In this study, blast furnace slag (YFC) was used as an alternative source of raw materials in vitreous china structures in the production of ceramic sanitary ware. A maximum of 10% of the blast furnace slag was used instead of sodium feldspar. All compositions were prepared under the industrial conditions at Ece Bath factory. Samples were fired at 1220 ⁰C for 15 hour in a industrial roller kiln. In this study, beside the rheological properties of the prepared slips, technical properties such as shrinkage, water absorption and bending strength of fierd samples were also investigated. As a result, in this study, the blast furnace slag containing bodies were superior to the standard body in terms of technological properties. This findings shown that blast furnace slag can be used as an alternative raw material in the production of ceramic sanitaryware.
