The Rebirth of Tungsten Tailings -- Glass Ceramics (2)
As we all know, the main raw material of glass is silica, namely quartz, the main raw material of ceramics is kaolin. Coincidentally, the main component of tungsten tailings is also silicon, and may be rich in other kaolin constituents. In the eyes of scientists and technicians, most of the composition of tungsten tailings and glass ceramic raw materials are similar, do not need too complicated to deal with, can be processed into glass ceramic. Some scholars have prepared glass ceramics by using tungsten tailings after magnetic separation to remove iron, by changing the temperature system in sintering process, the glass ceramics with better properties were obtained, and the crystallization kinetics of glass-ceramic during sintering was further explored. The crystallization temperature is adjusted between 950~1100 °C, the results show that the main crystalline phases of glass ceramics are calcium feldspar and iron pyroxene. The crystalline phase number and grain size o...
