Mullite-Based Ceramics from Mining Waste: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Bruce Ren and Version 1 by Maximina Romero.

Mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) is an aluminosilicate characterized by excellent physical properties, which makes it an important ceramic material. In this way, ceramics based on mullite find applications in different technological fields as refractory material (metallurgy, glass, ceramics, etc.), matrix in composite materials for high temperature applications, substrate in multilayer packaging, protective coatings, components of turbine engines, windows transparent to infrared radiation, etc. However, mullite is scarce in nature so it has to be manufactured through different synthesis methods, such as sintering, melting-crystallization or through a sol-gel route. 

  • mullite
  • clay-based ceramics
  • mining waste
  • sterile
  • tailings
  • iron and aluminum waste
  • boron
  • molybdenum and lithium waste
  • coal gangue
  • kaolin waste
  • ornamental rock waste
