A method of making a proppant may include mixing an alumina- or aluminosilicate-containing material and diatomaceous earth to form a precursor composition, pelletizing the precursor composition, and sintering the pelletized precursor composition to form a sintered proppant having a connected porosity greater than or equal to about 5%. A method of treating a fracture site may include delivering a sintered proppant including an active agent to a well site, and dispersing the active agent from the sintered proppant within the well site.

Provided is a method for producing an inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic material, which can produce, at a high yield, an inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic material with fewer defects, and with an end part and a central part equivalent to each other in microstructure and mechanical properties, and also makes it possible to increase the ceramic material in size. The method for producing an inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic material is characterized in that it includes: a first pressing step of setting, in a carbon die, a laminate to be surrounded by a ceramic powder, the laminate obtained by stacking a coated inorganic fiber shaped product including an inorganic fiber part of inorganic fibers that have a pyrolysis initiation temperature of 1900° C. or lower, and a surface layer of an inorganic substance for bonding the inorganic fibers to each other, and pressing the laminate at a temperature of 1000 to 1800° C. and a pressure of 5 to 50 MPa in an inert gas atmosphere; and a second pressing step of pressing a ceramic coated laminate obtained in the first pressing step at a temperature of 1600 to 1900° C., which is higher than that in the first pressing step, and at a pressure of 5 to 100 MPa in an inert gas atmosphere.

A method for making a thin, free-standing ceramic sheet may include drawing a carrier film proximate a casting head and across a casting bed of a tape caster at a rate from about 2 cm/min to about 500 cm/min. Depositing a thin film of ceramic slip less than about 150 μm on the carrier film with the casting head. The ceramic slip may comprises a ceramic powder with an ultimate crystallite size of less than about 10 μm dispersed in a fluid vehicle such that the ceramic slip has a ceramic solids fraction of greater than about 20% by volume. The deposited ceramic slip may be dried on the carrier film thereby forming a green ceramic sheet on the carrier film. After the green ceramic sheet is dried, the green ceramic sheet may be sintered.

The present invention relates to a process of forming ceramic articles that contain a high percentage of recycled alumina silicate in their composition. The fabrication process includes a fusing of the base material forming a reticulated network that is in-filled with a melted additive composition. The base material gives the article dimensional stability and strength while the additive composition gives the article water resistance and toughness In this invention, an additive powder with an engineered melting temperature is added to the recycled base material. The mixture is heated until the recycled aluminosilicate reaches the optimal fusing temperature. Heating is continued until the additive begins to melt filling the voids between the fused aluminosilicates particles. The article is then rapidly cooled to quench the fusing without cracking. The resulting article has high strength due to the fused alumina silicate particles and low water absorbance and high density due to the melted additive component filling all the pores between the fused alumina silicate particles.

Cellular ceramic materials, for example closed cell glass ceramic materials, for use in construction of buildings comprising a clay material, carbon, and water used to form the cellular ceramic blocks, slabs and beams by expansion of the particles inside the ware. The cellular ceramic materials are produced by first mixing the clay, carbon and about 40% to about 70% water by weight of the clay in the mixture, allowing the mixture to cure, drying the cured mixture, then firing the dried mixture at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to melt the surface of the mixture. The clay material can be, for example, surface clays, ball clays, kaolin, shale, fly ash and/or bentonite. In another embodiment a mixture of volcanic ash, carbon and water can be formed and layered with the mixture of clay, carbon and water. The cellular ceramic materials are, in most cases, impervious to liquid, are capable of supporting substantial loads in tension and compression without reinforcement, and require no additional insulating material. Such cellular ceramic material may also be used in the construction of buildings with a metal skeleton comprising metal bars forming a structure for supporting the cellular ceramic building material.
