Influence of Fillers on Silicate Compositions Porization

The article is devoted to the problem of raw material base expanding and improving construction and technical properties of porous granular materials. The results of experimental studies of silicate compositions based on liquid glass and technogenic fillers containing burnable or gas-forming components are presented. Influence of molding mixtures’ composition on thermal expansion nature of granular compositions was established. Preference of a filler combined, containing glass cullet, silica clay and mineral additives was revealed. Multicomponent composition of a filler helps to intensify composition’s expansion. Electron microscopy studies of porous silicate granules have confirmed the advantages of combined fillers using. Effectiveness of sodium additive introduction to regulate technological properties of the raw material and the process of pores formation has been proven. Expediency of mechanical activation of a raw mixture to reduce the temperature of expansion and obtain granules with a bulk density of not more than 300 kg/m3 has been determined.

In situ creation of multi-metallic species inside porous silicate materials with tunable catalytic properties

Porous metal silicate (PMS) material PMS-11, consisting of uniformly distributed multi-metallic species inside the pores, is synthesized by using a discrete multi-metal coordination complex as the template, demonstrating high catalytic...
