Preparation of Porous Porcelain with Treated Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) Sludges the Foaming Agent

Abstract:

The potential of treated FGD sludge as foaming agent in ceramic porcelain were studied. The effect of treated FGD sludge content on phase composition, porosity and mechanical strength of porous ceramic were investigated. The result showed that the addition of treated FGD sludge improve the porosity. However, the increased porosity significantly reduced the flexural strength in sample after sintering at 1200°C for 3 hours. The porous of ceramic porcelain produced in this study can be used for insulation in high temperature application.
