    Utilization of Recycled Paper Processing Residues and Clay of Different Sources for the Production of Porous Anorthite Ceramics
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, Sedat; Akkurt, Sedat; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Production of porous anorthite ceramics from mixtures of paper processing residues and three different clays are investigated. Suitability of three different clays such as enriched clay, commercial clay and fireclay for manufacturing of anorthite based lightweight refractory bricks was studied. Porous character to the ceramic was provided by addition of paper processing residues (PPR). Samples with 30-40wt% PPR fired at 1200-1400°C contained anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2) as major phase and some minor secondary phases such as mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) or gehlenite (2CaO·Al2O3·SiO2), depending on the calcite to clay ratio. Anorthite formation for all clay types was quite successful in samples with 30-40wt% of paper residues fired at 1300°C. A higher firing temperature of 1400°C was needed for the fireclay added samples to produce a well sintered product with large pores. Gehlenite phase occurred mostly at lower temperatures and in samples containing higher amount of calcium (50wt% PPR). Compressive strength of compacted and fired pellets consisting of mainly anorthite ranged from 8 to 43MPa. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

    A Microstructural Study of Surface Hydration on a Magnesia Refractory
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, Sedat; Okur, Salih; Akkurt, Sedat; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Hydration of the surface of a periclase refractory was studied in a controlled humidity atmosphere (92% relative humidity) at 26 °C for up to 92 h. The effect of humidity on the specimens was examined using a scanning probe microscope (SPM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM), which showed that the degree of hydration was noticeably less in the intergranular bond phase compared to the periclase crystallites. The SPM study indicated significant growth of hydrates on the refractory grain surface. Growth rate of the hydrate layer was least on (0 0 1) orientation, higher for the (1 0 3) orientation, and highest for the (1 0 1) oriented grain. The rate of loss of refractory phases by hydration on a (1 0 1) oriented grain was 4.53 nm/h. This material loss may be insignificant for a bulk brick, but is a serious threat for a magnesia castable consisting of fine magnesia powder due to large surface area exposed to humidity or water itself. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

    Influence of Crystallographic Orientation on Hydration of Mgo Single Crystals
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Sütçü, Mücahit; Akkurt, Sedat; Akkurt, Sedat; Okur, Salih; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This study has been performed in order to find out the influence of crystallographic orientation on hydration of MgO single crystal substrates with (1 0 0)-, (1 1 0)-, and (1 1 1)-orientations. The samples were left in a hydration chamber with an 88% relative humidity for 18 h at room temperature. The effect of humidity on the samples was examined by scanning probe microscope (SPM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) which showed that the degree of hydration was noticeably influenced by the crystallographic orientation. It was found that the MgO with (1 1 1)-orientation has the highest tendency to hydrate than the other orientations. Second most affected sample was (1 1 0) crystal. Loss of MgO on the surface by hydration is most severe when the crystal is oriented in (1 1 1) plane with the maximum hydrate layer thickness of 174 nm after 18 h of exposure.
