Abstract
The temperature-rasing sintering method was used in this study to fabricate the aggregates of uniform pore size and distribution containing reject ash occurred in the thermal power plant. The spheric green aggregates made of reject ash were put into the box furnace of 800~$1000^{\circ}C$, heated with a heating rate of 5~$15^{\circ}C$/min to 1200~$1275^{\circ}C$, sintered for 10 min and then discharged out of the furnace to the room temperature. The input temperature, heating rate and sintering temperature increased the bloating phenomenon of the specimen, and the sintering temperature among them was the most effective factor. The aggregate manufactured at $1275^{\circ}C$ had the specific gravity of about 1.0 and water absorption of 1~2%, and the pores of 500~1,000 ${\mu}m$ were uniformly distributed across the whole specimen. Especially, the aggregates fabricated using the temperature-rasing sintering method in this study showed an excellent bloating properties and uniform microstructure without black core phenomenon which is typical for the bloated ceramics synthesized by direct sintering method.
