O3
[11–15]. Various authors have shown that
an increasing substitution of iron by aluminium in kaolinite induces a diminution
of crystallinity and an increase in disordering [15–18]. The degree of substitution of
Al3+ for Fe3+ in goethite or hematite and
corresponding degree of substitution of Fe3+
for Al3+ in kaolinite is highly variable under
natural conditions. These substitutions affect the crystallinity and solubility of the
goethite, hematite and kaolinite minerals
present in laterites. The highest aluminium
content in hematite form is found together

with maximum development of nodules
and maximum dissolution of kaolinite.
High aluminium content in goethite is
found accompanying the first stage of rehydration of Al-hematite together with a
dismantling of nodular horizon. Presence of
alkalis and formation of disordered kaolinite and amorphous phases enhance polycondensation and formation of films with
binder properties that are able to induce
induration.
Factors controlling the formation of indurated laterite matrices include grain size,
precipitation kinetics and equilibrium conditions involving water activity. In the first
steps of the induration, very small sized
mottles and concretions form that are mostly hematite and goethite. Tiny particles of
size about 100 Å suggest the significant influence of water action and dehydration.
During the last steps, goethite appears in
quite well-formed crystals with size about
1 μm, Schwertmann et al. [13] and Maignien
[16] found that rapid release of Fe and low
concentration of organic compounds favours hematite formation, while high organic compound concentration promotes
goethite. For kinetic reasons, goethite is
more common than hematite, but after
hematite is created, it does not rehydrate to
form coarse goethite. In tropical areas,
kaolinite generally contains quartz sand.
During induration, iron accumulation is
,17(5&(5$0
5$:0$7(5,$/6:25/':,'(
essentially due to leaching of iron from sand
to clay. The driving force of the migration
and accumulation of iron is suggested to be
differences in the size of pores, which tends
to be accentuated as concretion proceeds
[6]. Because of its porosity, kaolinite will
normally fix water much more readily than
quartz. When the pressure of water is higher,
water-filled pores of quartz become important. The details of each situation affect the
formation of nodules and concretions.
Schellmann’s chemical and mineralogical
results [17] show that the primary minerals
are generally not fully dissolved but are partially transformed into secondary minerals
that are more stable.
In this work we collected metastable laterite
samples with high goethite content and a
stable matrix with high hematite concentration from two different deposits in Cameroon (Yaoundé). We studied the series of
samples for their suitability as structural
matrices for building applications. The suitability of lateritic concretions as materials
for building structures is dependent on the
stability of the Al-goethite and its progressive replacement by hematite under the influence of temperature, atmosphere and
humidity. As induration proceeds, structural strength is enhanced. The interaction of
goethite mottles and high water content (in
a tropical zone) results in hardened matrix
over time, through loss of water and progressive transformation of goethite to hematite. During building block use, this transformation does not reverse.
2 Petrology of Yaoundé region
(Cameroon)
In the region of Yaoundé, thick plates appear on the Precambrian lateritic land profile, mainly composed of migmatitic and
gneiss bedrock. These rocks have undergone
significant weathering in the humid tropical
climate and the final stage of laterization of
the soil is reflected in the crustal horizon or
“duricrust”. Laterite is generally observed in
the “median horizon” of the weathering
profile. This hardened horizon is red or
yellow with a vacuolar texture. Its thickness
and hardness are variable and often includes
a mixed-clay fraction. Geological work on
the plates in the Yaoundé area [18–19]
shows that the different stages of their formation can be understood through examination of the weathering profile, as follows,
from bottom to top:
• In the alteration layer, there is a fragmentation and dispersion of quartz veins containing microscopic crystallites of kaolinite. The matrix, saturated with kaolinite
through a system of fine porosity micro-
pores, is the site of accumulation of iron
as goethite.
• The median layer contains brown
goethitic deposits, highly substituted for
alumina, together with gibbsite nodules
containing abundant garnets surrounded
by aluminium oxides. Inside the nodules
and kaolinite crystals, goethite is transformed into fine crystals of hematite [4].
The microporosity of kaolinite enhances
accumulation of iron. Kaolinite will not
dissolve or dissolves very slowly where
quartz remains in the matrix [2, 4]. As
iron content increases, a “duricrusting”
mechanism progresses if and only if the
hematite content is able to outweigh the
goethite [4].
• In the red surface layer, we observe a redistribution of iron in the bleached region
around micro-cracks, and significant loss
results in wide micro-cracks. This induces
a growing illuviation of clay toward the
surface. When iron content is high and the
quartz fraction is low by weight (less than
10 mass-%), replacement of kaolinite and
hematite by aluminous goethite seems to
be triggered. Widespread change occurs as
disappearing “host attractive iron” (hematite) in the kaolinite causes a loss of stability in the structure of nodules [2, 4]. A system that previously tended toward closure
(nodulation) passes to a system that is
open (destruction of nodules). This opening process is enhanced as the surface
horizon becomes waterlogged in the rainy
season. Hydration promotes transformation of hematite to goethite and kaolinite
to gibbsite, marked by a concentric pattern of goethite observed around nodules
[19]. It ultimately leads to degradation of
the formerly sharply-defined nodules and
the integrity of the massive plate. Iron and
aluminium freed from the upper profile
later migrate downwards during favourable climatic conditions to participate in
the duricrusting mechanism [2, 4, 18].
Even if iron content is high, the ferruginous accumulation is not extensive, since
the iron is in the form of goethite [2, 4].
The stability of indurated structures seems
be ensured if a threshold amount of kaolinite remains inside the nodules. If the
kaolinite is hydrated and then replaced by
aluminium goethite or gibbsite nodules,
stability is no longer guaranteed [2, 4].
Hydration and disintegration take over,
preventing dehydration and encrustation.
Goethite appears as a identifying marker or
may be an agent in the dismantling of the
plates [3, 7]. Mottled clay at the base of the
surface profile and the horizon gravel, and
sensitivity to climatic fluctuations are the
two Achilles heels of encrustation. Quartz
favours creation of leaching structures while
aluminium promotes kaolinite abundance
and provides a facility for the accumulation
of iron.
3 Materials and experimental
3.1 Materials
The two studied laterite formations were
located at Yaoundé, in quarries exploited for
the production of construction gravel. The
geographical coordinates for collection of
red and yellow samples were: N03°50.138’,
E011°28.665’ and N03°52.781’, E011°25.161’
at altitudes of 748 m and 761 m. The two
quarries are both situated in high hills with
indurated laterites available throughout
their entire volume. The geological profile at
the sites consists of three levels of superficial
lateritic material overlaid above migmatitic
rock. Classical materials are observed from
the base to the top: an isalteritic layer; an
iron nodular layer with blocks of duricrust,
currently being dismantled; and a surface
clayey layer. Two colours of duricrust were
sampled, red and yellow. The red duricrust
contained very hard nodules >50 mm in
diameter, while crumbly nodules (0.5 and
1 mm in diameter) were in the yellow
duricrust. The samples were labelled RG
(red duricrust) and YW (yellow duricrust).
Rectangular block specimens (16 cm × 4 cm
× 4 cm) were made by sawing the samples
using a Clipper device. Very small samples
(2 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm) from homogeneous
highly-indurated areas of the sample material were also prepared to assess the continuity of the matrices.
3.2 Experimental
3.2.1 Water absorption, density, porosity and
compressive strength
The two laterite samples were physically
characterized by measuring their apparent
density, water absorption, compressive
strength, structure and porosity. Water absorption and bulk density were measured
on sectioned samples using Archimedes’
principle. The final values were an average
of measurements for three specimens of
each indurated laterite.
An AutoPore IV 9500 mercury intrusion
porosimeter (MIP) with two low-pressure
ports and a high-pressure chamber was
used, covering a pore diameter range from
approximately 360 to 0.005 μm. Specimens
of ~ 1 cm3 volume from mechanical test
samples were used. The measurement involved: (1) a low-pressure test with a penetrometer (from 0 to 50 psia/345 kpa, resolution 0.01psi, with pore diameter 360 to
3.6 μm and transducer accuracy of +1 of

