Abstract | ||||
THE SYNTHESIS of cordierite from Egyptian Kaolin, Talc and a.. …Al (OH)3 by solid state reaction at different temperature 1250 - 1350 oC has been studied. The samples of the synthesized cordierite obtained from different compositions of raw materials were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The XRD analysis showed α-cordierite as a major phase for samples calcined at 1350 oC for 1 hr. The morphology of the surface of prepared cordierite appeared to be homogenous, smooth and non pours. Density and porosity of the prepared cordierite were also determined. | ||||
