A study is performed to determine the reaction time which is required at 1600°C to obtain mullite from clay with a high content of kaolinite (clay from the La Rioja Province of Argentina) and from a stoichiometric mixture ...

The kinetic of mullite crystallization from sol–gel method, with different water content, was investigated under non-isothermal conditions using DTA. The sols were obtained from Al(NO3)3.9H2O (ANN) and Si(OC2H5)4 (TEOS) ...

Mullite is a low cost ceramic material based on aluminous silicate and synthesized via solid state reaction. Mullite displays potential properties for application in the biomedical field, specially its high mechanical ...

In this work, the thermogelling behavior of aqueous mullite-bovine serum albumin (BSA) suspensions was studied by dynamic rheology in order to determine the experimental conditions that must be used to form mullite green ...

In this article, the development and characterization of porous mullite bodies prepared using two novel forming routes with native starches were studied with the aim of developing bodies without deformation and with ...

The shaping of cellular microstructures of mullite bodies prepared by thermo-gelation of foamed mullite-bovine serum albumin (BSA) suspensions using both a novel forming route and the conventionally reported route were ...

In this paper, cellular mullite bodies were developed by thermal direct-consolidation of foamed aqueous mullite-bovine serum albumin (BSA) and mullite-BSA-methylcellulose suspensions, burning out (650 °C, 2 h) and sintering ...

The in situ formation of mullite (Al6Si4O13) is a complex process based on solid-state reactions strongly affected by the characteristics of Al2O3 and SiO2 sources. This study investigated the combined effects of variable ...

Abstract: Colloidal silica (CS) is a promising raw material for refractory castable ceramics. It consists of stable suspensions of synthetic amorphous silica nanoparticles that behave simultaneously as liquid medium and ...
