摘要:

In the present investigation, five different types of calcined alumina were incorporated in the formulation of mullite shapes to have a compartative study of the materials. The mullite compositions were pneumatically rammed at a pressure of 100 kg.cm−2and fired at 1420°C for 4 hours. The results indicate mullite shapes possessing high spalling resistances (+ 30 cycles water quenching from 1000°C to room temperature) and improved cold crushing strengths after 25 cycles of spalling test.

摘要:

Physicochemical and mineralogical characteristics of different types of clays, available as overburden in lignite deposit at Rajpardi village in Bharuch district in Gujarat were studied with a view to finding out their possible utilisation as replacements of conventional plastic clays in the manufacture of traditional ceramic products.

摘要:

The physico-thermal properties of kaolinised rocks occurring at the Northern part of Mulieh village of Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya were studied with a view to find out its possible use in ceramic industry. The study was conducted on the crude as well as washed fractions of Grade I and Grade II clays obtained by systematic levigation. The investigation included the determination of unfired physical properties of all the three fractions of the clay leading to the suitability in ceramic industry. The PCE values and the fired characteristics at six different temperatures starting from 1200° to 1450°C at the interval of 50°C of all the three levigated fractions of the clay were determined. The results indicated that the crude clay being non-slaking in nature and contained about 68% residual fraction required proper processing for using it successfully in producing ceramic articles. Grade I clay when mixed with other ceramic raw materials in right proportions may prove promising in the manufacture of ceramic whiteware products except, of course, porcelain crockery due to the off-white fired colour. On the other hand, Grade II fraction which the industry may find useful if formulated judiciously considering the physico-chemical properties of the clay.
