[ 1 ] - 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. ...
