Materials and methods<br />

In the experimental work being carried out several residual and sedimentary<br />

commercial kaolins from Portugal and Eng<strong>la</strong>nd. Also, a kaolinitic red c<strong>la</strong>y and a<br />

ball c<strong>la</strong>y from Portugal were used.<br />

Wall Formation Rate <strong>de</strong>terminations were carried out according to CTCV<br />

(Centro Tecnológico da Cerâmica e do Vidro) internal procedure and Filtration<br />

Rate <strong>de</strong>terminations were carried out according to American Society for Testing<br />

and Materials C866-77 norm.<br />

WFR was <strong>de</strong>termined using cilindrical p<strong>la</strong>ster moulds (p<strong>la</strong>ster/water=1.2<br />

wt/wt), about 8 cm high and 10 cm wi<strong>de</strong>, with an internal conical hole, about 4.5<br />

cm of top diameter, 5 cm of height and 3.5 cm of bottom diameter. The casting<br />

time was: 2, 5, 7 and 9 minutes.<br />

The slip casting used in both methods was prepared with the following<br />

characteristics: <strong>de</strong>nsity 1,550 g/L, viscosity 500 cP. The slip was dispersed with<br />

sodium silicate (50% wt/wt).<br />

Results and discussion<br />

Both properties, wall formation rate and filtration rate, are <strong>de</strong>pendant of the<br />

same textural and mineralogical parameters, therefore it is appropriate to<br />

establish a re<strong>la</strong>tionship between them.<br />

The table 1 contains both WFR and FR values.
