Abstract

In this research, porous materials were made from mine's waste slime. As a temperature changes, a phase changes, a porosity, and a mechanical strength of porous materials were observed and measured. The process of pore-formation was observed by SEM according to the change of heat-treatment temperature and time. It fumed out that the foaming reaction of mine's waste slime was resulted from liquid phase by decomposition of the sanidine and the muscovite-3T. When heat- treated at over 120$0^{\circ}C$, it appeared high porosity. And, to activate the foaming reaction, an alkaline oxide concerned with liquid formation was added and its effects were examined.
