Production of Porous Cordierite through Sol-Gel Polymeric Sponge Method
Abstract:
Cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) is widely used in high temperature applications due to its high melting temperature and high resistance to thermal shock, chemical and corrosion. In this study, porous cordierite was synthesized using sol-gel method followed by replication of polymeric sponge method. Three different sintering temperatures were studied (1200°C, 1300°C and 1400°C to determine the crucial temperatures meant for pure cordierite phase. The effect of different temperature on the pore size, density and porosity were also studied. Produced porous cordierite was then analyzed using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). XRD results showed that pure cordierite phase was obtained at 1300°C. SEM micrograph shows that with increasing sintering temperature, the pore size decreased and sample sintered at 1300°C has pore size ranging from 61-126μm.
