Abstract

Abstract A method for manufacturing porous ceramic products by mixing ceramic material with a fly dust containing silica and metal oxides and having a large specific surface area of at least 20 m 2 /g. The mixture is heated to at least 800° C to convert it into a porous ceramic material. The process is carried out so as to result in either products having mainly closed pores by heating at sintering temperatures or products having mainly open pores by heating at consolidation temperatures. The admixture may be wrapped in a sheet of material which upon heating the admixture to form pores in the material encloses the gases formed at low temperatures but which ruptures at high temperatures to expose the clay to an oxidizing atmosphere.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
A method of manufacturing porous ceramic products consisting essentially of mixing ceramic clay with 1 to 35%, based on the weight of said clay, of an amorphous fly dust having a specific surface area of at least 20 m 2 /g and consisting essentially of 75-92% silica, metal oxides selected from the group consisting of MgO, Cr 2 O 3 , FeO, Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, Ni 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , CuO, PbO, MnO 2 and SnO 2 , and a minor amount of carbon, and heating the resulting composition to at least 800° C to convert said composition into a porous ceramic material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 114 words
A method of manufacturing porous ceramic products consisting essentially of mixing ceramic clay with 1 to 35%, based on the weight of said clay, of an amorphous fly dust having a specific surface area of at least 20 m 2 /g and consisting essentially of 75-92% silica, metal oxides selected from the group consisting of MgO, Cr 2 O 3 , FeO, Fe 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, Ni 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , CuO, PbO, MnO 2 and SnO 2 , and a minor amount of carbon, and heating the resulting composition to at least 800° C to convert said composition into a porous ceramic material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 38 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said composition is heated at a temperature within the range of 1100° to 1200° C and above the sintering temperature of said composition so that principally only closed pores are formed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 53 words
The method according to claim 1, including admixing to said clay substances which form gases at temperatures of about 100° to 500° C and heating said composition at a temperature within the range of 800° to 1100° C and below the sintering temperature of said composition at which open pores are formed therein.
