Porous Ceramic Based on Calcium Pyrophosphate

Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

An Erratum to this article was published on 01 July 2015

Porous ceramic, whose composition is mainly represented by calcium β-pyrophosphate β-Ca2P2O7, is prepared from a porous mixture containing synthetic calcium γ-pyrophosphate γ-Ca2P2O7 and milled 1-aqueous sodium dihydrophosphate in an amount from 2.5 to 40 wt.%. Ceramic sintering proceeds by a liquid-phase sintering mechanism due to melt formation in the system Na2O–CaO–P2O5. Ceramic microstructure after firing in the range 800 – 1000°C makes it possible to consider sodium polyphosphate not only as a component facilitating sintering by a liquid-phase mechanism, but also as an inorganic pore-forming agent.