+1 of full scale). After sample weight, analysis conditions, penetrometer properties and
report options are set, the AutoPore software automatically records the porosity data
measurements.
Mercury porosimetry is based on a capillary
law governing liquid penetration into small
pores. This law, in the case of a non-wetting
liquid like mercury and cylindrical pores, is
expressed by the Washburn equation:
冢冣
1
D=–
4 acos p
where D is pore diameter, p the applied
pressure, a the surface tension, and is
contact angle, all in consistent units. The
surface tension of mercury varies with its
purity. The generally recommended value
used for the test was 485 dynes/cm. The
contact angle between mercury and the test
solid containing pores varies depending on
solid composition. A value of 130 ° is recommended in the absence of specific information to the contrary.
The volume of mercury V penetrating the
pores is measured directly as a function of
applied pressure. This p-V information
serves as a unique characterization of pore
structure. Equation (1) uses a specialized
model that assumes pores are cylindrical in
shape. As this is rarely the case for real materials, the model may not accurately represent actual pores, but its use is generally accepted as a practical means for treating what
would otherwise be a most complex problem. Mercury extrusion from pores upon reduction of pressure is also in general accord
with equation (1), but it tends to overestimate the size of pore diameters. Mercury
extrudes at pressures lower than those at
which the pores were filled. This is usually
attributed to receding contact angles being
less than advancing ones. It is also commonly observed that actual pores always trap
some of the mercury. This is likely due to
pore irregularities giving rise to enlarged
internal chambers and “inkwell” structures.
These two phenomena give rise to hysteresis
behaviour in plotted P-V curves, i.e. distinct
intrusion and extrusion paths.
The concept of tortuosity can be used to describe compaction of the structural matrix in
materials. For semi-vitrified bodies, it refers
to the ratio of diffusivity in free space to diffusivity in the porous medium. Tortuosity
can be quantified by the use of 3D reconstructions, where the sum of distances between intermediate centroids of the pore is
divided by the Euclidean length of the pore.
The compressive strength of the samples was
measured with a “Perrier” compression testing machine with a displacement of 1 mm/
min for larger samples of dimensions 5 cm ×
5 cm × 14 cm. An MTS 810 material testing
machine was used for small samples (1 cm ×
1 cm × 2 cm) selected from material having
homogeneous area with high densification
and low inclusions. Both compressive tests
were done under maximum loading of
5000 kN. The results shown here are averages from tests on three similar specimens.
Mineralogical analyses were carried out
with a Philips Model PW 3710 X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD; Cu-K_, Ni-filtered
radiation). The XRD testing was performed
on finely-ground RG and YW powder samples.
Differential thermal analysis (DTA/TGA)
was performed on the two samples, using a
Netzsch STA 429 CD unit in air atmosphere.
The analysis was carried out on ground
powders at a heating rate of 10 °C/min in
platinum-rhodium crucibles using calcined
alumina as reference.
3.2.2 Stereomicroscopy and scanning
electronic microscope analysis
Pieces of size 1 cm × 1 cm × 0.3 cm fractured by mechanical testing were polished
(using diamond paste after grinding with
silicon carbide powders and water) for surface observations with an Olympus SZX10
DFPlan stereoscope.
The polished surfaces were washed with
acetone, dried and gold-coated for image
analysis using SEM. A scanning electron
microscope equipped with an EDS detector
(operating at 20 kV) was used for microstructural examination of the specimens
with secondary electron images (SEI) and
back scattered images (BSI). Microanalysis
for phase identification and distribution
was performed using the embedded EDS
digital controller and control software.
4 Results
4.1 Phases, structure and microstructure
of indurated laterites
Typical morphology for the indurated laterite matrices is shown in Fig. 1 a for the RG
sample and in Fig. 1 b for YW. Both materials have structural concretions in which
various amounts of kaolinite fill pores and
micro-cracks. The matrices are heterogeneous where components can be identified.
The images show:
• Porous, high ferruginous areas with open
cavities of relatively large size for hematite
(Fig. 1 a) and goethite nodules (Fig. 1 b)
• Compact and dense regions having significant hardness and very low porosity.
,17(5&(5$0
5$:0$7(5,$/6:25/':,'(
These areas are completely red in the
hematite-based indurated laterites and
yellow in the goethite-based indurated
specimens (Fig. 2)
• Micro-nodule matrix transitions between
yellow and red matrix where there is a
mix of hematite and goethite nodules of
size smaller than completely mature nodules
• Areas of yellow non-porous matrix mass
essentially rich in kaolinite.
The different areas are cemented together
but show evidence of discontinuity in their
engineering properties (e.g. hardness, density, porosity). The phenomenon of induration generates this coarse structure and enhances porosity within specimen samples.
Figure 3 shows selected micrographs illustrating the microstructural features of the
RG (Figs. 3 a–b) and YW samples (Figs. 3
c–d). The RG matrix has high iron concentration (XRD in Fig. 4 a). The iron crust
here has a sheet structure, although in isolated areas a globular iron structure is
dominant. The spectrum of the YW matrix
(Fig. 4 b) shows higher concentrations of
alumina and silica compared to RG. This
high alumina and silica content comes from
kaolinite. Microstructural investigations
have demonstrated that YW is dominated
by the typical situation displayed in Fig. 3 c,
a matrix with three distinct areas. In the first
region (K), iron accumulation is advanced,
with a mixture of iron in sheet structure and
globular form, as can be observed under
high magnification (Fig. 3 d). In this area,
the kaolinite that has already resisted dissolution and transformation is visible within
the iron crust and is completely dehydrated.
The second area (FN) is dominated by a significant concentration of iron-rich nuclide
nodules. In this region, the nuclide nodules
are still mixed with clay in a compact structure leaving few voids. Figure 3 c shows the
direction of transformation of matrix to
iron crust through arrows situated in the
third, transitional area between the kaolinite-rich and nuclide nodule regions. These
results demonstrate that the YW sample has
not reached its final step of laterite transformation as indicated in the literature. The
YW sample is essentially made up of
goethite. In this case, additional weathering
would eventually result in a hematite-based
iron crust end-product with low kaolinite
inclusion as in the RG sample.
Further analysis of the iron crusts in the two
samples shows that those from the sample
RG (Fig. 5 a) can be described as mostly
homogeneous Fe2O3-based sheet structure
matrix in which some FeOOH globular
structures are dispersed (Fig. 5 b). As evi-

denced by EDS analysis, the iron crust in RG
is dominated by hematite with atomic ratio
2 : 3 between iron and oxygen. Sample YW
contains a mix between goethite and hematite in a complex geometry with high heterogeneity.
XRD patterns of the two indurated laterites
(RG and YW) are shown superimposed in
Figs. 6 a–b. The minerals present in the two
materials, kaolinite, quartz, goethite, hem-
atite, anatase, and ilmenite, are very similar. Larger magnification (Fig. 6 b) shows
significant amorphous phase, quartz and
hematite present in the RG sample. The
amorphous phase can be attributed to silica accumulated during induration. The
presence of amorphous silica and quartz is
generally at the expense of kaolinite. According to Tardy et al. [2, 4, 6], dissolution
of kaolinite precedes laterite iron-accumu-

lation. The indurated laterite RG contained
higher goethite and kaolinite content compared to YW. The difference in colour of
the two studied plates (red for RG and yellow for YW) likely arises from the more
predominant proportion of goethite in RG
and hematite in YW [18–21]. The two samples were collected from deposits already
under exploitation, so it is difficult to assess the effect of atmospheric air exposure
at each location. However, the large volume
of previously excavated blocks indurated
enough to be considered for structural use
indicates that the deposit formed and hardened many years ago.
Lecomte-Nana [22] and many other authors
that studied Yaoundé region deposits suggest that progressive accumulation of iron
with dissolution of kaolinite is the mechanism for formation of indurated matrices in
tropical humid climates. This mechanism
can be adopted for the Yaoundé deposits
investigated in this study. The laterite samples studied by Lecomte-Nana [22] had similar mineralogy, also containing kaolinite,
quartz, hematite and goethite. The indurated samples in our work had less kaolinite
and greater goethite/hematite content. As
observed by Schellmann [17], the primary
minerals are generally not fully dissolved
but are partially transformed into secondary
minerals that are more stable under intensive weathering.
Figures 7 a–b shows the thermochemical
transformation of the two laterites under
increasing temperature. From the DTA
curves of Fig. 7 a, a very small endothermic
peak is observed before 200 °C for both
goethite and hematite-based indurated laterites. This is confirmed by a mass loss on
ignition of less than 2 mass-% (Fig. 7 b).
The endothermic peak at 345 °C corresponds to transformation of goethite to
hematite following the equation:
(2)
The intensity of the peak is greater for YW
than for RG. At this stage, the total weight
loss is 4.2 mass-% for RG and 5.4 mass-%
for the YW sample. These results are consistent with mineralogical observations that
goethite content is higher when kaolinite is
still present and that transformation of
goethite to hematite is linked to reduction
of kaolinite. At temperatures of 529 °C and
532 °C, a significant endothermic peak characterizes the departure of structural water
from the kaolinite in the indurated RG and
YW laterites. The intensity of the RG endothermic peak is a consequence of its high
kaolinite content, as noted previously. The
weight loss corresponding to dehydroxylation of RG was 4.1 mass-% and the value for
YW was 9.08 mass-%. The small endothermic peak at 577 °C observed for laterite RG
is attributed to transformation of _-quartz
to `-quartz. The absence of this feature in
the YW sample suggests that its quartz content was comparatively low. These observations are in agreement with XRD patterns.
The exothermic peaks present at 974 °C are
similar to the paired endothermic peaks at
529 and 532 °C. They indicate formation of
spinel (SiO2·Al2O3) or mullite (2SiO2·3Al2O3).
In the study materials, decomposition of
kaolinite and formation of mullite or spinel
takes place at relatively low temperatures. In
standard kaolinite, decomposition generally
occurs at 575 °C and mullite forms at temperatures >980 °C. The accumulated iron
affects the kaolinite structure, reducing
crystallinity [6–10] and enhancing the kinetics of decomposition.
4.2 Porosity, densification and mechanical
properties
The two indurated materials have porous
structure. The cumulative pore volumes of
0.160 ml/g for RG and 0.110 ml/g for YW
(Fig. 8) are close to that of fired bricks or

