In this study, the feasibility of alumina phase transition enhancement by mechanical activation was conducted. It was showed that the milling environment plays an important role on the physical, chemical and thermal behavior ...

The main idea of this research was to evaluate rice and sunflower hulls, sawdust and their ashes, as additives in clay brick production using mathematical analysis. All available papers, containing the parameters of interest, ...

The focus of the study was on providing insights into interconnections between sintering and development of the crystalline microstructure, and consequently variations in dielectric behavior of four steatites fabricated ...

A growing demand for refractory castables with advanced properties has given rise to a continuous technological evolution and highlighted the necessity for secondary raw materials reapplication even in refractory industry. ...

The differences in the set of the process parameters measured before and after mica mechanical activation and their influence on the grain size distribution related characteristics have been studied. The modification of ...

The properties of seven montmorillonite-rich bentonites of different geological origin were investigated prior and subsequent to mechano-chemical processing in an ultra-centrifugal mill. The objective of the experiment was ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the clay drying as a unit operation in the refractory materials processing. Two clays that varied in chemical and mineralogical compositions were experimentally tested in a ...

The effect of the application of pelletized fly ash based aggregates obtained through different processing techniques on the behavior of lightweight concretes was analyzed. Experimental program implied production of four ...

The impact of the mechanical processing parameters on the alumina grain-size distribution affiliated characteristics and on the gamma to alpha phase transformation rate was investigated. The moderation in the alumina samples ...

Steatite, as ceramic with composition predominantly resting on magnesium silicate, was produced from economic resources - talc, aluminosilicate clays, and either BaCO3 or feldspar as flux. Titanium dioxide was a doping ...
