The raw clay ?Klokoti? from middle Bosnia was beneficiated by method of wet separation which results in removing fraction over 20 ?m. The raw clay was characterized by chemical composition, grain size distribution and characteristic temperatures on heating microscope. The beneficiated clay was characterized by chemical composition and characteristic temperatures. The phase composition of raw and beneficiated clay was observed by RDA while the microstructure was monitored on scanning electron microscope (SEM). The sintering process was performed at 1100?C, 1250?C, 1320?C and 1400?C with two hours holding time at the highest temperature. The obtained results indicate a big content of coarse quartz in raw clay and gradually increase of crystalline mullite content with increasing temperature of sintering. Beneficiated clay at higher temperature of sintering produces larger glassy phase content, which is result of larger fluxing content in its composition. It is also observed that from beneficiated clay by sintering at 1250?C crystallize the most mullite along with minimum porosity and the lowest glassy phase content.

1.0at% Nd:YAG polycrystalline ceramics were sintered at 1420°C, 1500°C, 1600°C and 1730°C respectively by different heating rate (1°C/min and 5°C/min). The crystal structures were indexed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The microstructure and the grain size of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The optical transmittance spectra of the samples were measured using V-570 UV spectrophotometer.

In this work, we report the effect of sintering temperature (900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C and 1200°C) on the electrical and magnetotransport properties of polycrystalline La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO). Single phase of LSMO hexagonal structure (R-3c) accompanied with minor phases was successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. With increasing sintering temperature, grain growth was promoted and grain connectivity was improved. It was found that an enhancement of resistivity on smaller grain size was due to larger grain surface over volume (grain boundaries effect). The shifting of the metal-insulator transition (TMI) to higher temperature was also responsible for observed changes in physical properties. TMI of 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C were 232 K, 278 K and 298 K respectively however 1200°C was out of measurement range (higher than 300 K). In summary, CP900 with smaller grain size distribution (~200 nm) displayed the highest resistivity and MR% of -19.2% (at 80 K, 10 kG).

BaBi4-xLaxTi4O15 (BBLT) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid phase sintering ceramics processing technology. The crystal structure and the microstructure were detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD analyses show that La3+ ions doping did not change the crystal structure of BBT ceramics. The sintering temperature increased from 1120°C to 1150°C with increasing Lanthanum content from 0 to 0.5, but it widened the sintering temperature range from 20°C to 50°C and refined the grain size of the BBT ceramic. Additionally, polarization treatment was performed and finally piezoelectric property was measured. As a result, the piezoelectric constant d33 of the 0.1at.% doped BBLT ceramics reached its highest value about 22pc/N at polarizing electric field of 8kV/mm and polarizing temperature of 120°C for 30min.

The influence of the light burning temperature on the sintering property of nature dolomite has been investigated by two-step sintering process in the temperature range 1500 °C to 1600 °C. The resulting bulk densities and apparent porosities of the sintered dolomite samples were examined, and analyzing the sintered dolomite by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were performed. The results showed light burned at 850 °C for 3 h, the main phases of the dolomite with 3-5 grain size were MgO, CaO and little CaCO3, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite reached to 3.38 g/cm3, the apparent property was 1.2 %, the size of MgO grain up to 3.75 μm . However when dolomite light burned at 1050 °C for 3 h, the main phases were MgO and CaO, and then fired at 1600 °C,the density of sintering dolomite only was 3.30 g/cm3, the apparent property was 2.3 %, the size of MgO only was 3.05 μm .

Sintered Alloys

An important process parameter in FeSi sintered alloys is the sintering temperature. If the sintering temperature can be reduced, the sintering process could be performed in less expensive furnaces. A densification model is here applied to experimental data. The model considers both grain size and density. After the model is applied to experimental data, the acquired model parameters allow the simulation of densification for other situations of temperature and heating rates. The model can be helpful to find suitable sintering temperatures in these alloys.

The Relationship

The main effect on iron ore mineralization performance in the sintering process is the grain size of raw material and chemical composition. The results show that -0.5mm particles can mineralize, but +0.5mm particles remain a nucleus in sinter. This paper analyses the effect of the chemical composition on mineralization characteristics of liquid production. The relationship model is established by using regression analysis between the chemical composition and liquid formation characteristics. The mian factors of mineralization in the chemical composition: SiO2, CaO, MgO and Al2O3.

This study was carried out on leaching of tailings at 30 ᵒC and 40 ᵒC. The mineralogical and chemical composition of the tailings material were determined by Quantitative X-Ray Diffractometry (QXRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDAX). The study revealed that the tailings contain sulphides (arsenopyrite and pyrite) which can leach to produce arsenic (As) and other ions in solution. The acid released during leaching depends on the temperature of leaching. More acid was produced at higher temperature (40 ᵒC) than lower temperature (30 ᵒC). It was established that arsenic precipitation from solution was higher at higher temperature (40 ᵒC) than lower temperature (30 ᵒC). Mimicking the study in a typical tailings environment, it could be proposed that As mobilisation will be enhanced at lower temperature (30 ᵒC) than at higher temperature (40 ᵒC). Keywords: Tailings, Leaching, Arsenopyrite, Heavy metals and Temperature

The liquid phase fluidity of iron ore is a vital index of fundamental sintering characteristics. In this paper, FactSage software and a visible microsintering test device were used to research the influence of the thermodynamic melt characteristics on the liquid phase fluidity under fixed CaO content conditions. The results show that the laws governing liquid phase fluidity of iron ore are significantly different with a fixed alkalinity and fixed CaO content of the sample. The liquid phase content at the sintering temperature is the most important thermodynamic melt formation characteristic affecting the liquid phase fluidity. In addition to the liquid phase content, other minerals also have a greater impact on liquid phase fluidity. Decreasing the viscosity of the liquid phase improves the liquid phase fluidity of the iron ore, and the effect of the SiO2 content of the iron ore on the mixed phase viscosity is greater than that of the Al2O3 content.

Ti(C,N)-based cermets were fabricated by the vacuum hot-processing technique. The effect of sintering process, initial powder size and binder content on mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were investigated. The composite was analyzed by the observation of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The results showed that a lower sintering temperature led to insufficient liquid-phase sintering process, which reduced the density of the composite. However, higher temperature and longer holding time resulted in abnormal grain growth, which was not good for improving the mechanical properties of the composite. With the refinement of the initial powder size of the Ti(C,N), the fracture toughness reduced slightly, the flexural strength and Vickers hardness increased. The better mechanical properties were obtained when the binder content of the cermets was designed based on the eutectic composition of Mo-Ni binary alloy phase diagram.
