Cordierite Ceramic Synthesis Via Crystallization Of Alkaline-Poor Aluminosilicate Glass.

This study represents an attempt to conduct cordierite ceramic synthesis via crystallization of an alkaline-poor aluminosilicate glass. For this purpose, several glass compositions were prepared and analysed. Glass powder wet cyclone concentrated kaolin. alumina and magnesite were used as raw materials. The sintering process took place actively between 1200-1300 degrees C and ended at 1280-1350 degrees C. The final firing temperature value was inversely proportional to the glass powder contained in the initial composition. Dense and porous ceramics of cordierite structure were produced based on a new process.
