Abstract. In this paper porous ceramics on the base of ZrO2 nanopowders and micropowders has been developed by freeze-casting method. A zirconia/carbamide slurry was frozen in mold and dehydrated in CaCl2 at room temperature. This simple process enabled the formation of porous ceramics with highly aligned pores as a replica of the carbamide crystals. The samples showed higher porosity of 47.9%. In addition, these materials could be used as membrane for air cleaning.

The study results of mica bearing rocks from the Mamskoye and Kuletskoye deposits and the processes, involved in grinding and activating muscovite mica from the rocks using a ball and a planetary mills, a disintegrator and a pneumoimpulsive installation depending on different time intervals and other grinding factors, are presented in this paper. The resultant materials were examined by the methods of X-ray phase analysis, derivatography, microscopy and others, which resulted in drawing the conclusions concerning the applicability of different mechanical treatment methods applied in obtaining ground mica for various uses.