concrete cement [22]. From Fig. 8 b, the
mean pore size is concentrated between 0.01
and 0.1 μm. Large pores are randomly dispersed in both matrices (Figs. 9 a–b) and in
some cases are larger than the range of
measurement of the mercury intrusion
porosimeter used in the study. Large pores
(q >300 μm) are commonly observed in
goethite and hematite-based indurated laterites. The fraction of pores with diameter
>363 μm was 2.14 vol.-% for both samples.
24.30 vol.-% (RG) and 30 vol.-% (YW) of
pores have diameter >7.6 μm. RG has
55 vol.-% of pores with diameter <0.1 μm
while YW has 43.5 vol.-%. Figure 9 shows
that the pores with diameter >1 μm have
highly variable size and this can explain why
no clear peaks are observed in the interval
between 1 and 363 μm in Fig. 8 b. The variations in observed pore size reflect the heterogeneous nature of the two matrices. For
sample RG pores with size less than 0.1 μm,
a volume peak is observed at 0.05 μm to-

same size interval, sample YW has a significant peak at 0.0062 μm, together with lesser
peaks at 0.028 and 0.01 μm.
Water absorption after 24 h immersion was
11 % for sample RG and 13.5 % for YW.
Bulk density was 2.38 g/cm3 for RG and
2.27 g/cm3 for YW (Table 1). Compressive
strength was measured as 3.46 MPa for randomly chosen RG samples and 2.30 MPa for
YW, increasing to 12.4 MPa and 8.9 MPa,
respectively, when well-indurated homogeneous samples were tested. In general, RG
had lower water absorption, higher compressive strength, more cumulative pore
volume and greater total porosity than YW
(Tables 1–2). The total pore area is also
higher for RG than YW (14.49 m2/g compared to 9.85 m2/g). Finally, the tortuosity of
sample YW was 16.58 and 7.70 for RG.
These observations show that the RG sample had a relatively more porous structure
than YW, which might be due to the fact
that the final step of induration removes
water and kaolinite which, when present, interfere with fine-scale porosity and increase
tortuosity. Although it has lower cumulative
pore volume and total porosity and greater
tortuosity, the YW sample has less compressive strength and lower density. This is explained by the fact that a significant portion
of the kaolinite present in the laterite matrix
is loosely linked to the structure and does
not provide enough bonding strength to
enhance matrix integrity. The induration of
the YW samples also appears to be less extensive. It is reasonable to suppose, as stated
in the literature, that the YW deposit has
made less progress in transformation to a
more hardened form through replacement
of goethite by hematite. Moreover, the formation of indurated hematite-based lateritic concretes takes place in the context of a
relative absence of water. This results in
desiccation, volume contraction, formation

Fig. 8 a • Cumulative pore volume (mL/g) of the two indurated laterites

affect the porosity values measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry.
The compressive mechanical strength of
indurated laterites was found to be essentially a function of its heterogeneity and
porosity. This was clearly demonstrated by
the compressive strength differences measured between the large and small test samples. While it is possible to have small volumes of coherent, homogeneous laterite
matrix, it is difficult to have continuity
across larger-scale structures and phases.
When multiplicities of small integrated
volumes occur, the connections between
them are generally of heterogeneous character. This study provides evidence implicating the role of local heterogeneities in
the failure process of indurated laterites.
This heterogeneity and variations in porosity and pore size distribution, act to diminish the high connectivity and compressive
strength of the isolated, small-sized, coherent and homogeneous indurated matrix
components. Interactions between phases
are common in indurated laterites because
they normally contain various minerals (of
coarsening structure), pores and microfractures which can be fluid or kaolinitefilled. Digitized stereoscope microstructure
image data can be used to measure the
characteristics of these different minerals,
pores and micro-fractures and quantify the
degree of heterogeneity.
5 Discussion and conclusions
Efficient and economic utilization of laterite-based materials for various structural
applications is a necessity and a challenge
for the tropical and subtropical areas of the
world. It is more common for people living
in these areas to have exploitable laterite

properties and can be developed into new
materials for building and construction.
Even where deposits are not directly exposed in readily-accessible matrices of appropriate strength, mottled areas can be
exposed to the atmosphere and sun and selfindurate, resulting in hardened blocks and a
simple, efficient production cycle for creation of structural materials.
This investigation of material from two indurated lateritic Yaoundé deposits examined matrices with relatively high porosity,
including large size pores. In the case of the
YW deposit, these pores were partly filled
with kaolinite, inducing a decrease in cumulative pore volume and an increase in
tortuosity. We conclude with the following
summary remarks about our results:
• The two studied indurated laterite deposits contained kaolinite, quartz and ilmenite as common minerals. The RG sample
contained more hematite than goethite
iron minerals, while YW showed the presence of greater goethite content than
hematite. The iron phases in RG were pre-
dominately in sheet structure form and
YW had more globular iron.
• Local heterogeneity couples with variations in porosity and pore size distribution to bring down the compressive
strength of indurated matrices and compromise the connectivity and strength of
isolated coherent and homogeneous component volumes. Interactions that promote failure between phases are common
in indurated laterites due to the presence
of various coarse minerals, pores, and
micro fractures that can be fluid or kaolinite-filled.
• Digitized stereoscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) image data of
laterite microstructure, such as the characteristics of different minerals, pores and
micro-fractures, can be used to quantify
the level of heterogeneity.
• Better understanding of the mechanisms
and capacity of laterite matrices to form
hardened body structures is important
and crucial for potential expanded use of
the materials. Improved exploitation of
laterite matrices is certainly possible.

Laterite phases were found to be connected by cement-like material identified as
amorphous silica. It is suggested that as
substitution of iron in kaolinite occurs, its
crystallinity is diminished and disordering
increases [15–18]. This disorder directly
affects dissolution and polycondensation
of the kaolinite matrix. Singh and Gilkes
[23] attributed the induration of kaolinitebased laterites to the presence of amorphous
silica from organic matter. Wetting and
drying cycles induce growth of a silica layer
deposited by the dissolution of embedded
organic matter. The deposited silica is absorbed on the kaolinite surface and eventually welds adjacent laterite phases at their
points of contact [23]. Even less than
5 mass-% silica content is sufficient to bind
the whole matrix without filling pore space
to a significant extent. This is in agreement
with microstructural observations of the
mineralogy of the two indurated laterites
under study. Major amorphous silica phase
was identified in RG, the more hardened of
the two samples. It provides strength and
connectivity between coarse phases, allowing the matrices to remain porous with
transformed iron sheet-based structures.
The laterite concretes have micro-, mesoand macro-pores which negatively affect the
final mechanical properties and limit many
potential uses of the materials. However,
when use is appropriate for an application,
the materials are a promising alternative to
many conventional building and construction materials otherwise produced at the
expense of the environment [24, 25]. Houses, internal structures, bridges, roads, and
other constructions can be built using indurated laterites which display high density,
low water absorption and good long-term
stability. Their integrity is insured by the
cement-like amorphous filler materials that
hold the laterite structure together.
The results of this study add to understanding of hardened lateritic concretes and can
be important in drawing a protocol for production and preparation of dimensioned
laterite blocks for structural applications.
Natural pieces, easily dimensioned, when
used for building and construction are
economically suitable, energy-efficient and
environmentally friendly. Their physical
properties (water absorption between 11
and 13.5 mass-%, density ~2 g/cm3, stability
in water, and the intrinsic strength of the
interconnections between coarse phases)
allows their classification as alternative
hollow bricks. Through intelligent and economical utilization of this technology and
related products, the countries of tropical
areas, and particularly Cameroon, can produce construction materials and enhance
building practices, while helping to save nature and the environment.

