Acid fluoride in ceramic material production

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this work is to develop fluorine anhydrite-based ceramic materials and engineering concept for their production and identify the conditions for the ceramic body formation and strength improvement.Methodology/approach: Acid fluoride without aditional processing and ash from thermal power plants are used in the experiment. Sodium silicate solution and the aluminum powder are introduced in the melt for the mullite formation. The phase composition is investigated on a Shimadzu XRD-6000 Diffractometer. Clay is dried to prepare the mixture and then it is ground in a jaw breaker and co-milled with the specific amount of acid fluoride.Research findings: Granular and piece ceramic wall materials with the required properties are obtained. Drying and firing conditions and the main performance characteristics are determined herein.Practical implications: Construction and technical characteristics of acid fluoride are detected for the ceramic material production, the proposed methods can be used for ceramics modification, allowing to reduce expenditures per unit of output for mineral raw materials.Originality: Process conditions are determined for the ceramics production, and dependencies are suggested to control the composition and properties of granular and piece ceramic wall materials.
