Powder granulometry, mixing and dispersion of additive PSH were controlled during milling. Three batches of varying particle size distribution with same proportion of additive were used for body making. Firing was conducted in 1500°-1650°C temperature range. True specific gravity (TSG) of alumina, DBM, spinel and individual fired pellets were used to estimate wt% spinel formation based on the derived mass balance equation and subsequently verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Fired properties, i.e. bulk density, apparent porosity, closed porosity, %linear shrinkage and densification rate were measured. XRD was conducted for phase analysis. SEM and HR-TEM were performed to study the grain/ pore morphology and elemental analysis was done to calculate the spinel stoichiometry. PSH was found to have positive effect both in spinellization and densification; the effect gradually decreased with finer particle size distribution and increasing firing temperatures. The maximum fired density achieved for three batches were 89.21, 92.84 and 96.2% ρth, respectively. Based on the requirements of specific powder granulometry, addition of PSH and firing schedule can be used for bulk production of spinel aggregates.

Dense SiC ceramics with different contents of AlN additive were fabricated through hot-press sintering at 1950°C in Ar/N2 atmosphere under a pressure of 40 MPa for 3 h. The results showed that the thermal conductivity of samples without AlN addition was 53.5 W.m−1.K−1 when sintered in Ar and 50.3 W.m−1.K−1 when sintered in N2. The SiC ceramics with 4 wt% AlN sintered in Ar showed abnormally large grains and exhibited the highest thermal conductivity of 121.7 W.m−1.K−1 among all the samples. The sample with 2 wt% AlN sintered in N2 exhibited a thermal conductivity of 108.6 W.m−1.K−1; the thermal conductivity deceased with the increasing AlN content afterwards. Such a decreasing trend of thermal conductivity was attributed to the ascending 2Hss content and smaller grains of ceramics. There existed an optimal content of AlN and a proper sintering atmosphere for perfecting the microstructure and the thermal conductivity of SiC ceramics.

Permeability parameters in both air and water flow tests were obtained using laboratory made set-up and the pure water permeability was measured at variable transmembrane pressures. The membrane exhibited excellent pure water flux of 5261 L.m−2.h−1.bar−1 with open porosity of 44.7% and mean pore size of 3.7 μm. With this membrane a high oil removal efficiency of 91% was achieved from the kitchen wastewater having initial oil concentration of 1657 mg.L−1. The method developed here is technologically benign and addressed prevention of environmental pollution by utilizing hazardous waste material for fabrication of porous SiC ceramic membrane at a reduced cost with good mechanical, permeability characteristics and wastewater filtration efficiency.

The influence of Sm 2O3 and CaF2 concentration on the structure, composition and luminescence property of samples were investigated and revealed. It was shown that the samples had glassy non-crystalline nature and high transparency within the visible light region. The characteristic transitions of Sm3+ ion assigned to 4G5/2 → 6H J /2 (J = 5, 7, 9, 11) were detected, which realized the red-orange emission in the host. Concentration quenching occurred when Sm2O3 and CaF 2 contents were 1.0 and 8 mol%, respectively. Dipole-dipole interactions were the effective mechanisms of energy transfer and quenching between Sm 3+ ions. M eanwhile, with fixed Sm 2O3 concentration, both the PL intensity and the fluorescence lifetime increased as the CaF2 content enhanced. In a word, the orange/red ( O/R) ratio, Commission Internationale de ĺEclairage (CIE) chromatic coordinates and luminescence colour of the samples are dependent and adjustable by the concentration of Sm2O3 and CaF2, which helps to fabricate tunable efficiency light-emitting materials and extend their applications by regulating the composition of glass.

In this respect, the production of high lead (>70% PbO) containing RSW glass is generally made using platinum pot through bottom pouring flow casting technique. However, owing to low capacity (40 L max.) of high cost platinum pot, the production of glass slab is limited to a maximum dimension of 400×400×100 mm3. Therefore, an alternate cost effective technology is highly required for making higher dimension glass slabs. To fulfill the requirement, low cost and higher volume refractory pot based tilt casting technology can be adopted. In this regard, the refractory pot is to be developed with adequate thermal, chemical and mechanical stabilities towards sustaining high corrosive lead oxide containing molten glass at 1100°-1200°C. For this purpose, a clay based alumino-silicate pot material enriched with mullite has been developed and characterized systematically. The rectangular bars have been fabricated by slip casting technique and the fabricated bars have been fired between 1450° and 1550° C. The fired materials have been characterized in terms of bulk density, apparent porosity, cold and hot modulus of rupture, etc. The RSW glass with more than 70% lead oxide content has successfully been melted in the pot. The quality of RSW glass produced using the pot has also been studied. In an optimized composition of the pot, the formation of higher content of mullite phase having high thermal shock and corrosion resistance with the desired mechanical stability is the key factor behind the stability of the refractory pot for making defect free RSW glass slabs. This cost effective refractory pot technology can substitute the platinum pot technology for producing larger dimension RSW glass slabs.

Crystal structure, microstructure, absorption spectra and colorimetric coordinates of ceramic pigments were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV- vis spectrophotometer and fully automatic colorimeter, respectively. Glaze experiments proved that the as-prepared pigments had good stability and excellent colour development performance. In addition, it was found that the best black colour rendering effect (L*=9.95) occured when the content of calcined leather was 45 wt%, however, the colour rendering performance of blue-green pigments was related to the amount of Al2O3 added.
