Sintering mechanism of ceramics prepared from BOF slag
In order to study the sintering mechanism and kinetics of buildings ceramics prepared from basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag
the BOF slag with different grain sizes as the main materials were mixed with some additives to improve the properties of sintering
and ceramic tiles with good performance were made. Sintering mechanism was studied with respect to ceramic tiles samples deformation and changes of density before and after sintering
and sintering activation energy of the BOF slag ceramic tiles was calculated. Crystallization kinetics of the BOF slag ceramic tiles was studied with differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The smaller the grain size of raw material
the easier the sintering and the lower the sintering temperature. The broad crystallization peak in the differential thermal analysis indicated surface crystallization
whereas the sharp peak indicated bulk crystallization. The current work is useful for harmless processing and recycling of the BOF slag on a large scale.
