Phase‐Pure Mullite from Kaolinite

Abstract: Sintering of kaolinite in the presence of certain carbonate mineralizers, viz., CaCO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , and K 2 CO 3 , has been conducted at 950°-1350°C. The influence of these mineralizers at the above temperatures is evaluated using XRD and SEM techniques. A comparative study of phase formation of the above compositions shows that the sodium-and calcium-fluxed samples give rise to multiphase systems, while K 2 CO 3incorporated samples give phase-pure mullite. The observation that kaolinite in the presence of K … Show more

“…Two exothermic peaks at about 243 and 300ºC are due to the decomposition and dehydration of Al(OH) 3 , respectively. The endothermic peak at 1228ºC comes from the formation of primary mullite phase from the interaction of amorphous SiO 2 either with Al 2 O 3 of the kaolinite or the spinel phase from the metakaolinite as reported in other studies [11,16]. The total mass loss of about 24% is more pronounced because the mass loss of Al(OH) 3 is more.…”

“…Nesses materiais os óxidos se encontram atomicamente dispersos e ligações do tipo Al -O -Si são freqüentes. [7,11,12]. O composto mais utilizado para aplicações cerâmicas é o caulim, um argilomineral que possui Al e Si incorporados em escala atômica.…”

“…Álcalis como sódio e potássio, possuem solubilidade relativamente baixa na mulita, permanecendo no líquido silicoso abaixando a temperatura de aparecimento do mesmo e resultando em grãos pequenos e arredondados [30]. Já o óxido de cálcio que também é pouco solúvel na mulita, gera grãos arredondados, porém maiores [10,12]. O óxido de titânio possui efeito similar ao óxido de cálcio, entretanto é menos pronunciado, pois sua solubilidade na mulita é levemente superior [10,31].…”

“…The mullite obtained is denoted by reaction-sintered mullite or sintermullite. [8,9] A potential disadvantage of the use of kaolin or andalusite or other minerals, e.g. kyanite, sillimanite, topaz or staurolite, is their potential content of impurities.…”
