초록

본 논문은 kaolinite(Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O)-aluminum trihydroxide(Al(OH3) 혼합물을 소결전에 planetary ball mill을 사용하여 건식 중에서 혼합분쇄한 후, 이 혼합물을 사용하여 소결하는 동안에 mullite의 생성거동을 연구한 것이다. 혼합물의 입자크기 감소는 분쇄 초기에 현저하였으며, 분쇄기간이 증가함에 따라 미립자들이 응집하는 현상을 보였다. 혼합물의 결정구조는 planetary ball milling에 의한 혼합분쇄에 따라 쉽게 비정질화되었으며, 비정질화되는 정도는 분쇄시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. Kaolinite의 초기 분순물로 존재했던 anatase를 제외한 mullite상만이 상대적으로 낮은 소결온도인 1523K에서 혼합분쇄한 혼합물의 소결체에서 나타났다. 한편, 분쇄하지 않은 혼합물의 소결체의 경우는 이 온도에서 mullite 상 이외에 corundum, cristobalite, Al-Si spinel상이 공존하는 형태로 나타났다. 따라서, 혼합분쇄처리는 출발원료의 미소 규모에 있어서 균일혼합 및 분산을 촉진시키며, 또한 결정구조변화에 따른 열분해온도의 변화일으켜, 상대적으로 낮은 온도에서 고순도의 mullite를 직접 생성하는데 효과적이였다.

The present paper describes the effect of dry mixed grinding on kaolinite-aluminum trihydroxide mixture with a planetary ball mill before sintering and its influence on mullite formation during sintering. The size reduction of the mixture is market in the early stage of grinding and the obtained fine particles agglomerate subsequently with an increase of grinding time. The crystal structure of the mixture is collapsed easily into an amorphous one by planetary ball milling, of which amount increases with an increase of grinding time. Only mullite phase except for anatase as an inherent impurity in kaolinite appeared in the sintered body of the mixtures with mixed grinding as relatively lower temperature 1523K, while corundum, cristobalite, and Al-Si spinel phases, besides mullite were formed in the sintered body of the mixture without mixed grinding. Therefore, the mixed grinding treatment is very effective to improve the homogeneous mixing and disp-ersion of the mixture of raw materials on a micro scale and to decrease the thermal decomposition tem-perature by crystal structure change of them so as to obatin direct preparation of mullite with high purity at relatively low temperature.
