摘要:
New type porous cordierite ceramics having a new characteristic interconnecting open cellular structure and a hollow microspherical cordierite glass powder with a shell devoid of any pores or provided with a few or an abundance of open pores which is used as a starting material for the porous cordierite ceramics. The porous cordierite ceramics are produced by subjecting a starting solution containing an alkyl silicate, an aluminum salt and an magnesium salt optionally with other compounds in an organic or aqueous organic solvent to spray thermal decomposition to prepare the hollow microspherical cordierite glass powder, and then processing the cordierite glass powder to a shaped body after or before an optional heat treatment and firing the shaped body at a temperature below the melting point of cordierite. The porous cordierite ceramics are useful as a carrier for gas chromatography or various chemical reactions.

An expanded glass aggregate has a granulometry of 0.2 to 3 mm and 10.sup.6 to 10.sup.7 cavities filled with gas per cm.sup.3. The diameter of the larger cavities is substantially smaller than 0.1 mm. All or a majority of the cavities are closed cells having a similar size. The expanded glass aggregate may contain in addition up to 85% of concrete, lava and/or tuff. For the preparation, the raw material is ground into a flour, mixed with a blowing organic and/or inorganic material appropriate to hot release gas, and a semi-finished aggregate is formed with a diameter of the granules of 0.1 to 1.5 mm. This aggregate is heated in a vibrating or suspended furnace during 5 to 180 seconds at a temperature of 600.degree. to 900.degree. C. The expanded glass aggregate is removed away from the furnace before a significant number of small cavities formed during the blowing gather to form larger cavities.
摘要:
Molten metallurgical slags are expanded by contact with water in a liquid or vapor state by passing the molten slag along a prefoaming or expanding trough by delivering the slag to this trough via an intermediate trough which is shiftable along the prefoaming trough in order to vary the location at which the slag contacts the prefoaming trough and the expanding-agent film thereon in accordance with physical characteristics of the molten slag, especially its temperature and viscosity. From the pre-expanding or prefoaming trough, the partially expanded slag may be subjected to expansion by conventional means, e.g. a rotating drum which disperses the slag particles through the air so that they can be collected in a completely expanded, dry and solidified state.

A method is provided for pelletizing molten materials which consists in feeding the material to be pelletized through a vertical refractory vessel through a controlled atmosphere and discharging the same horizontally from a rotating circular edge as molten pellets into a fluid coolant wherein the molten pellets are cooled and solidified into solid pellets.

This invention relates to a process for forming small particles of microporous glass having interconnected pores suitable to filter tobacco smoke. It particularly relates to a method of melting a phase-separable, metal borosilicate glass composition, quenching the melted glass by contacting the molten glass with a quenching fluid to reduce rapidly the temperature below the strain point of the glass, thereby fracturing the glass into small fragments, phase separating the fragmented glass by treatment at elevated temperatures below the miscibility temperature of the glass for a sufficient period to form a silica-rich phase and a substantially continuous borate-rich phase, then cooling the phase-separated glass, and thereafter leaching the glass to remove a sufficient quantity of the boraterich phase to form microporous particles having interconnected pores.
摘要:
The present disclosure concerns expandable silica particles having a coating comprising talc powder and kaolin powder provided on the outer surface of the expandable silica particle and expandable and expanded silica particles comprising silica fume and/or ultrafine quartz silica sand beneath the surface of the particles. Methods for producing expandable and expanded silica particles are disclosed, including a method using a vibration plate and a furnace having a vibration plate for carrying out that method. The expanded silica particles have high compressive strength, substantially uniform cell size and distribution, low water absorption, and low porosity on the outer surface. They are useful as a filler in matrix materials, like concrete or epoxy, as insulation material with various binder materials, and as water filtration medium.
摘要:
A glass, glass-ceramic, or ceramic bead is described, with an internal porous scaffold microstructure that is surrounded by an amorphous shield. The shield serves to protect the internal porous microstructure of the shield while increasing the overall strength of the porous microstructure and improve the flowability of the beads either by themselves or in devices such as biologically degradable putty that would be used in bone or soft tissue augmentation or regeneration. The open porosity present inside the bead will allow for enhanced degradability in-vivo as compared to solid particles or spheres and also promote the growth of tissues including but not limited to all types of bone, soft tissue, blood vessels, and nerves.
