다공성 세라믹의 발포에 관한 연구

In this study, lightweight aggregate was made from basalt stone powder sludge. Clay and glass powder were respectively added from 0 to 20 wt% and from 0 to 100 wt%. The glass powder helped to form glassy phase which trapped generating gas in the materials. CaCO₃ helping bloating process was added from 0 to 10 wt%. It was possible to produce lightweight aggregate at range from 1150℃ to 1200℃. The specimen was heated in furnace at 1100, 1150 and 1200℃ for 15 min, respectively, to sinter aggregates. Chemical composition of materials were determined, and characteristics were analyzed, including specific gravity, water absorption. Lightweight aggregate which was heated at 1200℃ had specific gravity of 0.53 g/㎤, water absorption of 3.08%, and this value satisfied KS L 8551 standard.
