Recycling of waste red mud for fabrication of SiC/mullite composite porous ceramics
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract SiC/mullite composite porous ceramics were fabricated from recycled solid red mud (RM) waste. The porous ceramics were formed using a graphite pore forming agent, RM, Al(OH)3 and SiC in the presence of catalysts. The influence of firing temperature and the pore-forming agent content on the mechanical performance, porosity and the microstructure of the porous SiC ceramics were investigated. Optimal preparation condition were determined by some testing. The results indicated that the flexural strength of specimens increased as a function of firing temperature and a reduction in graphite content, which concomitantly decreased porosity. The ceramic prepared under optimal conditions having 15 wt% graphite and sintered at 1350 °C, demonstrated excellent performance. Under optimal preparation conditions the flexural strength and porosity of the ceramic were 49.4 MPa and 31.4%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy observation result showed that rod-shape mullite grains endowed the samples with high flexural strength and porosity. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the main crystallization phases of the porous ceramics were 6H-SiC, mullite, cristobalite and alumina. This work demonstrates that RM can be sucessfully reused as a new raw material for SiC/mullite composite porous ceramics.
