Effect of Potassium Carbonate Addition on the Sintered Properties of Coal Fly Ash
Abstract:
In this project, coal fly ash was transformed into ceramic materials by adding a certain amount of fusing agent. Ash samples were compacted and sintered with the addition of potassium carbonate (K2CO3·1/2H2O) under a suitable sintering temperature range. Mineralogy and microstructure of the obtained products were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electronic microscope techniques respectively. The results indicate that K2CO3·1/2H2O facilitates the transformation of mullite and quartz phases above 800°C, and the mineralogy phases of the product is leucite (KAlSi2O6) and potassium aluminum silicate (KAlSiO4). In the process, K+ interacts with oxygen atom and destroys the original lattice. The regular morphology of the sintered samples was confirmed by the observation under SEM, which reveals a uniform dense ceramic is formed at 900°C with the 40wt% addition of K2CO3·1/2H2O.
