Effect of Heat Treatment Temperature on Properties of Chinese Calcined Flint Clay Based Plastic Refractories

Effects of different heat treatment temperatures on properties of Chinese calcined flint clay based plastic refractories were investigated using Chinese calcined flint clay as starting material, aluminum sulfate and fireclay as binding system. The results showed that with temperature rising, Chinese calcined flint clay based plastic refractories shrinked firstly and then expanded. The modulus of rupture （MOR） and the cold crushing strength （CCS） inereased firstly and then decreased from 110 ℃ to 600 ℃ , then increased obviously. Thermal expansion coefficient increased from 110 ℃ to 760 ℃, decreased from 760 ℃ to 1 300 ℃ , and increased from 1 300 ℃ to1500 ℃.

Effect of heat treatment temperature of the glaze lager on the structure and the formaldehyde removal performance of an interior wall tile

With the improvement of people’s living standards,a large number of petroleum products,daily necessities and decorations that can produce volatile organic compounds are used in decoration,which seriously affects the indoor air quality.Interior decoration materials have become a research hotspot in recent years.The purpose of this paper is to develop a kind of interior wall material with good indoor formaldehyde removal effect,easily using,and low cost.In this paper,combining different heat treatment temperatures of the glaze layer,tourmaline/diatomite-based interior wall tiles were prepared by ultrafine grinding,solid sintering,and low temperature calcination.The glaze layer under different heat treatment temperatures was characterized by thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis,X-ray diffraction,and scanning electron microscope.The influences of heat treatment temperature on the microscopic morphology and structure of the glaze layer were analyzed.Taking formaldehyde as the target degradation product,the effects of tourmaline/diatomite-based interior wall tiles on the removal of formaldehyde under different heat treatment temperatures of the glaze layer were investigated.The results showed that with the increase in heat treatment temperature,the original pores of diatomite decreased,the specific surface area decreased,and the structure of tourmaline changed.At 850℃,the surface structure of the material was slightly damaged,the strength was increased,and the removal effect of formaldehyde was better.In a 1 m^(3) environmental chamber,the formaldehyde removal rate reached 73.6%in 300 min.When the temperature was increased to 950℃ and above,diatomite and the structure of tourmaline were destroyed,and the ability of the material to adsorb and degrade formaldehyde decreased.

Influence of Heat Treatment Temperature on Microstructure and Bonding of TiO2 Film Coated on Diamond Particles Surface

TiO_2 films were coated on the surface of diamond particles using a sol-gel method. The effects of heat treatment temperature on the morphology, phase composition and chemical bond of diamond particles coated with TiO2 films were investigated through SEM, TEM, X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, and XPS. The results showed that when being heat-treated at 600 ℃, the amorphous TiO_2 film transfered to the anatase film which bonded well with diamond substrate. Meanwhile, the Ti-O-C bond formed between TiO2 film and diamond substrate. When being heat-treated at 800 ℃, TiO2 film was still anatase, and partial diamond began to graphitize. The graphitizated carbon could also form the Ti-O-C bond with TiO_2 film, although TiO_2 film would tend to crack in this case.

INFLUENCE OF HEAT TREATMENT ON OXIDATION PROPERTIES OF C/C COMPOSITES FABRICATED BY HIGH PRESSURE IMPREGNATION CARBONIZATION

Felt base carbon/carbon composites fabricated by super-high pressure impregnation carbonization process (SPIC) were heat treated at high temperature 2773K. The oxidation properties of felt base carbon/carbon composites were investigated at different temperatures (773-1173K), and the microstructures of carbon/carbon composites were studied by SEM and X-ray diffraction. The experimental results showed that the inter-laminar distance of (002) plane (d002) deceased while the microcrystalline stack height (Lc) increased. The oxidation rate of felt base carbon/carbon composites was invari-able at certain temperatures. The oxidation mechanism of carbon/carbon composites changed remarkably at the oxidation temperature 973K. At the initial oxidation stage of carbon/carbon composites, carbon matrix was oxidized much more rapidly than carbon felt.

Low-temperature Rapid Synthesis of Ultrafine Hafnium Carbide Ceramic Powders

Nano hafnium carbide（HfC） powders were synthesized by sol-gel combining hightemperature rapid heat treatment process using citric acid and hafnium tetrachloride as the raw materials. The effects of ball milling treatment on the phase and morphology of pyrolysis products（HfO_2-C） and final HfC product were investigated and the influences of heat treatment temperature and holding time on the structure and properties of the synthesized hafnium carbide powders were also studied. The experimental results showed that the HfO_2-C powders with good uniformity and small particle size were prepared by controlling the milling time. Pure HfC powders with an average particle size of 500 nm were obtained at 1 700 ℃ with a holding time of 3 min, and the oxygen content was about 0.69 wt%, lower than that of the hafnium carbide powders prepared by SPS（0.97%）.

Synthesis of Iron-containing Carbon Microparticles from Deoiled Asphalt and Ferrocene

The deoiled asphalt as the carbon source and the ferrocene as the metal source and the catalyst precursor were chosen to synthesize iron-containing carbon microparticles through co-carbonization at the temperature of about 450℃ for 3 h. The resulting products were treated at 2 000 ℃ for 2 h. All samples were examined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results show that the iron particles in the heat-treated material are completely coated by carbon. In addition to the fully filled carbon microparticles as well as hollow carbon ones, also form carbon fibers with hollow centers. The formation mechanism of the as-prepared products was discussed briefly.
