Effect of Raw Material Composition on Microstructures and Properties of Microporous Periclase-Composite Spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)2O4) Ceramics

Abstract

Abstract: In the work, microporous periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄) ceramics was successfully prepared using calcined MgO, Fe₂O₃ and Al(OH)₃ as raw materials by in-situ decomposition synthesis. Meanwhile, the effects of raw material on its microstructures and properties were studied. The results show that when the periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄) content is 0% (mass fraction, the same below), less neck connection form in the sample as well as the compressive strength is low. When the theoretical periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄) content is 4%~16%, the content of the liquid increases and the mass transport accelerates. Then, lots of neck connections form and the compressive strength is high. When the theoretical periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄) content is 24%, the expansion amounts caused by the formation of composite spinel increase so the inter-particle pore size increases and the neck connections decrease. Therefore, the compressive strength of the sample decreases. When the theoretical periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄) content is 12%~16%, microporous periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄) ceramics has excellent comprehensive properties, the apparent porosity of 22.3%~24.6%, the bulk density of 2.75~2.80 g/cm³, the compressive strength of 100.6~123.1 MPa.

Key words: microporous ceramics, periclase-composite spinel (Mg(Fe, Al)₂O₄), raw material composition, in-situ decomposition synthesis method, microstructure, compressive strength
