Porous SiAlON ceramics were fabricated by carbo-thermal reduction nitridation method using Fe2O3 as pore former. Particle size effects of Fe2O3 were reported in this paper. The results showed that composites were composed by SiAlON, AlN and Iron Silicon phases. The median pore diameter of Sialon was affected by the composition and particle size of Fe2O3. The fracture mode of this material was intergranular. With the increase of Fe2O3 additions, the porosity of this materials increased. The bending strength of this material was reversely proportional to Fe2O3 particle size. The maximum bending strength of Porous materials with 30wt.% Fe2O3 additions (with a porosity about 65% and the pore size is about 1μm) could reach 22 MPa. The porous Sialon ceramics with a smaller pore size exhibited a higher bending strength.

Porous carbon monoliths are prepared by carbonization of a simple polymer blend, in which phenolic resin (PF) as carbon precursor, polyvinyl butyral as pore former and activated carbon as conducting additive and contraction inhibitor are used to make polymer blend. The results show that the carbon monoliths, with a narrow pore size distribution with mean controlled diameters in the sub-micron/micron range, can be easily produced by controlling the stabilization temperature of the PF, the carbonization temperature, and particle diameters of the precursor powders. The pore size decrease as the stabilization temperature of the PF increases or the particle diameters of the precursor powders decreases. The electrical resistance of the carbon monoliths decreases as the carbonization temperature increases, but the average pore diameter and volume of the carbon monoliths are almost constant as the carbonization temperature increases.

Porous materials of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-Ca3(PO4)2; β-TCP) were prepared from porous hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2; HA) with calcium deficient composition of Ca/P molar ratio of 1.50 synthesized by hydrothermal method. The porous β-TCP was composed of rod-shaped particles of about 10-20 μm in length. Rod-shaped particles were locked together to make micro-pores, and the size of micro-pores formed by tangling of rod-shaped particles was about 0.1-0.5 μm. The particle size and micro-pore size could be controlled by our unique method. It must be suitable for the bone graft material and as the scaffold of cultured bone.

Abstract Silicon-bonded silicon carbide (SBSC) porous ceramics had been prepared by mixing two different particle size of SiC powder (coarse and fine) as aggregates for silicon carbide porous ceramics, adding metallic Si as the binder phase and firing at 1450 °C under argon atmosphere. Various combinations of SiC mixtures consisting of two different particle size and packing density were prepared, and the samples were investigated to understand apparent porosity, bending strength, pore size distribution, and microstructure. The result showed that mixing an appropriate proportion of SiC coarse and fine powders could not only improve the pore size distribution of SBSC porous ceramics but also significantly increase the bending strength compared with the single-particle size sample. The system had the highest free packing density when the ratio of coarse to fine SiC size was >2 and the coarse powder content was 60-70 wt%. The optimal bending strength, and apparent porosity were 37.53 MPa and 37.11% respectively when mixing 70 wt% of coarse powder (50.8 μm) and 30 wt% of fine powder (9.5 μm) and sintered at 1450 ℃ in an argon atmosphere. The material created had 100.3% increased bending strength, and 0.99% decreased porosity compared with the single-particle size sample (50.8 μm).

The porous cordierite-mullite ceramics were prepared by the pore-forming in-situ technique. The characterizations of porous cordierite-mullite ceramics were determined by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a microscopy measured method, etc., and the effect of particle size on phase composition, pore characterization and strength were investigated. It?s found that particle size affects strongly the formations of cordierite and mullite, and then changes the pore characterization and strength. With the decrease of the particle size, the sintering temperature at which the formations of cordierite and mullite take place extremely fast decreases, the pore size distribution becomes from bi-peak mode to mono-peak mode, the porosity and the median pore size decrease but strength increases. The most opposite mode is the specimen sintered at 1400 ?C from the grinded powder with an average particle size of 10.2 ?m, which consists of cordierite, mullite and minor spinel, and has a high apparent porosity (40 %), a high compressive strength (58.4 MPa), a small median pore size (6.3 ?m) and well-developed necks between particles.

One of the main means of reducing aerodynamic noise is the use of silencers, which can be made of various porous materials, depending on the specific operating conditions. The aim of the work is to study the dependence of the noise reduction on the characteristics of porous permeable materials (PPM) obtained by vibration molding from metal powders. Such PPMs have a wide range of porosity, high permeability, mechanical strength, provide the ability to work in a wide temperature range, high corrosion resistance, and therefore find more and more widespread application in practice. When designing silencers, their pore size, permeability, mechanical strength, cost, and the chemical composition of the material are taken into account. Basic research methods – determination of noise level, powder particle size, permeability coefficient, pore size. Vibration molding of PPM samples for experimental studies was carried out on a ВЭДС 10-1А vibration bench with vibration parameters that ensured the maximum bulk density of the powder in the mold (acceleration 10 m/s2, frequency 500 Hz). Main results – the dependence of the noise reduction value on the PPM characteristics obtained by the method of vibration molding of metal powders of various grades of various particle size distribution was studied. It has been shown that the most effective damping is provided by PPM from spherical bronze powder of the БрОФ10-1 grade with particle sizes of 350–400 microns, which provides at the same time a combination of a high level of noise reduction and high permeability to air or gas. It was found that the thickness of the muff significantly affects the efficiency of noise suppression, while the minimum thickness of the muff, which provides a sufficiently high degree of noise reduction, is about 3.5 mm, therefore it is not practical to increase the thickness of the muffler material above this value.

Abstract Surface sediment samples obtained at the offshore and nearshore area of Lake Erie were separated into eight different size fractions ranging from <2 µm to 250 µm. The concentration of major elements (Si, Al, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Mn and P), metals (Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, V, Co and Pb) and organic matter was determined together with the mineralogical composition and morphology of the particles in each size fraction. The distribution of the metals in the offshore sediment was bimodal with the majority of the metals divided between the 63 to 250 um size fraction which also contained the highest concentration of organic matter (about 20%) and the <4 µm fraction containing up to 60% of clay minerals. However, the metals in the nearshore sediment were associated mainly with the clay minerals.

Confined bed comminution in high-pressure grinding rollers (HPGRs) and vertical roller mills (VRMs) was previously used preferably for grinding comparably homogeneous materials such as coal or clinker. Meanwhile, it started to complement or even replace tumbling mills in ore beneficiation with ore and gangue particles of rather different breakage behaviors. The selectivity in the comminution of a mixture of particles with different strengths but similar particle size distribution (PSD) of the constituents in a particle bed was investigated earlier. The strength of a material is, however, also a function of particle size. Finer particles tend to be more competent than coarser ones of the same material. In industrial ore processing using confined bed comminution, this effect cannot be neglected but even be exploited to increase efficiency. This paper presents research results on this topic based on experimental investigations with model materials and with natural particles, which were stressed in a piston–die press. It appeared that the comminution result substantially depends on the material characteristics, the composition of the mixture and the PSD of the constituents. Conclusions will be drawn for the future applications of selective comminution in mineral processing.
