Study on Use of Nanosized Alpha Alumina from Schedule Waste as Formulation in Thermal Insulation Paint

Article Preview

Abstract:

Schedule waste used in this study is white aluminium dross produce from an aluminium smelting plant. It has a gibbsite crystal form, and was calcined at high temperature and transformed into α-alumina. nanosized powder with 76 nm primary particle size was produced by top-down method via high velocity wet milling. Comparative thermal insulation study was then performed in paints made from 15 wt% of these nanosize and micron-size alumina. The results from this study shows that the nanosize α-alumina is the best insulator, with a temperature reduction of 57 and 41% less, compared to micron-size α-alumina respectively for ceramic and steel plate.
