Reticulated silicon carbide porous ceramics was fabricated through organic foam infiltration process by using silicon carbide slurry prepared from silicon carbide, alumina and clay and other raw materials. The effect of solid content on the viscosity and Zeta potential of the slurry were investigated. The results showed that the viscosity of slurry increased with the increase of the solid content. The absolute value of Zeta potential increased with the increase of pH value of the slurry from acid to alkaline aptitudes, and it became smaller with the further increase of the pH value. The maximum was reached at the pH around 10. The viscosity of slurry in the range of 4000mPas ~ 5000mPas was appropriate to prepare reticulated silicon carbide porous ceramics. The sintered body collapsed or cracked apparently, when the viscosity was too low. On the other hand, the viscosity could not be too high because its hard for slurry to impregnate foam. The performance of the samples coated once and recoated was compared. The porosity of the sample with one layer was higher than that of the samples with two layers. However, the recoating process improved the compressive strength and flexural strength of the reticulated silicon carbide porous ceramic.

Zeta potential of purified sepiolite in aqueous system was studied as a function of pH and solid content. From the experimental results, it was found that sepiolite surface acquired a negative charge in water at natural pH, and the value of zeta potential decreased with the increase of pH value. Solid content had effect on zeta potential, but it can be minimized by the increase of time.

Porous acicular mullite ceramic was prepared by in-situ reaction sintering, using clay materials and Al (OH)3) as the raw materials. The influences of different clay materials on the phase composition, formation of acicular grains and microstructure of prepared porous ceramics were investigated. Results show that the metal oxide impurities were beneficial for the synthesis of acicular mullite. The prepared porous ceramic from Longyan kaolin with high impurity content has the highest mullite content of 93.5%, and composed of interlaced acicular grains with high slenderness ratio of 26.4 and large average diameter of about 0.7μm when sintered 1400°C for 2h. The TEM analysis indicates that the growth direction of acicular grains is along the [001] direction (c axis) of orthorhombic mullite crystals.

Nano-ceramics with excellent strength, toughness, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and the like metals superplasticity show an attractive application prospect. However, the production of high density of nano-ceramics is very difficult. This paper focuses on the preparation of concentrated suspension slurry, the main technical parameters and the additive proportion of raw materials. The optimum dosage of dispersant PAANa is 1.4wt%. When the PH value is about 9, the best stability of slurry is achieved. When the milling time reaches 10h, the lowest viscosity is reached. The solid content viscosity of slurry increases with the decrease of the slurry temperature. Solid phase volume with 40vol% of slurry can be successfully cast out the mould homogeneously.

Coal gangue is a kind of waste from coal mine processing. Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFC), a new type of inorganic composite coagulant, was prepared by using the waste from the Mineral Bureau of Yanzhou, China, hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate as raw materials. The relationship between the stability of ferric ion and the ionic strength of solution was investigated. The zeta potential of PAFC hydrolysis products of PAFC and the coagulation performances under different pH value were discussed. The turbidity removal properties of PAFC, polyaluminium (PAC) and polyferric sulfate (PFS) were compared, and the color removal effect of PAFC for the wastewater containing suspended dyes was also tested. In addition, the coagulation performance of PAFC for actual wastewaters from petrochemical plant, iron and steel plant, and coal mining processing was evaluated. The experimental results suggest that PAFC took a maximum value of zeta potential at about pH 5.8 on the positive side. Compared with PAC, PAFC gives better turbidity removal performance in the range of pH from 7.0 to 8.4. PAFC gives good color removal performance on suspension dyes. PAFC also gives good wastewater purifying results for the actual wastewater. Therefore, PAFC is a high-effect and stable water treatment agent.

Anxiety of society about global warming is increasingly growing and interest about construction materials that are less harmful to the environment is growing as well. Manufactures and scientists are urged to think about the usage of more effective resources, which are available and necessary for production, as well as to find possibilities and solutions for the decrease of primary energy resource depletion by producing ecological materials. Clay is one of local raw materials that can help solving growing problems by production of ceramic materials and their products, as well as more widely distributed sediments, which mainly form the upper part of Earth’s crust. Alongside traditional ceramic materials, porous ceramics are also widely researched, becoming an increasingly popular material in the world, mainly owing to their wide possibilities of usage in different technical and technology industries – from construction to mechanical engineering, health industry and even space technology. Obtaining porous ceramics using different kind of burnable fillers, such as natural products obtained as waste from agricultural industry, as well as controllable form products obtained from polymers, allow to form desirable porous structures within wide ranges: with pore dimensions starting from some micrometers up to 2-3 millimeters. Porous ceramic materials obtained within this research are breathing, they are thermostable materials, resistant to thermal impacts, corrosion and are easy in processing. During the presented research porous ceramics were produced using different kinds of burnable fillers. The optimal burning treatment was developed for obtaining required mechanical properties of porous ceramics. The physical-mechanical properties of obtained ceramics were evaluated.
