Effect of Cao from Different Sources on the Nanostructured Cordierite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cordierite was synthesized via glass-route using mineral and pure oxide material. Kaolin, talc, dolomite, magnesia, alumina, silica, and calcium oxide were mixed and melted. CaO from mineral and pure oxide was added in order to investigate the properties of each material in cordierite system. Sample was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and dilatometer testing. The result showed that when 5wt% CaO from mineral (C5 Min) was added and sintered at 900°C, α-cordierite exist as major phase and anorthite as a minor phase. While for a sample consists of 5wt% CaO from pure oxide (C5 Ox), α-cordierite was present as major phases, µ-cordierite and anorthite as minor phases. Crystallite sizes of each material were in nanorange and crystallite size of C5 Ox was less than C5 Min.
