Preparation and characterization of possible basic ceramics from Moroccan magnesite

Preparation and characterization of possible basic ceramics from Moroccan magnesite Processing of magnesia based ceramic by unidirectional dry pressing from Moroccan magnesite is described. The applied magnesite was characterized in terms of its composition, granulometric analysis, surface specific area, and thermal behavior. After appropriate processing, the prepared specimens were fired at various temperatures up to 1350 °C to study the ceramic properties. The ceramic material resulted after firing was investigated regarding the phases composition, structural characteristics, and physical properties of technological interest. On this way, the production of materials having interesting properties such as shrinkage, porosity, density, flexural strength, toughness, dielectric constant, and thermal conductivity is achieved. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the ceramic sample is composed of periclase as major phase and monticellite and calcium alumino-ferrite as minor phases. The content of amorphous phase that governs the sample properties varies between 26.5 and 31%. Thermal shock tests realized in water showed that the ceramic sample presents good thermal shock resistance.

Abstract

Processing of magnesia based ceramic by unidirectional dry pressing from Moroccan magnesite is described. The applied magnesite was characterized in terms of its composition, granulometric analysis, surface specific area, and thermal behavior. After appropriate processing, the prepared specimens were fired at various temperatures up to 1350 °C to study the ceramic properties. The ceramic material resulted after firing was investigated regarding the phases composition, structural characteristics, and physical properties of technological interest. On this way, the production of materials having interesting properties such as shrinkage, porosity, density, flexural strength, toughness, dielectric constant, and thermal conductivity is achieved. An X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the ceramic sample is composed of periclase as major phase and monticellite and calcium alumino-ferrite as minor phases. The content of amorphous phase that governs the sample properties varies between 26.5 and 31%. Thermal shock tests realized in water showed that the ceramic sample presents good thermal shock resistance. The results revealed that Moroccan magnesite has qualities necessary for the manufacture of ceramic products.
