It is found out that activation of the sintering process for refractory clay-containing raw materials (rusk kaolin and wocheinite) is provided using additives of 3d-transition elements oxides (Fe2O3 and MnO2) in the amount of 2 - 5 wt. % due to formation of defective solid solutions of mullite by isovalent substitution mechanism as well as fluxing additives of alkaline and alkaline-earth oxides (Na2O, MgO) in the amount of 2 wt. % by regulating rheological properties of silicate melts.
The paper presents the results of the research, connected with the granulometric and mineralogical compositions of fusible clay raw materials of Krasnoyarsk region - argillic and loose clay varieties. The influence of granitoid and diabase rocks stony additives on the sinterability and strength characteristics of the ceramic materials based on fusible clays is evaluated. It is found that the introduction of sintering additives into the loose fusible clay leads to the significant increase of samples strength - 50-100 MPa, while the introduction of the similar additives in the argillic clay does not influence positively on samples strength
This paper presents the comprehensive study findings of the high-ferriferous wocheinite (a bauxite variety) of Timan deposit to evaluate the possibility of its application in the aluminosilicate ceramics production. The study was carried out by chemical, X-ray phase and thermal analysis on two samples before and after calcination. According to the obtained data, investigated material is of practical interest as a hardening and mineralizing additive to produce high-strength aluminosilicate ceramics. The strength improving ceramic structures, based on clay and bauxite raw materials mixture, is possible due to the binding of silica, which is released from the structure of kaolinite by aluminum oxide as a product of boehmite and hydrargillite dehydration to the secondary mullite
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.
