The effect of the addition of various fluoreides on the mullitization of Korean crude kaolin was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopic methods. Kaolin without any addition of fluoreides began to be transformed into the mullite at 1, 10$0^{\circ}C$. Mullite peaks were discernible in the X-ray diffraction patterns of the specimens which contained fluorides equivalent to about 2 wt % fluorine, and which were sintered at 1, 05$0^{\circ}C$. The higher the concentration of fluorine in kaolin, the lower was the initiatinig temperature of mullitization. Experiments , for example, showed that mullite could be formed at 95$0^{\circ}C$ from kaolin mixed with 3.4% fluorine. Of the fluoride, addtives, sodiumsiliconfluoride $(Na_2SiF_6)$ was must effective in mullite formation of kaolin. In order of accelerating mullitization, the fluorides except $Na_2SiF_6$ could be placed in following sequence ; (1) sodium (NaF) (2) aluminium$(AlF_3)$ (3)potassium(KF) (4) ammonium$(NH_4F)$ (5) magnesium$(MgF_2)$ (6) calcium$(CaF_2)$. It was considered that the intrinsic characteristics of fluorides, such as size of ionic radiu, charge , bond strength between cation and anion, and electronegativity of cation affected millitization of halloysite, a main constituent mineral of kaolin.

Sintering behavior and lightweight characteristics of porcelain by addition of FAHM (Fly-Ash Hollow Microsphere) were evaluated. Green body of Backja composition (general porcelain) in which FAHM was added(15 and 20 wt%) was made by slip casting method. The green body was sintered at 1270 and $1290^{\circ}C$ and maintained for 1h. The bulk density and linear shrinkage of the sintered body with FAHM (20 wt%) decreased. As the contents of FAHM. increased, mullite and cristobalite phases increased. In the microstructure, FAHM shells remained after sintering, and the generation of mullite fibers around FAHM shells also were confirmed. the weight of porcelain with of 20% FAHM decreased by 40% and residual FAHM shells promoted the mullite of generation in the matrix.

In the following study, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used for prediction of permeate flux decline during oily wastewater treatment by hybrid powdered activated carbon-microfiltration (PAC-MF) process using mullite and mullite-alumina ceramic membranes. Permeate flux is predicted as a function of time and PAC concentration. To optimize the networks performance, different transfer functions and different initial weights and biases have been tested. Totally, more than 850,000 different networks are tested for both membranes. The results showed that 10:6 and 9:20 neural networks work best for mullite and mullite-alumina ceramic membranes in PAC-MF process, respectively. These networks provide low mean squared error and high linearity between target and predicted data (high $R^2$ value). Finally, the results present that ANN provide best results ($R^2$ value equal to 0.99999) for prediction of permeation flux decline during oily wastewater treatment in PAC-MF process by ceramic membranes.

In order to fabricate porous mullite ceramics with controlled pore structure and improved mechanical strength, a freeze casting route has been processed using camphene mixed with tertiary-butyl alcohol (TBA) and coal fly ash/alumina as the solvent and the ceramic material, respectively. After sintering, the solidification characteristics of camphene and TBA solvent were evident in the pore morphology, i.e., dendritic and straight pore channels formed along the solidification directions of camphene and TBA ice, respectively, after sublimation. Also, the presence of microcracks was observed in the bodies sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$, mainly due to the difference in solidification volume change between camphene and TBA. The compressive strength of the sintered bodies was found generally to be dependent, in an inverse manner, on the porosity, which was mainly determined by the processing conditions. After sintering at $1300{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$ with 30~50 wt% solid loading, the resulting mullite ceramics showed porosity and compressive strength values in ranges of 83.8~43.1% and 3.7~206.8 MPa, respectively.

This paper depicts the development and characterizations of laminated composites made with cellulosic giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea) fiber mats and epoxy resin. Zirconia-toughened mullite (ZTM) is used as a filler material in the laminated composite which was prepared from sillimanite through plasma processing technique. The mechanical characterizations of this composite have been carried out as per ASTM standards to evaluate its usability as a structural material. The effects of varying weight percentages of the filler and two different fiber orientations namely, angle-ply [$+45^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}/+45^{\circ}$] and balanced cross-ply [$0^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/0^{\circ}$] on the physical and mechanical properties such as density, microhardness, impact strength, tensile strength and interlaminar shear strength of the layered composite specimens have been investigated. The study indicates that the inclusion of zirconia-toughened mullite in the composite laminate as filler improves its mechanical properties. Moreover, the use of giant cane fiber mat in the laminate is more eco-friendly than the synthetic fibers. This research also helps in generating additional data to enrich the repository of natural fiber reinforced laminated composites.

