Bauxites from the different profiles in Western India have been studied for the first time with a view to examining their potential as a refractory material. The results show that the sintering behaviour of these Gibbsite-Boehmite-Halloysite (GBH) assemblages proceeded in two stages with (i) a decomposition stage at 400°-l200°C and (ii) mullite formation stage at 1200°-l600°C. Microstructures of the raw !Daterials and sintered pellets were studied to evaluate the possibility of utilizing them in the ceramic industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
