Microstructural evolution, phase transformation, and variations in physical properties of coal series kaolin powder compact during firing

Abstract
Abstract Coal series kaolin (CSK) from coalmine in Shanxi, China was studied in the form of powder compact by using die-pressing technique. Mineralogical, morphological, and chemical characteristics of CSK were given. The microstructural evolution, phase transformation, and relevant variations in physical properties of the fired CSK with elevating temperature were investigated. Results indicated that mullite began to form at the temperature as low as 1002.8 °C. Columnar mullite appeared when firing at 1500 °C. Transformation of cristobalite to liquid phase favored the densification of the fired powder compacts and made them acquire the densest microstructure in 1580–1600 °C temperature interval. Die-pressing technique and flake-like nature of CSK particle induced the interlocking texture on the plane perpendicular to die-pressing direction. Low content of impurities as TiO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 increased the formation temperature of the columnar mullite and endowed samples with high refractoriness (as high as 1600 °C). The advantages of using CSK for industrial ceramic preparation are its high purity, low mullitization temperature, and high refractoriness.
