Use of Burnt Sludge as Chamotte and its Influence on the Phase Composition of Acid-Resistant Materials

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

This paper presents results of studies on acid-resistant materials produced from raw clay, chamotte from kaolin clay burnt at 1200°C, and high-alumina (Al2O3 > 70%) calcined alkali-etched sludge as a waste product of Samara Metallurgical Plant. The studies conducted have shown that it is not possible to obtain an acid-resistant material from raw kaolin clay containing less than 18% Al2O3 at a firing temperature of 1300°C, and the use of an optimal amount of chamotte (40%) in the compositions of ceramic masses enables to obtain an acid-resistant material that meets the standard requirements based on raw kaolinite clay at a temperature of 1300°C. The supplementation of the ceramic mass of high-alumina raw materials with 40% calcined alkali-etched sludge (and chamotte) ensures the manufacturing of products with high physical and mechanical properties even at 1250°C.
