Mullitization of Diphasic Aluminosilicate Gels
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent studies have shown that the mullitization of diphasic aluminosilicate matrices comprising transitional alumina and amorphous silica occurs via a nucleation and growth process. Nucleation is preceded by a temperature-dependent incubation period. Following this incubation period, rapid nucleation of mullite occurs, producing about 1.8 X 10" nuclei/cm3, which remains constant throughout the rest of the transformation. Both incubation and mullite growth are thermally activated processes with apparent activation energies of 987 f 63 and 1070 f 200 kJ/mol, respectively. The growth rate of mullite grains under isothermal conditions is time dependent. An interpretation of these results is proposed on the basis of the nucleation and growth concepts of LaMer and Dinegar which supports the concept that the growth rate of mullite grains is controlled by the dissolution of transitional alumina into the amorphous matrix.

Non-Isothermal Dehydration Kinetics of Diphasic Mullite Precursor Gel
Aluminosilicate gel precursor having mullite composition was synthesized from inorganic salts of aluminum and silicon by employing the sol-gel method. Chemical analysis, surface area and bulk density measurements were performed to characterize the dried gel. The course of the mullitization was examined by FT-IR analysis which confirmed the diphasic nature of the gel. ...

Recycling of Coal Fly Ash for the Fabrication of Porous Mullite/Alumina Composites
Coal fly ash with the addition of Al₂O₃ was recycled to produce mullite/alumina composites and the camphene-based freeze casting technique was processed to develop a controlled porous structure with improved mechanical strength. Many rod-shaped mullite crystals, formed by the mullitization of coal fly ash in the presence of enough silicate, melt. After sintering at 1300-1500 °C with the initial...
متن کاملEvidence of zeolitic-like domains in mesostructured aluminosilicates: FTIR spectroscopy of basic probe molecules
The acid properties of mesostructured aluminosilicates synthesized from gels precursors of colloidal ZSM-5 zeolite have been studied by FTIR spectroscopy of basic probe molecules (ammonia, CO and propene). It is shown that these materials possess stronger acid sites with higher thermal stability than those of conventional Al-MCM-41. These results explain the enhaced m-xylene isomerization activ...
