Sustainable development has recently become the driving force of all the policies leading environmental, economic, and social aspects of our life. In the construction sector, a large number of technological innovations has been introduced thus leading to an assessment of the environmental impact of the production processes. In the present study, the environmental impact of the Italian ceramic tiles production is analyzed and discussed. The evolution trends of the main atmospheric pollutants and the management of water and solid wastes of ceramic tile plants have been investigated over a period greater than 10 years, considering three different layouts of production cycles. The current evaluation shows that the Italian ceramic tiles industry has considered the environmental assessment as a fundamental practice for its development since the late 1980s. The reported data prove the high level of excellence reached by the Italian ceramic tile production and demonstrate how attention to the environmental impact is a fundamental key for the ceramic tile sector.

In the process of ceramic tiles production, the hue variation is one of the oldest and common problems whose appearance persists within the production and between two different productions of the same product; therefore it’s a problem to be solved still. Identify the origin the hue variation and minimize its occurrence it’s a constant challenge in the ceramic tile production, and the target is always to increase the quality end decrease the batches with different tones. Although the hue variation can have it’s origin within which one of the whole steps of the process, this work is focused on the decoration process using one of the most widespread technics of such step, the laser engraving silicon cylinders. This work accosts the influence of the speed of the ceramic line production and its effects on the hue variation. The studied characteristics were the shape and volume of the ink dot transferred by the cylinder to the tile surface, measured by optical microscopy and the result tone of the decoration, measured by spectrophotometry.

Ceramic Tile Production

The recent rediscovery of the mosque erected around 1477–84 (882–89) in Tabriz by the Aq Qoyunlu ruler Uzun Hasan (r. 1457–78]) provides new perspectives on ceramic tile production in the former Turkmen capital. The Blue Mosque and its exceptional tile decoration have long been considered to be the last vestiges of the innovative features of the Qara Qoyunlu workshops in Tabriz. The recovery of the Uzun Hasan Mosque sheds new light on this prestigious artistic center: besides confirming the innovative traits of Tabrizi production, its architectural decoration highlights the strong artistic continuity from Qara Qoyunlu to Aq Qoyunlu workshops. These unusual ceramic tiles also constitute a previously unknown stage in the history of Iranian ceramic tiles.
