Abstract Herein, porous wollastonite ceramics with high porosity and low density were successfully fabricated with silicate tailings and electrolytic manganese slag (MS) as primary raw materials. The influences of calcination temperature, SiC and MS addition amounts on porosity, water adsorption, pore distribution, bulk density and bending strength were systematically studied. The results showed that 0.4 wt% of SiC was optimal for the ceramic foaming at the sintering temperature of 1140 ℃. The addition of MS promoted the foaming of ceramic matrix at low temperature. The porosity of ceramics reduced from 78.4–63.7%, bulk density elevated from 0.96 to 1.13 g/cm3, and bending strength increased from 8.43 to 11.22 MPa as the MS increased from 8.33 wt% to 46.67 wt%. Moreover, the best corrosion resistance performance reached to 99.55% with 8.33 wt% MS content and sintering temperature of 1160 ℃. This work is of significance for the solid waste utilization.

An Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was prepared with Fe-Fe2O3-Al2O3 powder by a hot press sintering method. The mass ratio was 6:1:2, sintering pressure was 30 MPa, and holding time was 120 min. The raw materials for the powder particles were respectively 1 µm (Fe), 0.5 µm (Fe2O3), and 1 µm (Al2O3) in diameter. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was studied. The results showed that Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was formed by in situ reaction at 1300 °C–1500 °C. With the increased sintering temperature, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite showed a change law that initially became better and then became worse. The best microstructure and optimal mechanical properties were obtained at 1400 °C. At this temperature, the grain size of Fe and FeAl2O4 phases in Fe/FeAl2O4 composite was uniform, the relative density was 96.7%, and the Vickers hardness and bending strength were 1.88 GPa and 280.0 MPa, respectively. The wettability between Fe and FeAl2O4 was enhanced with increased sintering temperature. And then the densification process was accelerated. Finally, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Fe/FeAl2O4 composite were improved.

Porous ceramics were produced by compaction method of Nigerian clay and cassava starch. The samples were prepared by adding an amount from 5 to 30%wt of cassava starch into the clay and sintered at temperature of 900-1300°C. The influence of cassava starch content on the bulk density and apparent porosity was studied. The result of XRD and DTA/TGA shows that the optimum sintering temperature was found to be 1300°C. The percentage porosity increased from 12.87 to 43.95% while bulk density decreased from 2.16 to 1.46g/cm3 with the increase of cassava starch from 5 to 30%wt. The effect of sintering temperature and cassava starch content improved the microstructure in terms of porosity and the thermal properties of porous clay for various applications which requires a specific porosity.

Manganese slag is a kind of industrial waste produced by electrolytic production of manganese metal. The traditional method of stacking manganese slag not only causes waste of resources, but also produces environmental pollution. Finding harmless, effective, and economical disposal technology of manganese slag has gradually become a research hotspot and difficulty in the field of electrolytic manganese industry and environmental protection. To verify the feasibility of using manganese slag as roadbed material, the basic physical and chemical properties of manganese slag were analyzed based on X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectrum, SEM scanning electron microscope, and particle analysis, the basic engineering characteristics of raw materials of manganese slag and solidified manganese slag mixed with quicklime were analyzed through a compaction test and a CBR test. Finally, based on the Monte Carlo method, the stability of a highway slope in the Guizhou Province of China is simulated by the finite element method, considering the spatial variability of manganese slag material strength parameters. The results show that the solidified manganese slag material can be used as highway subgrade material. This study has important reference significance for manganese slag highway construction projects.

In this paper, clay bonded silicon carbide was prepared through pressureless sintering process with silicon carbide dusting powder as raw materials and clay as sintering additive. The effects of the ball-milling method, sintering temperature and clay contents on the density, microstructure and mechanical properties of clay bonded silicon carbide refractory were studied. The planetary ball-milling was a good method to improve the density of the green body, and the density was increased simultaneously with an increase of the clay content. The liquid phase derived from low-melting eutectic mixtures of clay could prevent the superlative oxidation of silicon carbide. The mass increment of sintered samples decreased firstly and then increased at the sintering temperature range from 1250 to 1500 °C. The open porosity of samples decreased with the clay addition at a content range from 10 to 30 wt.%. The bending strength of the samples decreased firstly and then increased with the clay addition increasing. The optimum condition for preparing clay bonded silicon carbide with silicon carbide dusting powder was sintering at 1350 °C with 20 wt.% clay, and the obtained sample with a porosity of 24% achieved the bending strength of 78±7 MPa.

Si3N4-SiCpcomposites reinforced byin situcatalytic formed nanofibers were prepared at a relatively low sintering temperature. The effects of catalyst Co on the phase compositions, microstructures, and physicochemical-mechanical properties of samples sintered at 1350°C–1450°C were investigated. The results showed that the catalyst Co enhanced the nitridation of Si. With the increase of Co addition (from 0 wt% to 2.0 wt.%), the apparent porosity of as-prepared refractories was initially decreased and subsequently increased, while the bulk density and the bending strength exhibited an opposite trend. TheSi3N4-SiCpcomposites sintered at 1400°C had the highest strength of 60.2 MPa when the Co content was 0.5 wt.%. The catalyst Co facilitated the sintering ofSi3N4-SiCpcomposites as well as the formation of Si3N4nanofibers which exhibited network connection and could improve their strength.
