The design of lightweight wear linings is crucial in terms of the energy and resource
efficiency of industrial furnaces and quality of final products. This review aims to present a …

Silica sol is widely used in the preparation of mullite-based fiber porous ceramics (MFPCs),
but it aggregates at the top surface of MFPCs during the drying process. This leads to the …

Particle-stabilized foams employing dual-phase sol of boehmite in combination with silica to
prepare mullite ceramic foams has been proposed for the first time. The obtained mullite …

The feasibility of converting high-iron electric furnace ferronickel slag (EFFS) and high-
calcium blast furnace ferronickel slag (BFFS) to refractory materials was assessed by …

In this study, the feasibility of using high-alumina refractory waste, namely, silicon carbide-
mullite brick (SMB) and refractory castable (RC), as alternative aggregates in high-friction …

Functional refractory remains critical due to its intrinsic properties such as: saving space,
lightweight and excellent thermal stability to achieve the trade-off between insulating and …

Porous mullite-based ceramics have been developed using a mixture of zeolite-poor rock
and alumina through mechanical activation and reactive sintering. The experimental …

Porous ceramics with more than 99% mullite (3Al 2 O 3· 2SiO 2) content were fabricated at
the low sintering temperature of 800° C using silicon debris and mesoporous aluminum …

Abstract ZrO 2–Al 2 O 3-A 3 S 2 (3Al 2 O 3· 2SiO 2) composites are ideal Casting filter
materials with excellent mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance. In this paper …

This work provides a novel route for the fabrication of mullite ceramics with excellent
mechanical strength using Zircon-Al 2 O 3-modified SiO 2 as silicon source. The results …
