Mullite Formations: Analysis and Applications

Mullite is a crucial crystalline phase in fired products, with excellent high-temperature strength, creep resistance, chemical and thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good dielectric properties. This book covers the synthesis and phase transformation of mullite, discussing previous research, the nature and characterization of spinel and mullite phases, and the critical analysis of the spinel and mullite phases.

Mullite, a crucial crystalline phase within the Al2O3-SiO2 mullite system, holds significant importance in fired products used in everyday life, including low- and high-temperature hard porcelain, sanitaryware, and structural clay products. Its exceptional high-temperature strength, creep resistance, excellent chemical and thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, and good dielectric properties have garnered increasing attention. Mulliteization, a complex process, has been the subject of extensive and contentious investigations. This comprehensive book delves into the synthesis and six types of phase transformations of mullite. Part I provides a review of previous research on the synthesis of mullite gels, exploring the advantages and disadvantages of various chemical routes and the phase transformation processes involved. Part II delves into the nature and characterization of spinel and mullite phases, examining different mechanisms proposed by researchers for mullite formation. Part III critically analyzes the spinel and mullite phases and the evolution of mullite formation routes, offering insights into the complex processes at play. Each chapter is accompanied by detailed diagrams and a comprehensive list of references, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers in the field.
