Study on the In-situ Synthesis of Aluminum Titanate Sintered by Waste Aluminum Slag

Aluminum titanate was in-situ synthesized by using industrial waste-residue in the aluminum factory and TiO2 as the main raw materials and the influence of different reaction temperatures on the purity and microstructures of synthesized products were mainly discussed. The obtained Al2TiO5 was characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and relevant analytical software. The results show that elevating the sintering temperature can increase the content of aluminum titanate; and at 1420 ℃, it reaches the highest in the synthesized ceramic. When the sintering temperature continues to increase, the produced aluminum titanate will decompose resulting in the drop of its content. Therefore, the optimum sintering temperature of in-situ synthesis of aluminum titanate is determined as 1420 ℃, at which the grains of aluminum titanate grow completely, the purity of aluminum titanate is 89.3wt%., the highest density is 2.75 g/cm^3, and the porosity is 9%.     

Preparation and Characterization of High Purity Al（2-x）Mg（x＋y）Ti（1-y）O（5-0.5x-y） Solid Solution

A small amount of mineralizer MgO was added into Al2TiO5 synthesized from the sludge of aluminum factory to form Al（2-x）Mg（x＋y）Ti（1-y）O（5-0.5x-y） solid solution and inhibit the decomposition of Al2TiO5 solid solution. It increased the content of Al2TiO5 solid solution and improved the thermal stability of materials. In this work,XRD and SEM methods were adopted to characterize the crystalline structure and microstructure of each kind of sample. Rietveld Quantification method was used to determine the content of crystalline phases in each sample. Results show as follows： the optimal addition concentration of MgO was 2.0%,and the corresponding content of Al2TiO5 solid solution which displayed irregular bulk shape was 100%; the addition of mineralizer MgO could enhance the flexural strength and thermal stability of Al2TiO5 solid solution materials. The optimal addition concentration of MgO determined by performance analysis was 2.0%,and its corresponding retention rate of thermal-shock flexural strength was 86.4%. Structure analysis and performance analysis resulted in good accordance.

The impacts of different formulas on the structure and properties of the multiphase material were investigated. With XRD and SEM analyses, for each sample, the crystal structure and microstructure were characterized, the crystalline phase content and cell parameters were determined with Rietveld Quantification software, and the properties were tested. The comparative optimal formula determined was calcinated chamotte of 80wt% and calcinated sludge of 20wt%; and its corresponding bending strength and retention rate of bending strength after a thermal shock were 29.74 MPa and 80.15%, respectively.

Influence of TiO_2 Mineralizer on the Crystalline Structure of Cordierite Synthesized from Aluminum Slag

By adding small amount of TiO2, aluminum slag could be used to synthesize cor-dierite, α-Al2O3, TiO2 and dehydrated talc could generate solid solution to accelerate the solid-state reaction to form cordierite. The experimental results show that the content of cordierite increases with the increase of TiO2 added. 3.0% of TiO2 is determined to be the best amount, because all crystalline substances are converted into cordierite at this content. Philips X‘pert plus software analysis shows that when the content of TiO2 is from 0 to 1.0%, cordierite has the same hexagonal structure as the single crystal and the lattice parameters change slightly; when the content of TiO2 is from 1.0 to 2.0%, the cordierite still keeps hexagonal structure but the lattice parameters change greatly; when the content of TiO2 is from 2.0 to 3.5%, the cordierite is converted from hexagonal into rhombic and the lattice parameters change accordingly.     

Studies on the Influence of Sintering Temperature on Crystalline Structures of Mg-Al Spinel Synthesized by Waste Aluminum Slag

Mg-Al spinel is synthesized by using industrial waste-residue and basic mag- nesium carbonate in the aluminum factory as the main raw materials. The influence of sintering temperature on crystalline structure and microstructure of Mg-Al spinel has been mainly discussed. The crystalline structure of sample is characterized by using XRD, SEM and relevant analytical software. The experimental results show that compared to the conventional synthetic method, the application of waste aluminum slag as the raw material can greatly decrease the synthetic tem- perature. The content of Mg-Al spinel first increases and then decreases with the rise of sintering temperature, and its purity can reach as high as 96wt% at 1550 ℃, which is therefore determined to be the optimum synthetic temperature. SEM observations demonstrate that as the rise of sintering temperature, the grain of Mg-Al spinel grows up obviously with typical octahedral characteristic appearance.

Effect of boric acid on properties of high‐alumina phosphate‐bonded plastic refractory materials

The effect of boric acid on the properties of high‐alumina phosphate‐bonded plastic refractory materials at medium temperature is investigated in this work. Powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques are used to investigate the compositions and microstructures of the Al₂O₃–H₃BO₃ sintering products, in order to study the influence of the generated aluminum borate on the high‐aluminum refractories. Additionally, the effect of the addition of H₃BO₃ on the densification and mechanical strength of high‐aluminum phosphate‐bonded plastic refractories is studied by the permanent linear change, apparent porosity, cold compressive strength, flexural strength, and scanning electron microscopy pattern. The densification and mechanical strength of the refractories can be improved significantly by the optimal addition of H₃BO₃. However, excess H₃BO₃ will bring about a large amount of bound water into the refractories, and superabundant aluminum borate whiskers will be generated by the excess addition of H₃BO₃, both of them resulting in the reduction of the densification and mechanical strength of the refractory. In conclusion, the optimum dosages of H₃BO₃ in the powder system of high‐alumina phosphate‐bonded plastic refractories are 5, 4, and 3 wt%, sintered at 700, 900, and 1100 °C, respectively.

Toward a quantitative description of the anodic oxide films on aluminum

A method to quantify the composition of anodic oxide films on aluminum using Infrared Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (IRSE) is proposed. It consists of obtaining the absorption coefficient of the film as a function of wavelength. Using values of the absorption coefficients for the pure components of the film, the percentages (mole or wt%) of each component in the sample can be calculated.The method is demonstrated in a study of the structure of the oxide film on electropolished aluminum and the anodically formed barrier layer film. Both surface oxides were found to be initially a form of amorphous Al₂O₃. While the barrier film is essentially free of water as prepared, the film on electropolished aluminum contained about 25 wt% water. Hydration of both types of films by immersion in boiling water results in the formation of pseudoboehmite (AlOOH). The technique may have more general applicability to the quantitative determination of the composition of corrosion films and other surface layers on metals.

In the sample, the proporticn of anatase to rutile is 7：3, which makes l0 mg·L^-1 methyl orange solution fade after irradiation by 15W ultraviolet light for 24 h, and the degradation rate might be up to 98.1%.
