Abstract

The effect of impurities of andalusite on the morphology of the crystallization of mullite was investigated. The raw, concentrated and purified andalusite were fired at 145$0^{\circ}C$. and 150$0^{\circ}C$. Each of three grades of andalusite was examined in a scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and etc. The raw andalusite showed deeply etched textures and prismatic crystals which are estimated to be an average of 2.5u in width and 15u in length. Concentrated andalusite showed poorly formed and elongated prismatic crystals. Purified andalusite showed condensed needle-like crystals which are estimated to be an average of 0.4$\mu$ in width and 2.0$\mu$ in length, but at the boundary of the original andalusite grain, prismatic crystals were seen. It is supposed that the purified andalusite is able to utilize as a raw material for high alumina refractories with refractoriness S.K. 38.