The Umm Had area is easily accessible following the Qusier-Qift asphalt
road. Microscopically and petrochemically, Umm Had granitic rocks are
classified into monzogranite, syenogranite and alkali feldspar granite.
Granite represents a good source for the alkali oxides (K2O + Na2O) contained in the potash feldspar minerals (orthoclase and microcline) and
the sodic plagioclase feldspar mineral (albite). These alkali feldspar minerals represent the main fluxing materials in ceramic recipes.
A series of ceramic recipes was prepared by adding 30, 50, 60 and
70 mass-% of granite from Umm Had area, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt
into the batch compositions. The sintering behaviour and degrees of
densification of the ceramic bodies were evaluated by determining their
physico-mechanical properties and characterizing them by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Samples
with 30, 50 and 60 mass-% granite fired at 1150 °C for 1 h showed a
higher bulk density ()2.47g/cm3) and bending strength (30 and 36 MPa).
However, the G70 sample fired at 1100 °C for 1 h showed a slightly decreased density value (2.40 g/cm3) and bending strength (25 MPa). The
increased physico-mechanical properties were mainly due to lower water
adsorption ()0.87%), in addition to the major crystalline phases and
glassy matrix formed during the firing process. These results illustrate
the possibility of utilizing granite in ceramic tile production.
1 Introduction
The Umm Had area is a part of the Central
Eastern Desert of Egypt. The area is easily
accessible from the east following the Red
Sea highway along the coast to Quseir city
(Fig. 1). The Qusier-Qift asphalt road leads
to the area in the south and connects the
River Nile with the Red Sea coast. The easy
accessibility and the fact that granite is to be
found there may encourage the construction of ceramic factories as well as the sustainable development and civilization in the
Central Eastern Desert of Egypt.
The geological, petrological, mineralogical,
geochemical, petrochemical, geochronological “age dating” and geotectonics studies;
assessment of ornamental stones, as well as
the remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques in the Umm
Had area have attracted the attention of
many authors, e.g. [1–9].
The most used raw materials in traditional
ceramic industries can be basically divided
into three categories: plastic components
(clay), fluxing components (feldspars) and
inert components (quartz, sand). Many authors have demonstrated the possibility of a
successful substitution of feldspars (flux) by
other natural resource rocks with comparable chemical composition, such as zeolites
[10], volcanic rocks and others in the production of ceramic bodies [11–15]. Fluxes
are raw materials with a high amount of
alkaline oxides, mainly K2O and Na2O which
in reaction with silica and alumina, promote
liquid phase formation that facilitates the
densification. The liquid phase surrounds
the solid particles and by surface tension
enables the approach of particles, closing
the porosity [16, 17]. The substitution of
feldspars by other rocks can be used in the
range of 15–75 mass-% for both conventional and fast firing regimes. Previous work
reported that the granite could be used to

improve the mechanical properties, workability and chemical resistance of conventional concrete mixtures. Moreover, granite
was also investigated and found to be suitable as a feldspathic raw material that forms a
glassy matrix at lower temperatures for the
manufacture of floor tiles [18–20], porcelainized stoneware and tiles [21, 22], redclay ceramics [23], bricks [24], glass [25]
and glass-ceramics [26], and glaze [27, 28].
The use of granite in ceramic bodies industries after detecting its potentialities is today
considered as an activity to diversify products, decrease final costs as well as to provide
alternative raw materials to a series of industrial sectors.
Therefore, the aim of this work is the chemical and mineralogical characterization of
granite from the Umm Had area, Central
Eastern Desert (Egypt) for their utilization
in the formulation of new stoneware ceramic bodies. Also, the effects of granite flux
(30–70 mass-%) on the densification properties, crystalline phases and microstructure
of the prepared bodies were investigated.

2 Materials and methods
The geologic map of Umm Had area has
modified using the Remote Sensing and the
Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. The mineralogical composition and
petrographic study of the granite were accomplished in thin sections using Research
Polarizing Microscope and some polished
surfaces of the granite were also studied
using Research Ore Microscope for their
opaque minerals content.
2.1 Geological setting
The Umm Had area lies in the Central
Eastern Desert of Egypt between latitudes
26°00’–26°06’ N and longitudes 33°27’–
33°36’ E (Fig. 2). The studied area covered
the following rock varieties: metasediments
(amphibolites), serpentinite, metavolcanics,
Hammamat sediments, Dokhan volcanics,
post-Hammamat felsite, Umm Had younger
granites (monzogranite, syenogranite and
alkali feldspar granite) and Nubian sandstone. The field observations of the granite
are shown in Figs. 3a, b, and c.
2.2 Processing
The main raw materials used to formulate
the various experimental mixtures include
Tieh clay (from Sinai, Egypt) and granite
(from the Umm Had area, Central Eastern
Desert, Egypt). Chemical analyses of the raw
materials (Table 1) were carried out at the
National Research Centre in Egypt using an
XRF wavelength dispersive spectrometer
(Axios Advanced, PANalytical 2005).
Table 2 illustrates the batch composition of
the four formulations processed in the
present work. Granite was added at the cost
of Tieh clay with 30, 50, 60 and 70 mass-%.
These batches are referred to in the text as
G30, G50, G60 and G70, respectively. The
mass fractions required for the various formulations were wet mixed in a ball mill for
1 h. The dried powders were processed in the
form of discs 2.5 cm in diameter and 0.3 cm
in thickness under a pressure of 20 kN.
These discs were used to determine the physical properties. The specimens were dried at
110 °C and fired between 1000 and 1200 °C
for 1 h. The firing schedule comprised heating, soaking at maximum temperature for
1 h and cooling to room temperature in 2 h.

water absorption, and apparent porosity
were determined by using the Archimedes
water displacement method, as specified by
the ISO 10545-3 Standard. Linear shrinkage
was determined according to ASTM C356-03.
Bars with dimension (1 × 1 × 7 cm) were
processed under the same conditions and
fired at selected maturing temperatures to
measure the modulus of rupture by a threepoint method using the Instron Machine
type 1128 Universal Testing. The micro-
structure of the fired bodies was examined
by using an electron-probe microanalyzer
(EPMA, model: JEOL-JAX-840A, Japan) under operating conditions of 30 kV, attached
to an EDAX unit for microanalysis. Specimens were mechanically polished, chemically etched by 20 % hydrofluoric acid solution
for 30 s, thoroughly washed, dried and gold
sputtered. The crystalline phases were identified by XRD analysis using Bruker apparatus, Axs, D8-ADVANCE (Germany, 2001).

