The alarming rate at which the available fossil fuel-based resources are depleting has
raised grave concerns among all stakeholders about the future of the world. These limited …

In this work, mullite/cordierite precursor powder was prepared through a technology of low-
temperature synthesis by using the sol-gel process, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as a …

The main goal of this work is to study the effects of some transition metal-oxides, ie ZnO,
TiO2, and Fe2O3, on inhibition of spinel formation during cordierite fabrication from granite …

The primary objective of this study is to showcase the ability of clay materials to develop
ceramics that offer radiation shielding capabilities that are correlated to their mechanical and …

Cordierite foam ceramics (CFCs) were prepared using kyanite tailings (KT) and other
polishing materials to demonstrate a resourceful application of KT. The reaction mechanism …

In order to assess the feasibility of utilizing soapstone waste, which is generated during the
production of stone blocks for fireplaces and other energy-saving devices, the effect of its …

One of the key problems to overcome, in the development of electronic substrates, is that of
thermal distortion because of thermal mismatch between silicon and the substrate. The aim …

This work reports, for the first time, the kinetics of α-cordierite (Mg 2 Al 4 Si 5 O 18) formation
from Al 2 O 3, SiO 2, and MgO nano-oxide powders. Isothermal and non-isothermal kinetic …

The conventional approach to generate pores in ceramic membranes involves the
incorporation of a pore-forming element. However, this method tends to diminish the …

Samples of the ternary system MgO–Al 2 O 3–SiO 2 with stoichiometric composition in
relation to α-cordierite (Mg 2 A l4 Si 5 O 18), consisting of 22.2 mol% MgO, 22.2 mol% Al 2 O …
