Black Spinel Pigment Formed from Industrial Sludge

G. Costa, V.P. Della, M.J. Ribeiro and J.A. Labrincha
The optimum ratio between divalent and trivalent ions that assures maximum chromatic quality and lower toxicity level is obtained with mixtures in which the amount of chromium-iron-rich sludge is 50 wt% to 60 wt%.

In-Situ Cordierite-Silicon Carbide Composite

N.M. Khalil and S.H. Kenawy
Cordierite mixed with 10 wt% SiC and fired to 1450°C exhibited improved bulk density, cold crushing strength, volume stability, thermal shock resistance and refractoriness compared with other mixes.
