Crystallization Kinetics of Iron Rich Glass-Ceramic Obtained from Waste of Steel Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main objective of this work was to study the crystallization kinetics of glass-ceramic obtained from steel waste. Two compositions were melted at about 1350 °C. The obtained frits were dried and re-melted. Each composition was then wet ground, dried, and chemically characterized (X-ray fluorescence and atomic absorption spectrometry), structurally (X-ray diffraction), and thermally (thermal differential analysis). Then the powders were compacted and the samples were dried and heat treated in a kiln between 690 and 890 °C. After, the crystallized bodies were ground and the crystalline phases were identified by X-ray diffraction. Results showed that the main formed crystalline phases were magnetite, hematite, Fe2.95Si0.05O4, and CaAl2Fe4O10. The activation energies obtained by the Kissinger method were between 348 and 423 kJ.mol-1, whereas the Avrami parameter was obtained between 0.76 and 1.1 indicating surface crystallization.