3.1 Characterization of the raw materials
3.1.1 Microscopical investigations
Migascopically, Umm Had granitic rocks are
hard and massive; they exhibit medium to
coarse grains with pink and buff colours.
Microscopically, Umm Had granitic rocks
are divided into monzogranite, syenogranite
and alkali feldspar granite. The granite represents a good source for the alkali oxides
(K2O + Na2O) contained in potash feldspar
minerals (orthoclase and microcline) and

the sodic plagioclase feldspar mineral
(albite). These alkali feldspar minerals represent the main fluxing materials in the
ceramic industries. The granite is holocrystalline, coarse-grained, non-porphyritic
with subhedral-granular and perthitic textures (Figs. 3d, e). The essential minerals are
composed of potash feldspars (orthoclase
and microcline), quartz, sodic plagioclase
feldspar (albite) and biotite. The accessory
minerals include sphene, apatite and
opaques “martite” (Fig. 3f). The secondary
minerals (alteration products) are represented by sericite, muscovite and chlorite.
• Orthoclase (K,Na) AlSi3O8 occurs as
colourless allotriomorphic equigranular
crystals. Albite is commonly intergrown
with orthoclase to form orthoclaseperthite, which exhibits a perthitic texture
(Figs. 3d, e). Sometimes, orthoclase is
sericitized (altered) to sericite. Sericite is a
minutely crystalline variety of muscovite.
• Microcline (KAlSi3O8) occurs as colourless subidiomorphic to allotriomorphic
equigranular crystals. Albite is commonly
intergrown with microcline to form microcline-perthite, which exhibits perthitic
texture. Microcline exhibits polysynthetic
twinning. Sometimes, microcline is sericitized (altered) to sericite.
• Albite (NaAlSi3O8) occurs as colourless
idiomorphic to subidiomorphic equigranular crystals, which exhibit a subhedralgranular texture. It is distinguished by its
albite-type lamellar twinning. Sometimes, albite is also sericitized (altered)
to sericite.
• Biotite K2(Mg,Fe)2(OH)2(AlSi3O10) forms
brown pleochroic subidiomorphic equigranular crystals. Sometimes, biotite is
altered to chlorite associated with opaques.
• Quartz (SiO2) occurs as colourless allotriomorphic equigranular crystals. The
mineral corrodes orthoclase, microcline,
albite, biotite and opaques.
• Opaques are mainly represented by martite (Fe2O3), which occurs as allotriomorphic aggregates pseudomorphs after magnetite (Fe3O4). It contains a few relics of
pre-existing magnetite. The mineral is
highly corroded and can be replaced by
silicate gangue minerals (Fig. 3f).
3.1.2 Chemical and mineralogical analyses
Figure 4 shows the XRD patterns of Tieh clay
and granite. It can be seen that the clay contains kaolinite and quartz. The granite contains quartz, together with feldspar minerals
such as microcline (KAlSi3O8) and minor
amounts of albite (NaAlSi3O8). The minerals identified by XRD are in agreement with
the results obtained by XRF (Table 1).

ume fraction and the extremely small size.
This might prove to be evidence of the formation of a primary mullite that did not
develop sufficiently at lower temperatures.
It is well known that at a temperature of
650 °C decomposition of kaolinite with the
formation of metakaolinite becomes thermodynamically possible:
Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O A Al2O3·2SiO2 + 2H2O
The transformation of metakaolinite to
mullite becomes thermodynamically favourable at temperatures above 962 °C:

of fired granite bodies
3.2 Characterization of the fired bodies
3.2.1 Scanning electron micrograph
SEM of polished and etched samples G30,
G50, G60 fired at 1150 °C and G70 fired at
1100 °C are shown in Fig. 5a–d. A study of
the microstructural reveals that all samples
contain patches of acicular mullite crystallites phase embedded in the glassy matrix;
large undissolved quartz grains remained
at the core of mullite clusters. However,
raising the percentage of granite from 30 to
70 mass-% led to the development of a more
aggressive liquid phase content, as can be
seen in Fig. 5d.
3.2.2 X-ray diffraction analysis
Figure 6 represents the results of XRD analysis of fired samples. It can be seen that the
main crystalline phases are mullite and unreacted quartz, in addition to trace amount
orthoclase phases. The frequency of the
crystalline phases is greatly affected by the
granite content. The quantity of remaining
unreacted quartz increases from G30 to G70
with an increase in the amount of granite.
This is mainly due to the higher content of
quartz in the original granite sample, as can
be seen in Table 2. G30 and G50 show relatively higher proportions of mullite when
fired at 1150 °C for 1 h, as evident from the
intensity of the peaks in Fig. 6 and Table 2.
However, raising the percentage of granite
from 60 to 70 mass-% led to the development of a more liquid phase content that
favoured the dissolution of primary mullite
formed from clay after firing in G60 at
1150 °C and G70 at 1100 °C. The silica-rich
glassy phase favours the recrystallization of
secondary mullite needles. The weakest of
the peaks belonged to the mullite phase in
the samples with high content of granite.
Probably, a small amount of tiny mullite was
formed in the samples by the reaction of the
metakaolinite caused by the dehydroxylation process of kaolin. However, this mullite
phase was difficult to detect due to the vol-
Al2O3·2SiO2 A (1/3) 3Al2O3·2SiO2 + (2/3) SiO2
So, mullite begins crystallizing at around
1000 °C. Meanwhile, the crystalline phases
identified by XRD are confirmed by the
results of the SEM in Fig. 5.
3.3 Physical properties
Fig. 7a–c shows the changes in water absorption, apparent density and linear shrinkage of the sintered specimens as a function
of the sintering temperatures and the granite content, respectively. The linear shrinkage increased with sintering temperature increase (due to dehydroxylation and containing metakaolinite then formation of new
crystalline phases). The body becomes richer with the glassy phase, which helps to fill
up the inter-particle spacing, as a result of
which volume is reduced. The water absorption values decrease significantly at 1100
and 1150 °C. This behaviour is related to the
lower viscosity of the liquid phase and the
consequent improvement of the densification process produced at these temperatures. The temperature effect on the apparent density is similar to that observed for
the water absorption. The best bulk density

granite, the amount of crystalline phases
and the microstructure of the fired bodies,
as shown in Fig. 8. In principle, due to densification, one would expect an increase in
the bending strength varying between 30
and 36 MPa, with granite addition up to
60 mass-%. However, the reduction in BS
with 70 mass-% granite addition can be
explained by the higher amount of quartz
content (Table 2). Quartz can promote the
appearance of micro-cracks due to their
volumetric variation at 573 °C. These micro-cracks are known to act as stress raisers,
contributing to reducing the mechanical
strength [29, 30].

values of )2.48 g/cm3 were obtained with
bodies containing granite G30, G50 and
G60 fired at 1150 °C for 1h. However, the
G70 sample fired at 1100 °C for 1 h showed
a slight decrease in the density value
(2.40 g/cm3). The low bulk density value
of bodies containing 70 mass-% granite,
attributed to the relatively high proportion
of the glassy phase at the expense of the
crystalline phase, is evident in Fig. 7d. The
addition of granite from 30 up to 60 mass-%
had a significant effect on increasing the
bulk density values and lower water absorption up to ()0.87%).
The bending strength (BS) is a property that
is strongly dependent on the amount of
4 Conclusions
The results presented and discussed in this
work enable us to draw the following conclusions:
1. Granite is composed of quartz, orthoclase, microcline and albite. According to
its characteristics, granite is a nonplastic
ceramic material and, therefore, can be
beneficially used in the production of
stoneware ceramic bodies.
2. Samples with 30 and 50 mass-% granite
show higher bulk densities, bending
strengths and lower water adsorption,
which is mainly due to the major crystalline phases and glassy matrix formed
during the firing process.
,17(5&(5$0

3. XRD analysis indicates that no significant
effect on mullitization was observed as a
result of the granite addition. However, a
gradual increase in the residual quartz
content was observed with a progressive
increase in the granite addition.
4. The ceramic bodies prepared by utilizing
the granite meet the requirements for
ceramic floor tiles according to the
Standard specification for ceramic floor
tiles (SABS no.1449-1989).

1 Introduction
Polymeric scaffolds have been demonstrated
to have great potential for tissue engineering, for they serve to support, reinforce, and
in some cases organize tissue regeneration.
Chitosan is natural polymer made of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine units
linked by 1–4 glycosidic bonds and has been
proven to be biologically renewable, biodegradable, biocompatible, nonantigenic,
nontoxic, and biofunctional [1]. The use of
chitosan for tissue engineering as a scaffold
material has been reported, and porous chitosan matrix has been suggested as a potential candidate for bone regeneration due to
its proper biological and physical properties
[2]. Chitosan and some of its complexes
have also been studied for use in a number

