Ceramic powder and white cement are not the same. Ceramic powder is usually made from finely ground ceramics, often used in pottery, tile production, and various industrial applications. In contrast, white cement is a type of portland cement that is specifically formulated to have a white color, primarily used in construction and architectural applications. While both materials may have similar uses in specific contexts, their compositions and properties differ significantly.
No, plaster of Paris and white cement are not the same. Plaster of Paris is a porous material that will disintegrate outside in the rain. White cement is more durable and should last outside in the rain.
If you are installing on a concrete slab, then make a sand bed with sand & cement mixed to a praportion of 1:25. Level the bed. Then make cement slurry by mixing water. Pour the slurry on the bed for about an area slightly bigger than tile. Place the water soaked tile & give light blows by a wooden piece. then repeat the same procedure for next tile. Next day clean the joints & remove all excess cement slurry which has come out. Rake the joints. Then fill the joints by slurry of white cement. After a drying period of 2 hours, remove the excess white cement slurry. Pour some water for three days to keep the joints wet. If you want to install on prelaid flooring tile, then first grind the existing tile surface to make it rough. Then make cement slurry with polymer additive. Then paste the tiles on this rough surface by applying 3 to 4mm of layer of slurry. Sanjay - nikiasso@yahoo.com
A radiant burner is made out of ceramic glass. It's essentially the same thing.
In my concern ceramic materials are very strong materials which are not allow even small deformation
CERAMICS The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramos). The term covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. Up until the 1950s or so, the most important of these were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles and the like, along with cements and glass. Clay-based ceramics are described in the article on pottery. A composite material of ceramic and metal is known as cermet. The word ceramic can be an adjective, and can also be used as a noun to refer to a ceramic material, or a product of ceramic manufacture. Ceramics may also be used as a singular noun referring to the art of making things out of ceramic materials. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. China The Chinese perfected porcelain by using kaolin, a white clay, mixing it with china stone and firing it at high temperatures. That was in the 10th century and it took another 800 years before true porcelain was developed in Europe. China, in this context, originally refered to a ceramic dinnerware coming out of the country of China which was particularly fine and exceptionally white. It was a standard of quality unknown elsewhere at the time. To answer the question then, China is a ceramic product but of a very fine quality and it should more accurately be called porcelain.

It's no different on drywall than it is on any other surface. You spread the cement the same way, you apply the tile the same way.
Hardened cement powder, often referred to as cementitious material or recycled concrete powder, can be crushed and used in some applications, but it doesn't have the same properties as new cement. It may serve as a partial replacement for new cement in concrete mixtures, contributing to sustainability and reducing waste. However, its performance will depend on factors such as particle size, purity, and the specific application. Proper testing and engineering evaluation are essential to ensure it meets the required standards for use.
Lime and white cement serve different purposes and have distinct properties. Lime is primarily used for its plasticity and workability in mortar, while white cement is valued for its aesthetic qualities and strength. While both can be used in construction, they are not interchangeable and are often chosen based on specific project requirements. In applications like finishing and decorative work, white cement may provide a brighter appearance, whereas lime may be preferred for its breathability and flexibility.
The darker the color of the road the more sunlight it absorbs. A white cement sidewalk is whiter which absorbs many of the colors making it cooler.
Black asphalt becomes hotter than a white cement sidewalk by one thing. The reason it gets hotter is because black attracts heat.
No, just because they are both white doesn't mean they do the same thing.
No, sediment and cement are not the same thing. Sediment refers to particles that settle out of a fluid, such as sand, silt, and clay, often accumulated over time in bodies of water. Cement, on the other hand, is a binding material, typically a powder that, when mixed with water and aggregates, hardens to form concrete. While both are involved in geological and construction processes, they serve different purposes.
A black asphalt road absorbs more sunlight due to its darker color, which has a lower albedo, meaning it reflects less light and absorbs more heat. In contrast, a white cement sidewalk has a higher albedo, reflecting a significant portion of sunlight and retaining less heat. As a result, the asphalt road typically reaches higher temperatures than the white cement sidewalk when exposed to the same sunlight conditions.
Black asphalt absorbs more sunlight and heat than white cement because it has a lower albedo, or reflectivity. The darker color of the asphalt allows it to absorb more of the sun's energy, which results in higher temperatures compared to the lighter-colored cement that reflects more sunlight.
baking powerder is baking powder is not the same!
No, clearly it is different by the name alone. -Ceramic is a type of baked clay.
