Abstract
This work aims at studying the volume change of bauxite corroded by a molten slag. Cylindrical samples were prepared by mixing ground bauxite with slag. Optical measurement at high temperature (1450 °C) of deformation with a high-resolution camera has been developed. Image processing allowed for determining the change in diameter of the sample. We showed that the deformation was induced by the precipitation of new expansive crystallised phases observed by SEM-EDS analyses. Adding pellets of the same slag upon the samples allowed to emphasize the effect of the slag amount on the size change. The change in diameter significantly increased in the impregnated area.
