Abstract:Paraffin was employed as a pore-forming agent to achieve porous alumina. Trichloroethylene, toluene, and chloroform were utilized for dissolving paraffin to explore the impact of the solvent on the properties of porous alumina. The influence of the paraffin ratio (1, 3, 5, and 7 wt%) was also examined on the properties of porous alumina. The samples were compacted under different pressures ranging from 30 to 50 MPa. The samples were then sintered at 1400 °C. The density of the samples was examined by the Archi… Show more
