A resource-saving technology of porous ceramic materials using low-quality non-sintering sandy loam as a basic raw material has been developed. Based on the analysis of the plastic properties of two- and three-component ceramic masses, including sandy loam, expanded clay and fuel slag in various ratios, it was found that the required level of their plasticity provides the content of the main raw material in the following range (wt%): fuel slag – 15 – 20; sandy loam – 50 – 65; expanded clay – 20 – 30. By the method of planning the experiment, the rational composition of the three-component ceramic mass was substantiated. This which contains: 62.5 wt.  % sandy loam, 20 wt. % medium-sintering plastic clay as a plasticizer and 17.5 wt. % fuel slag of TPP as a porous agent. For the developed mass, the main technological properties were investigated, which made it possible to recommend the drying mode of the raw material – 60 hours, the optimal firing temperature – 950 °С. Such conditions ensure that samples are obtained without drying cracks and signs of deformation. Оn the results of dilatometric analysis of mass  the rational mode of firing high-hollow semifinished products was designed. The firing mode provides for a 44-hour firing and a decrease in the heating rates in the areas of dehydration of clay minerals, direct quartz transition and intensive sintering of the mass, as well as a decrease in the cooling rate in the area of the reverse quartz transition. The proposed firing mode provides the degree of sintering and their properties necessary for ceramic materials. Based on the developed mass under the recommended drying and firing modes, porous ceramic materials with an apparent density of 1.48 g/cm3, a compressive strength of 18.2 MPa and frost resistance of 30 cycles were obtained. The developed materials belong to the group of conditionally effective, and if 50% of the voids are organized, they can be classified as effective.

The results of studies of sintering of spinel porous ceramics using aluminum and magnesium oxides as initial components without sintering additives are presented. It is shown that the optimal burning temperature range for the production of materials with an open-cellular porous structure is 1700‒1730 °C. It has been established that the preliminary heat treatment of oxides significantly affects the mechanical characteristics of materials. Materials were obtained with an interconnected porosity of up to 85 % and a compressive strength of up to 1,0 MPa. Ill. 6. Ref. 25.

The paper discusses the EU directive and the rules for disposing of sewage treatment plant (STP) sludge and storage conditions that have been adopted, it does not fully cover possible use of STP sludge for industrial purposes. One of the ways of reducing amount of sludge is treatment of this waste for further application as additive or raw material for producing building materials. Manufacturing of porous ceramic materials from local raw materials (e.g. clay) using water treatment sludge and sawdust as combustible filler is possible. In order to reduce the sludge humidity, freezing method was used, where sludge give away more loose water in the process of thawing. It was proved during the research that sewage treatment plant sludge can be used to make porous ceramic materials.

The goal of this work is the description of phenomena occurring during centrifugal infiltration of porous ceramic materials by liquid Al alloy. In this method, the pressure required to infiltration of liquid metal into pores of ceramic is generated by centrifugal force. From the beginning it was assumed that the porous ceramic material will create reinforcement layer in specific area of the casting. The forces that influence on the liquid metal during mould centrifugation and heat exchange between ceramic preform and metal alloy within the area of the front of infiltration were considered in the analysis. The paper presents also selected experiment results.

The advantages of using ceramics in advanced heat engines include increased fuel efficiency due to higher engine operating temperatures, more compact designs with lower capacity cooling system. Future internal combustion engines will be characterized by near zero emission level along with low specific fuel consumption. Homogenous combustion which realized inside the engine cylinder has the potential of providing near zero emission level with better fuel economy. However, the accomplishment of homogeneous combustion depends on the air flow structure inside the combustion chamber, fuel injection conditions and turbulence as well as ignition conditions. Various methods and procedures are being adopted to establish the homogeneous combustion inside the engine cylinder. In recent days, porous ceramic materials are being introduced inside the combustion chamber to achieve the homogeneous combustion. This paper investigates the desirable structures, types, and properties of such porous ceramic materials and their positive influence on the combustion process.

In order to lay raw materials foundation for increasing the performance of insulating brick with the low grade quartz sand along the Yangtze River, the quartz porous ceramic materials was researched in this paper. The results show the porosity of the porous quartz ceramics decreased with an increase in the sintering temperature. The pore is like the bowl shape, and the pore is closed pore, which is help to improve the heat insulation property of quartz porous ceramics. The CaSiO4 is produced in the ceramics after sintering processing. The shape is better, and the microstructure is circular and symmetrical pore, which is help to improve the mechanical property of quartz porous ceramics.

The paper considers the process of pyrolysis of polymers-precursors, and also shows the influence of various parameters of technological processes for obtaining ceramics on its composition, structure, and properties. The main types of binary, ternary and multicomponent silicon-based ceramics, methods of its preparation, features of structure and properties are considered, and promising directions of application of ceramics are determined. The possibility of obtaining porous ceramic materials (ceramic foams) with controlled porosity and ceramic composite materials with a given composition is noted.
