    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for preparing a titanate compound powder comprising titanate compound particles having a controlled particle size and/or particle size distribution. The methods include mixing at least one first inorganic compound chosen from sources of a first metal or metal oxide, at least one second inorganic compound chosen from sources of titania, and at least one binder to form a mixture; calcining the mixture to form a polycrystalline material comprising a plurality of titanate compound grains and a plurality of microcracks; and breaking the polycrystalline material along at least a portion of the microcracks. Also disclosed are titanate compound powders having a controlled particle size distribution, ceramic batch compositions comprising the powders, and ceramic articles prepared from the batch compositions.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for handling green ceramic monoliths that includes a lifting apparatus including a body and at least two support prongs that extend from the body, the at least two support prongs configured to support a green ceramic monolith thereon. The system also includes a support tray that receives the green ceramic monolith from the lifting apparatus and includes a base, a plurality of ridges, and a plurality of grooves, wherein each of the plurality of grooves is spaced apart from an adjacent groove by one of the plurality of ridges. The system further includes an actuator coupled to the lifting apparatus, wherein the actuator is operable to manipulate the lifting apparatus to engage the support tray and thereby transfer support of the green ceramic monolith from the at least two support prongs of the lifting apparatus to the plurality of ridges.
