Reaction and Sintering Mechanism of Forsterite Lightweight Material in Sodium Carbonate Molten Salt

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using the natural forsterite and Na2CO3 as a raw material, the forsterite lightweight material was prepared in Na2CO3 molten salt. The reaction between forsterite and Na2CO3 and sintering mechanism of forsterite were studied in the paper. The sintering temperature was 1000 °C, 1100 °C, and the holding time was 1 h, 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, 10 h, respectively. The sintered samples were characterized by XRD and SEM for their microstructure and phase composition analysis which determined the mechanism of the chemical reaction and sintering in the sintering process. The product of Na2MgSiO4 phase in In earlier period of the reactions promoted the rearrangement of particles of forsterite in the initial stage of sintering process. The sintering mechanism was mainly controlled by the diffusion mechanism.
