Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

Several types of ceramic Raschig rings have been developed for extreme chemical and waste treatment processes. The compressive strength and reliability of ceramic Raschig rings are basically affected by the mixing ratio of the materials used and the quality control of the shaping process. To optimize the above-mentioned properties, various experiments have been conducted. In the present investigation polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose and Arabic gum were selected and used in an experimental design algorithm. Different amounts of binders were added to a typical kaolin under conditions similar to those found in industrial practice. Different combinations of clay and binders were prepared according to the mixture design algorithm and shaped with the extrusion technique. The test rings were sintered at 1270 ÂºC and characterized by determining their linear shrinkage, water absorption, porosity and compressive strength. The strength data were statistically analyzed based on the Weibull theory to mathematically describe the reliability of the rings. Regression models were calculated for correlating the above properties in order to optimize the binder mixing ratio. The suitable amounts of binders were reported and the variation in the Weibull modulus was confirmed by means of scanning electron microscopy.