Macroporous chitosan scaffolds (Ch) reinforced by quaternary bioactive
glass with the 46S6 system of 46 mass-% SiO2, 24 mass-% CaO, 24 mass-%
Na2O, 6 mass-% P2O5 prepared by a melting technique (MB) loaded with
ciprofloxacin (Cip) were prepared by a lyophilization technique. Theses
porous composite materials were especially designed as both a drug carrier for controlled drug release and a scaffold for bone regeneration. The
biodegradation rate and in-vitro mineralization of the prepared scaffolds
were performed by soaking the scaffolds in simulated body fluid (SBF).
Phase identification, microstructure, porosity, bioactivity, mechanical
properties and drug release ability in phosphate buffer solution (PBS)
were characterized by XRD, FTIR, mercury porosimeter, SEM coupled with
EDS, ICP-OES, a universal testing machine and a UV-spectrophotometer.
The addition of bioactive glass resulted in the formation of an appetite
layer on the scaffolds surfaces. The fracture toughness (KIc) of Ch is enhanced by incorporation of glass, as the glass content increases the KIc
increase. Incorporation of Cip up to 20 mass-% into Ch/MB scaffolds was
successfully achieved during the preparation procedure. The morphology,
structure and release behaviour of the loaded scaffolds were found to be
highly dependable on the glass content and drug concentrations.
of biomedical applications, among which
their use as drug carriers in drug-delivery
systemsis especially noteworthy [3–5]. In
tissue engineering, it is highly desirable that
macroporous chitosan scaffolds can be used
for bone implantation and drug delivery
synergistically. The porous structure can
provide a scaffold for bone cells to grow in
and its degradability allows the drugs to be
released to implantation sites. However, as a
drug carrier, pure chitosan is pH sensitive,
which makes it difficult to control the drugrelease behaviour under various pH values
of the internal human organs. Over-release
of the drug may induce harmful effects on
the human body. Furthermore, as a scaffold,
pure chitosan is mechanically weak and
lacks osteoconductivity, which hinders its
use as a bone implant.
Bioactive glass has many applications in
bone tissue engineering because of its
known ability to bond strongly to bone and
promote bone growth upon in vivo implantation [6]. When implanted in the body,
bioactive glass induces an interfacial bioactive response. By contrast (in vitro) it has
been documented that the ionic products

from the dissolution of bioactive glass actually enhance osteoblast attachment, proliferation, differentiation and mineralization
[7–9], as well as induce the differentiation
of bone marrow stromal cells into mature
extracellular producing osteoblasts [10].
Furthermore, the dissolution products of
bioactive glass exert control over genetic
factors of bone growth [11]. Nevertheless,
bioactive glass, as compared to cortical and
cancellous bone forms, tends to have weaker
mechanical properties, especially in porous
form. This fact restricts the use of these materials in a wide range of applications.
Composite systems are becoming more
popular in biomedical applications because
of the effective combination of the desired
properties of their constituents. From this
perspective, inorganic bioactive glass fillers
and biocompatible polymer matrices are
one of the mostly developed systems for
orthopaedic and dental applications. These
systems have osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, as well as good mechanical strength of bioactive glass and high
biocompatibility and processability of polymers [12].

Local application of antibiotic release systems is important for hard tissue engineering, because of both poor vascularity inbone
tissue for oral or intravascular therapy and
easiness of microbial attack in dental sites
where it is an area open to the environment
[13, 14].
Composite scaffolds could be used as drugdelivery systems for the antibiotic treatment
of osteomylitis, a common bone disease
caused by bacterial infection of the bone
medullary cavity, cortex, and/or periosteum
upon implantation. These systems have the
advantage that no second surgical procedure
is required for implant removal. Ciprofloxacin (1-cyclopropyl-6-fluro-1, 4-dihydro4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-3-quinoline carboxylic acid) is a fluoroquinolone derivative,
which is widely used in osteomyelitis because of its favourable penetration and bactericidal effect on all the probable osteomyelitis pathogens. Ciprofloxacin acts by inhibiting the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase [15].
Hence the aim of this work is to prepare a
scaffold with controlled release properties
for water-soluble drugs; the incorporated
Ch scaffolds with MB particles containing
ciprofloxacin without the use of possibly
toxic surfactants are prepared in this research. The effect of MB content and the
drug percentage on the development of
tailored medicated scaffolds during freezedrying has also been investigated. The
chemical, morphological and release properties of ciprofloxacin loaded Ch/MB scaffolds are also investigated.
2 Materials and methods
2.1 Fabrication of Ch/MB–Cip scaffolds
2.1.1 Synthesis of bioactive glass by a melting
technique
46s6 bioactive glass powder was synthesized
by a melting technique. The materials used
were calcium silicate (Alfa Aesar, molecular
weight = 233−250, Germany), trisodium
trimetaphosphate (Molecular weight = 305.9,
Sigma, Germany) and sodium meta silicate
pentahydrate (Molecular weight = 212.1,
Sigma, Germany); the latter was heated at
200 °C / 2 h before the starting materials
were mixed by mechanical mixer for 1 h The
batch was melted in an Rh-Pt crucible
through the following firing regime [16]:
heating to 900 °C / 1 h at a rate of 10 K/min,
firing at 1350 °C / 3 h at a rate of 20 K/min.
The melted glass was poured into a preheated die at 500 °C near the glass transition
temperature. The resulting bioactive glass
was crushed and ground in a mechanical agate mortar and sieved to a grain size of less
than 63 μm; the glass was given the code MB
for simplicity.

2.1.2 Composite preparation
Ch/MB-Cip composite scaffolds were prepared by employing freeze-drying as demonstrated in Fig. 1. Firstly, Ch (ALDRICH,
medium molecular weight, Germany) was
dissolved in acidified water using acetic acid
(Analar Normapur, Molecular weight = 60.05,
Germany) at room temperature for 3 h using a polymer concentration of 3 mass-%.
The dissolved Ch was normalized by the
addition of a few droplets of sodium hydroxide solution until white precipitate was
achieved. After removal of this precipitate,
three different concentrations of MB, 33.5,
50 and 66.5 mass-%, were added to the Ch
solution and continuously stirred overnight
using a magnetic stirrer in order to break
the MB agglomerates and ensure a better
(homogenous) distribution of MB particles
in the composite scaffolds. Three different
concentrations of ciprofloxacin, 5, 10 and
20 mass-%, were added to the above mixture continue stirred for 1 h (scaffolds with
the same composition were prepared without drug loading as a control). Scaffolds
were casted in 24 well plates and kept at
–18 °C overnight and freeze dried for 24 h.
Then the scaffolds were removed from the
well plates and kept in the desecrator for
further analysis as mentioned below.
2.2 Morphological and microstructural
properties
The microarchitecture of these scaffolds was
assessed qualitatively by use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantitatively
by use of mercury intrusion porosimetry
(MIP) and the liquid displacement method.
2.2.1 SEM
SEM analyses were performed on a thin
piece of scaffold sheared from the centre
using a sharp razor blade after soaking in
liquid nitrogen for 2 min. Scaffolds were
observed through the use of SEM (max.
20 kV) with a gold palladium coating to
avoid beam damage of the polymer, something which can be prominent on scaffolds
having a very fine microstructure.
2.2.2 MIP
MIP was performed using (PORESIZER
9320 V2.08) to determine the median pore
diameter, skeletal density and percent porosity.
2.2.3 Liquid displacement method
Scaffold samples were submersed in cyclohexane for 1 h. The volume of a scaffold
immersed in the fluid is equal to the volume
of the displaced fluid, and we can calculate
the porosity from Equation (1):
P / % = [(W1-W3)/ (W2-W3)] x 100
(1)
where W1 is the weight of the scaffold before
immersion, W2 the weight of the scaffold
after immersion and W3 the weight after
drying by this method, from which we can
obtain the porosity percentage (P / %).
2.3 Mechanical properties of the prepared
scaffolds
Fracture mechanics provide the appropriate
methodology to quantify the fracture resistance of biocomposite scaffolds. Under linear
elastic conditions, fracture instability is
,17(5&(5$0
+,*+3(5)250$1&(&(5$0,&6
reached when the stress intensity of preexisting crack exceeds the fracture toughness, KIc, of the scaffold:
K=Ymapp (Ÿa)1/2= KIc
(2)
where mapp is the applied stress, a is the crack
length, and Y is the function of geometry,
crack size and shape.
A fracture toughness test was machined
from semi-circulars discs that have been
cut from the scaffolds (without drugs).
After machining, specimens were dry polished up to 1200 grit finish. The specimens
used had a width of R ~ 5.5–9 and a thickness of B ~ 4–7. The initial portion of the
notch was carefully machined using a slow
speed saw, with the final portion being introduced through the use of a fine blade
under an optical microscope; the length of
this notch was determined by the following
equation: a=0.32 (2R), and mapp was calculated by using Equation (3):
mapp =P/2RB
on the principle of electron-matter interactions. To allow surface conduction, the
scaffolds were metalized by a gold-palladium layer (a few μm thick) before being
introduced into the analysis room. Semiquantitative chemical analysis on scaffold
surfaces after immersion in SBF, covered by
gold-palladium layer to allow surface conduction, was performed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in Jeol JSM 6400.
2.4.4 ICP-OES
The concentrations of Ca, p and Si elements
after each soaking time in SBF were measured by using inductively coupled plasmaoptical-emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).
This method offers high sensitivity, less than
1μg/g depending on the matrix analyzed
and offers a high accuracy. The principle is
based on the determination of the amount
of each element present in solution by analyzing the intensity of the radiation emitted
at the specific elemental frequency after the
nebulization of atoms.
of the release medium were taken, and the
drug concentration was determined spectrophotometrically at 277 nm (Jenway 6705
UV/Vis, UK). The samples were replaced
with fresh buffer in order to keep the medium at a constant volume. All experiments
were carried out in triplicate. Ciprofloxacin
release was monitored for 360 h.
2.6.1 Mechanism of ciprofloxacin release
The Korsmeyer-Peppas model [20] was used
to find out the mechanism of drug release
from the scaffolds investigated:
Mt / M'= Ktn
(5)
where Mt / M' is the fraction of drug
released at time t, k is the rate constant and
n is the release exponent of the Korsmeyer–
Peppas model. In the case of quasi-Fickian
diffusion, the value of n < 0.5, Fickian diffusion n = 0.5, non-Fickian or anomalous
transport n = 0.5–1.0 and case II transport
n = 1.0.

