In silicate systems, which are very important in refractory technology, an equilibrium state is virtually unobtainable even with prolonged heat treatment. Therefore, in order to get close to the equilibrium state, it is necessary to carry out special preparation of the raw material by homogenizing it simultaneously with the fine milling of the components and by chemical codeposition followed by high-temperature firing or melting during which the synthesis of mullite is achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
