Effect of Burning-Out Materials on the Properties of Synthesized Microporous Mullite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mullite can be prepared as lightweight refractories for its low thermal conductivity, advanced volume stability at high temperature environment. Using industrial alumina and nature silica powders as starting materials, the mullite aggregates with microporous structure were synthesized by adding some burning-out materials as pore forming agents. The effects of burning-out materials on the pore size distribution, mullite contents and microstructure of microporous mullite have been investigated. The results show that the effects on the mullite contents and microstructure of microporous mullite are significant. All the burning-out materials have a similar effect for the pore size distribution.