Porous mullite-corundum ceramics were prepared using organic foam impregnation method with alumina and silica as raw materials. The influence of alkaline treatment and surfactant modification on polyurethane foam were studied. Effects of sintering process and material composition on porous mullite-corundum ceramics were investigated. The results show that the hang-pulp quantity of polyurethane foam increases with alkaline treatment. After treatment with 3 wt% SDS solution, the hang-pulp quantity of polyurethane foam further improved. Open porosity of sample decreased with elevation of sintering temperature and holding time, and compressive strength of sample showed a trend opposite to the change of porosity. The open porosity of the sample was enhanced by the increase of m(Al₂O₃/SiO₂); the compressive strength decreased with increase of m(Al₂O₃/SiO₂). However, when m(Al₂O₃/SiO₂) was 2.5, the compressive strength of the sample reached 6.23 MPa, and the open porosity of the sample was 80.7 %.

+325~-200 mesh의 합성 뮬라이트에 평균입경 9.1$\mu\textrm{m}$의 장석을 첨가하여 무가압분물충전성형법으로 성형한후 1200~140$0^{\circ}C$에서의 치밀화 거동을 관찰하였다. 적절한 성형강도를 얻기 위해 충전된 분말내로 PVA 4% 결합제 용액을 침투시켰다. 가소성을 얻기 위한 점토없이 성형이 가능한 무가압분말충전성형법에 의해 제조된 성형체를 열처리하는 경우, 기존의 방법처럼 점토의 상전이로 인한 결함발생이 없었으며 장석의 용융에 의해 치밀한 미세구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 장석 첨가량이 30%인 시편의 경우 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 동안 소결했을 때 흡수율 0, 기공율 1% 미만의 치밀한 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 그 이상의 유지시간이나, 140$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소결온도에서는 뮬라이트의 거대 입성장이 일어났다.

분무연소합성법을 이용하여 나노크기의 물라이트(3Al$_2$O$_3$$.$2SiO$_2$) 콜로이드를 제조하였다. 연소반응을 위한 산화제로서 Al(NO$_3$)$_3$$.$9$H_2O$와 환원제(연료)로서 CH$_{6}$N$_4$O를 사용하였으며, 실리카 소스로서 콜로이드 실리카를 첨가하였다. 분무된 액적들의 착화를 위해 연소반응기의 온도를 80$0^{\circ}C$로 유지하였다. 액적의 응고에 의한 액적크기 성장을 억제하기 위하여 금속 스크린 필터를 사용함으로써 액적의 개수 농도를 감소시켰으며, 에어로졸 입자의 체류시간을 2.5초로 유지하여 열 유체의 흐름을 층류로 유도하였다. 제조된 입자들의 모양은 모두 구형이었으며, 평균입자크기는 130nm이었다 XRD와 TEM 분석 결과 각각의 초미립자들은 정량화합물의 물라이트 결정성을 나타내었다.

Mullite ($3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) has emerged as a promising candidate for high-temperature structural materials due to its erosion resistance, chemical and thermal stabilities, relatively low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent thermal shock and creep resistances, and low dielectric constant. However, since the pure mullite sintering temperature is as high as $1,600{\sim}1,700^{\circ}C$, there is an increasing need for a sintering additive capable of improving the strength characteristics while lowering the sintering temperature. Herein we have tried to obtain the optimal sintering additive composition by adding MgO, $Cr_2O_3$, and $Y_2O_3$ to mullite, followed by sintering at $1,325{\sim}1,550^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. With additives of 2 wt% of MgO, 2 wt% of $Cr_2O_3$, 4 wt% of $Y_2O_3$, A density of $3.23g/cm^3$ was obtained for the sintered body at $1,350^{\circ}C$ upon using 2 wt% MgO, 2 wt% $Cr_2O_3$, and 4 wt% $Y_2O_3$ as additives. The three-point flexural strength of that was 275 MPa and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was $4.15ppm/^{\circ}C$.

알루미노실리케이트 계 졸이 지르콘 쉘 몰드의 뮬라이트 층 생성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 알루미노실리케이트 졸은 콜로이달 실리카와 수용성 질산알루미늄을 혼합하여 제조하였으며 50$^{\circ}C$에서 48시간 조건에서 겔화 하였다. 이러한 겔은 깁사이트 및 알루미노실리케이트 복합 겔로 구성되어 있었으며, Si 이온과 결합하는 모든 Al 이온의 배위수가 4임을 확인하였다. 뮬라이트 상은 1300$^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 소결하였을 때 관찰되었으며 뮬라이트의 XRD 피크는 소결 온도와 질산알루미늄의 농도가 증가할수록 노실리케이트 졸 슬러리를 2차 층에 코팅하였다. 그 결과 1차 및 3차 층의 분리가 일어났으며, 이는 소결시 졸의 1차 및 3차 층으로 침윤 발생과 잔류 실리카와 뮬라이트 간의 열팽창계수 차이에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.
