EFFECTS OF HEAT ON ALUMINIUM SILICATE

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Three naturally occurring important ceramic minerals of silicates of alumina have been intensively studied due to their prime importance in ceramic fields. They all have the formula Al2O3.SiO2 but differ in crystalline character and physical properties. The following are the three minerals:
1. Sillimanite
2. Andalusite
3. Kyanite
The important properties in ceramics for the three minerals studied were
1. The conditions under which […]