2.4 Bioactivity
2.4.1 Phase analysis by x-ray diffraction
(XRD)
The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique
(Philips X’Pert-MPD system with a CuKa
wavelength of 1.5418 Å) was used to analyze
the structure of the prepared MB and Ch/
MB composite scaffolds. The diffractometer
was operated at 40 kV and 30 mA at a 2e
range of 10–70 °, with a step size of 0.058/s.
2.4.2 Infrared studies
Fourier transformed infrared analysis
(FTIR; Nicolet Magna-IR 550 spectrometer,
Madison, Wisconsin) was performed to
identify the nature of the chemical bonds
between atoms. The samples were small
pellets, of 0.5 cm diameter, obtained by
pressing the scaffold powder with KBr.
2.4.3 SEM coupled with EDS
The morphology of the surfaces of scaffolds
was studied by SEM (Jeol JSM 6301). This is
a technique of morphological analysis based
2.5 In vitro degradation studies
The degradation pattern of the composite
scaffold was studied in SBF medium at
37 °C. Groups of scaffolds (three scaffolds in
each) were immersed in SBF and incubated
for up to 30 days. After each period of time
one of the scaffolds was washed twice with
distilled water to remove any ions adsorbed
on the surface and was dried. The initial
weight of the scaffold was noted as Wo and
the dry weight as Wt. The degradation of
scaffolds was calculated with Equation (4):
Degradation / % = (Wo – Wt)/Wo × 100 (4)
2.6 Ciprofloxacin release behaviour
Drug incorporation into the scaffolds was
investigated by means of XRD, FTIR and
SEM coupled with EDS.
Phosphate buffer solution (PBS), pH 7.4
(10 ml), previously heated at 37 °C, was
added to test tubes containing the freshly
prepared scaffolds. The tubes were kept at
37 °C with shaking (50 oscillations min–1)
and, at pre-established times, 1 ml samples

3 Results and discussion
3.1 Morphological and microstructural
properties
The morphology of the prepared scaffolds is
presented in Fig. 2. It can be observed that
all the prepared scaffolds have wide range of
interconnected pores including macro, micro and nanopores, as was also confirmed by
a mercury porosimeter. By increasing the
MB concentration, the pore size in the scaffolds also increased. The average pore size of
the scaffolds fabricated was increased from
150 ± 5 μm to 170 ± 24 μm by increasing the
concentration of MB from 0 mass-% to
66.5 mass-%. The wide range of pores sizes
for all the scaffolds fabricated with different
MB concentration indicated that pores in
all the scaffolds were interconnected and
seeded cells would be proliferated throughout the 3D structure of the scaffold. The
pore size was found to be in the range of
100–200 μm, suitable for tissue engineering
applications [18].
Pores are essential for the migration and
proliferation of the cells, nutrient supply
and vascularization [19]. The surface of the
chitosan control scaffold was found to be
smooth compared to the Ch/MB composite
scaffold. This may be due to the incorporation of MB that significantly increases the
surface area of the scaffolds, further enhancing the bioactivity of the scaffolds [20, 21].
The porosity percentage for the prepared
scaffolds was determined by MIP and liquid
displacement methods, and there was no
significant difference between the two methods, as demonstrated in Table 1.

3.2 Mechanical properties
The mechanical behaviour of the prepared scaffolds was characterized by determining the fracture toughness KIc. Ch alone exhibits
low fracture toughness, as shown in Fig. 3. In the Ch/MB scaffolds a
marked change could be observed: as the amount of glass increased
the fracture toughness increased. Table 1 shows the skeletal density
of the Ch and Ch/MB composite scaffolds measured by MIP. It was
also observed that the density of the scaffolds increased with increasing concentration of glass, as reported earlier [22, 23]. A combination of high strength and high toughness could be achieved by
incorporating microparticles of MB into the Ch matrix.

structure due to the superior concentration
of hydroxyl groups. On the other hand,
XRD studies confirmed that the prepared
glass generally existed in an amorphous
state and no diffraction peaks could be observed except a broad band between 15° and
40° (2e) [25]. For the Ch/MB scaffold five
peaks can be noted; at an approximately
crystalline peak at 2e of 21.23° (001), 26.08°
(022), 27.34° due to glass polymer combination, 39.59° (131), and 47.81° (444). This indicates some degree of crystallinity on the
biopolymer network, which diminishes with
an increase of the glass content. This would
be a typical XRD pattern for the scaffold
showing contribution from all components
in the system [26].
FTIR before immersion in SBF showed a
strong interaction between MB and Ch.

shoulder at 1200 cm–1, which are assigned to
the Si–O–Si bending mode. The vibration
band at 1070 cm–1 and a double peak at 607
and 567cm–1 are due to the stretching vibration of phosphate groups [25]. The peaks at
2889 and 1637 cm–1 are attributed to CH
stretching and C=O bending vibration band
of Ch. This indicates that Ch is present on
the surface of scaffold particles [27, 28]. The
FTIR spectrum of the Ch scaffold shows a
peak at 1580 cm–1, which corresponds to the
primary amide groups of chitosan, this peak
diminishes with increasing glass content.
The peak at 1030 cm–1, which is attributed
to phosphate groups, was present in Ch/BG
scaffold, while the peak at 1070 cm–1 was
observed in Ch, which was absent in Ch/BG,
and was assigned to C–O stretching of chitosan [29].
3.3.2 XRD analysis and FTIR after
immersion in SBF
The XRD of the prepared scaffolds after
soaking in SBF for different time intervals is
demonstrated in Fig. 6. XRD spectra of Ch/
MB composite scaffolds showed sharp
peaks, 25.88°, 31.8°, 39.89° and 46.7° (2e)
attributed to 022, 211, 221 and 222 reticular
planes of HA [30, 31]. The increase in the
intensity of peaks from 2 days to 30 days was
indicative of the increase in the deposition
of HA. It also confirmed that the presence of
MB increased the deposition of HA on the
scaffolds [32] (Fig. 6). The IR spectrum of
synthetic hydroxy apatite was used as references to evaluate the structural evolution
and the bioactivities of the prepared scaffolds [33]. After soaking in SBF solution, the
initial characteristic bands of the Ch/MB
biocomposite are modified strongly because
of the interfacial reactions between scaffolds
and the SBF. Consequently, the spectra of
these biomaterials reveal new bands as
demonstrated in Fig. 7.
In detail, the spectrum of Ch/MB biocomposite shows three new, well-defined phosphate bands at 565, 603 and 1039 cm–1 after
2 days of soaking in physiological solution
for Ch/MB scaffolds. They are assigned to
stretching vibrations of the PO43– group in
phosphate crystalline phases. This result
confirms the formation of a calcium phosphate layer; this spectrum is quite similar to
that of hydroxyl apatite except for the two
bands located at 1620 and 3423 cm–1. These
bands are characteristic of the presence of
water related to the hygroscopic feature of
the apatite formed. In addition, the carbonate band at 1420 cm–1 is also observed. This
band attributes to a stretching vibration of
the C−O liaisons in carbonate groups. The
presence of carbonate bands indicates the
formation of a layer of carbonated hydroxyl
apatite on the surface of Ch/MB biocomposite. The results obtained highlight the
rapid formation of the apatite layer on the
surface of the Ch/MB biocomposite.
In addition, Ch/MB scaffolds reveal three
Si–O–Si bands at 470 cm–1 (bending vibration), 799 cm–1 (bending vibration) and
1075 cm–1 (stretching vibration). These
confirm the presence of a silica gel [34]. The
appearance of apatite mineral and a silica
gel indicate the interactions between the
scaffolds and SBF as described by Hench et
al. [35]. The results obtained confirm the
bioactivity of the Ch/MB biocomposite.
3.3.3 SEM with EDS after immersion in SBF

scaffolds was tested in vitro by analyzing the
ability to form apatite at their surface after

