Abstract:In order to study the performance and feasibility of magnesia-alumina spinel (MgAl 2 O 4 ) ceramics for thermal storage in solar thermal power generation, MgAl 2 O 4 was prepared by theoretical composition using α-Al 2 O 3 as aluminium source, fused magnesia, magnesite, and light burned magnesia as different magnesium sources and kaolin as additive. The effects of magnesium source and the additive on sintering properties, thermal shock resistance and thermal properties of MgAl 2 O 4 ceramics were researched. T… Show more
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.
