High strength lightweight glass-ceramics were fabricated with coal gangue and clay as main raw materials. The utilization ratio of coal gangue, the ratio of the coal gangue with clay, mineralization agents, forming process and sintering process on the properties of the fabricated glass-ceramics were optimized. The utilization ratio of coal gangue reached 75, and the ratio of coal gangue to clay was 3/1, as an optimal property was observed. The optimal sintering temperature was found to be 1370?C. At this optimal temperature, the sintered glass-ceramics showed the main phase of mullite and spindle and so showed high strength, low density, and low water absorbance. The appropriate amounts of codoping of the TiO2, ZnO, and MnO2/dolomite as mineralization agents obviously enhanced the properties of the glass-ceramics. Process optimizations further determined reasonable and optimal process parameters. The high strength lightweight glass-ceramics fabricated in this work may be very suitable for various applications including building materials, cooking ceramics, and proppant materials, et al.

The construction industry continues to develop and the requirements for cement performance are getting higher and higher. At the same time, in the steel industry, the discharge of steel slag is also increasing. The effective reuse of steel slag has become a prominent problem in the steel industry. . Therefore, it is envisaged to use steel slag as a raw material for the cement production process to produce cement and to produce high-performance cement. The main raw materials of this experiment are steel slag, limestone, sandstone and shale. Through the cement preparation process, the cement is made, and then the cement is made into concrete to test its performance. This experiment mainly studies the sintering temperature and holding time variable. In the experimental test, the analysis and comparison were carried out in five aspects of the degree of macroscopic cracking, particle size, density, microstructure and composition. In the comparison experiment of sintering temperature, with the increase of temperature, the flexural and compressive properties of cement gradually increased. In this test, 1200 °C is the most suitable temperature for the performance of the cement. Through the experimental comparison of different holding time, it is known that with the prolonging of the holding time, the microstructure and actual performance of the cement are continuously enhanced. Comprehensive consideration: the ratio of steel slag in cement ratio is 10%, sintering temperature is 1200 °C, and heat preservation is 2h. The steel slag cement prepared under this condition has the strongest performance.

In order to reduce the raw materials cost, lower the sintering temperature of 3Y-TZP optical fiber ferrules, the 3Y-TZP/ LAS glass ceramics composites were prepared and their properties were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the sintering temperatures and thermal expansion coefficients of the 3Y-TZP/LAS glass ceramics composites were lowered with the increase of glass content. The flexural strength of the composites were decreased with the increase of glass content, but the flexural strength of the composite with 15% weight glass was higher than 400MPa. The LAS glass powder added into the composites was crystallized and b-spodumene s.s was precipitated. during sintering. The b-spodumene s.s. having lower thermal expansion coefficient and higher strength was beneficial to reduce thermal expansion coefficients and keep higher strengths of the composites .

The combustion of fossil fuels results in creating a lot of solid wastes such as fly ash and slag. However, these environmentally unfriendly materials can be used as a raw material for alkali activation – geopolymerization. Although these wastes have been successfully used in industrial production for several decades, its use does not achieve the level of its potential. Today, to achieve a sustainable construction industry, alternative cement has been extensively investigated. Geopolymer (GP) is a kind of material that is obtained from the alkaline activator, and it can be produced from industrial wastes or by-products. The aim of this work was to describe the improvement of mechanical properties of alkali-activated binders – geopolymers made of fly ash and blast furnace slag. The effect of the addition of waste glass in three different values feed into fly ash or GGBFS, and its impact on mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strengths) of geopolymers was examined. The highest value of compressive strength was achieved with 20% waste glass addition to a fly ash sample on 90th day 58,9 MPa. The waste glass was added in the form of broken and crushed glass particles.

Diopside glass-ceramics were prepared by reactive crystallization with mixed powder of waste glass and mullite. The effects of mullite content and sintering temperature and holding time on the crystal phase and morphology of diopside glass-ceramics were investigated. The reactive crystallizing behavior between waste glass powder and mullite was studied using energy dispersive spectrdmeter during the sintering and holding process. The result show that the optimum preparation conditions were as follows: the addition of 30 wt% mullite used as crystallization promoting agent, sintering temperature of 900 °C and holding time of 2h. The main difference between reactive crystallization method and the traditional method of preparing diopside glass-ceramics was the reactive crystallization mechanism. The diopside and corundum crystals were formed via an interaction between glass powder and mullite instead of direct precipitation from the parent glass during the calcining and holding process. With the increasing of sintering temperature and holding time, the Ca and Mg element concents of the glass were increased, on the contrary, that Si element concent was decreased in the mullite. It shows that the Si element diffused from mullite to glass and precipitated diopside crystals.

Abstract Using the mixed powder of TiH2, V, Al and graphite as raw materials, porous TiVAlC ceramics were successfully prepared with the reaction synthesis method at only 1300℃. The pore-formation mechanism in the sintering process is discussed by combining XRD, pore size variation and sintering temperature. The formation of pores is mainly based on the following processes: (i) During the green compaction pressing, the pores formed by the gaps among the raw material powder particles; (ii) Stearic acid is completely decomposed at 500℃; (iii) TiH2 is completely decomposed at 700°C; (iv) Molten aluminum reacts with titanium and vanadium at 700℃ to generate titanium-aluminum and vanadium-aluminum compounds; (v) With the sintering temperature varying from 900℃ to 1100°C, excess titanium, vanadium and graphite generate a large amount of carbides (TiC, VC, TiVC2); (vi) Ti-Al and V-Al compounds react with carbides (TiC, VC, TiVC2) to form the final product TiVAlC at 1300℃.The effects of the sintering temperature on the volume expansion ratio, porosity, pore size and viscous permeability coefficient of porous TiVAlC ceramics were investigated. The results illustrated that the porosity, volume expansion rate and viscous permeability coefficient increased with the increase of sintering temperature from 700℃ to 1300℃, whereas the pore diameter first decreased from 6.2 μm to 5.0 μm, and then increased to 10.2 μm.