Ch Scaffolds in SBF at different time intervals
being immersed in SBF. Two compositions
of the prepared scaffolds were investigated
by SEM coupled with EDS (Fig. 8) to evaluate their surface changes after soaking in
SBF for 21 days. The 1Ch:2MB sample was
chosen with reference to Ch alone due to the
high MB content, which induces a much
better formation of the Ca–P layer on their
surfaces, as confirmed by XRD and FTIR. A
marked apatite formation can be seen on
the surface of Ch/MB scaffolds, which is
distributed over their entire surface.
The precipitated layer formed above the entire surface could be identified as calcium
phosphate once it had formed a dense precipitate with the typical cauliflower morphology. A close inspection of layer deposits
in the interior of the material indicated that
the scaffold could induce calcification beyond the surface of the scaffold. The precipitated layer also appeared to be well-connected to the biopolymer fraction and tended to its fibrillar structure. The EDS spectra
revealed that the elements present in the
control sample before immersion in SBF
were those composition of the MB bioactive
glass beside C, N and O that related to chitosan polymer. The presence of Ca, P, Na
and Cl elements on the surface of the prepared composite scaffolds were determined
by EDS. After 21 days of immersion in SBF
the phosphocalcic ratio Ca/P was nearly
equal to the stoichiometric apatite [36–41].
This study obviously indicates that the MB
microparticles introduced in the Ch/MB
scaffold promote the formation in vitro of
bone-like apatite, which could induce a positive contact with surrounding tissue after
implantation in a bone defect. We suggest
that the osteoconductive properties of the
scaffold could be more relevant for longterm implantation. Bone regeneration is
expected to follow its own process while Ch
is progressively degraded.
3.3.4 Evaluation of elemental concentrations
in SBF
The change of ion concentrations in SBF is
demonstrated in Fig. 9. For P and Si ions
they have the same behaviour for all the prepared scaffolds, with little difference in their
amount in the SBF. This is due to the variation of MB concentration in the prepared
scaffolds which result in different integration limit between MB and Ch polymer. The
ion concentration of Ca was found to be
completely different for each scaffold composition. This is believed to be due to the
glass content in the scaffolds of the MB
used, as they in turn change the porosity
and the degradation rate in the SBF [37–40,
42–44].

3.4 Degradation
The biodegradation rate of the prepared
scaffolds was investigated in SBF at different
time intervals with Ch alone as the control,
as shown in Fig. 10. The in vitro biodegradation of scaffolds after 1 month of immersion in SBF showed a significant difference
in the degradation rate of composite scaffolds compared to Ch scaffolds. Ch/MB
composite scaffolds showed a significant
decline in the degradation rate compared to
chitosan scaffolds. Degradation of chitosan
can result in acidic degradation products,
which may be neutralized by alkali groups
leaching out from MB, thus reducing the
degradation rate [23].
3.5 Ciprofloxacin incorporation
The success of the incorporation of the
ciprofloxacin drug into Ch and Ch/MB
scaffolds during the preparation procedure
was confirmed by XRD, FTIR and SEM
coupled with EDS.
3.5.1 XRD
XRD confirmed the presence of the ciprofloxacin drug in the Ch and Ch/MB scaffolds as shown in Fig. 11a. Ciprofloxacin has
specific sharp crystal peaks and Ch has a
specific broad peak, while a halopattern was
recorded for Ch/MB loaded with ciprofloxacin, demonstrating their amorphous
state. When ciprofloxacin was entrapped into the Ch matrix, its sharp crystal peaks
overlapped with the noise of the coated polymer and the disappearing ciprofloxacin
was completely and successfully entrapped
into the matrix of the Ch polymer. This indicates that Ch loaded with ciprofloxacin
shows three identification peaks at 2e of
12.67°, 20.05° and 25.85° due the presence
of the drug because of its close molecular
packing and regular crystallization. However, for Ch/MB scaffolds loaded with ciprofloxacin there are three peaks 11.79°, 21.12°

(b) FT-IR of 1Ch:2MB

and 29.44°, due to the presence of MB particles [45–49].
3.5.2 FTIR
The ciprofloxacin loaded scaffolds’ FTIR is
shown in Fig. 11b. The FTIR spectrum of
ciprofloxacin showed the presence of the
following bands: at 3098.08 cm–1 due to the
stretching vibration of the –NH group, at
1644.98 cm–1 due to the stretching vibration
of the C=O group in the primary amide and
at 1593.88 cm–1 due to the bending vibration of N–H group in the secondary amide.
The stretching vibration of the O=S=O
group appeared at 1148.40 cm–1, aromatic
CH stretching vibration appeared at
3064.33 cm–1 and the –CH aromatic ring
bending appeared at 828.277 cm–1. The Ch
scaffolds loaded with drugs indicated the
presence of new bands at 3522, 1637, 798.67
and 1473.52 cm–1 due to the presence of the
ciprofloxacin drug. These bands were also
indicated for Ch/MB scaffolds loaded with
ciprofloxacin, in addition to another two
bands at 1088 and 463.23 cm–1, with higher
intensity due to the combination of drugs
with glass particles in the polymer matrix.
A shorter band appeared in the region
1500–1200 cm–1, which was ascribed to the
hydrated bonds with ciprofloxacin molecules. Another large band assigned to the
C–O–C stretching vibration occurred between 1200 and 1030 cm–1, which shifted
from 1047 cm–1 for scaffolds without drugs
to 1083 cm–1 for scaffolds with drugs [47–55].
The FTIR spectra indicate that although an
interaction occurs with both Ch/MB scaffolds, this is probably because Ch/MB has a
greater content of pendant hydroxyl groups
that are more accessible for establishing
hydrogen bonds [47].
3.5.3 SEM coupled with EDS
The SEM image of the drug shows a rod
shape and its EDS indicates the presence of F
and Cl elements, which are the main components of the drug. SEM of the incorporated
scaffolds with ciprofloxacin indicates of a
rod shape in the scaffolds [48, 52]; moreover,
the EDS confirms the presence of these elements. XRD, FTIR and SEM coupled with
EDS indicate and confirm the success of the
incorporation of ciprofloxacin into Ch and
Ch/MB scaffolds, as shown in Fig. 12.

3.6 Release behaviour of ciprofloxacin
The release behaviour of ciprofloxacin
from the prepared scaffolds is presented in
Figs. 13a and b. Ciprofloxacin, as expected,
exhibits a burst release from the system investigated. Moreover, a sustained drug release profile was observed from the figures
investigated with a quasi-Fickian diffusion
mechanism (n-values less than 0.5). This
mechanism indicates that the polymer is
hydrated, swells and then the drug diffuses
through the swollen matrix system, which
ultimately slows down the kinetic release.
The drug release rate increases with an increase of the drug concentration, which is
due to the higher deference between the
scaffold and the surrounding medium in the
PBS solution. Incorporation of MB into the
scaffold matrix affected the ciprofloxacin
release behaviour, decreased the burst effect
due to the porosity decreasing by the incorporation of glass particles into the Ch matrix [53–55].
4 Conclusions
In this study, Ch/MB biocomposite scaffolds
loaded with ciprofloxacin with a well-interconnected pore structure were fabricated
via a freeze-drying technique. The degradation rate, fracture toughness and physicochemical properties of the scaffold prepared
by freeze-drying for tissue engineering
could be controlled by controlling the glass
concentration. The pore size achieved is
suitable for cell activation and tissue regeneration. Drug loaded scaffolds with ciprofloxacin exhibit a good drug delivery system
with sustained drug release. The intimate
interaction between the bioactive glass 46s6
and chitosan chains has the potential to
combine bone bonding and bioactive ion
release and controlled degradation. The results of controlled release tests showed that
the amount of ciprofloxacin released decreased with an increase in the proportion
of glass content and increased as the amount
of drug loaded in the scaffold increased. All
these results suggest that the Ch/MB composite scaffold can serve as an appropriate
bioactive matrix for tissue regeneration and
treatment of osteomylitis.
