Kiln-free, bio-based “sintering” makes low-carbon, ceramic-like materials

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.

Summary
BioSintering, developed by Dekiln, uses plant-based bio-active molecules to fuse particulate materials at ambient/mild temperatures via biologically mediated mineralization, forming dense, ceramic-like solids without a kiln. By removing several high-energy steps from traditional ceramic processing, it offers a lower-carbon route to tile-like materials.

What applications would benefit most from kiln-free, bio-based sintering, and what performance or cost data would you want to see before adopting it?

A new process called BioSintering takes advantage of plant-based bio-active molecules to fuse together particles at mild temperatures, yielding an alternative material for conventional ceramic tiles with a much lower carbon footprint. Developed by Dekiln, the technology binds loose particulate materials into dense solids using ambient-temperature biologically mediated mineralization pathways, eliminating several high-energy steps from traditional ceramic processing
