최근 환경오염 문제가 대두되면서 친환경 재료로 만들어진 제품에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 친환경재료는 기존의 재료보다 성능이 낮거나 비싼 가격 때문에 대체하기가 쉽지 않다. 세노스피어는 화력발전소에서 생성되는 부산물중 하나로 기존 재료에 첨가되는 충전재와 유사한 성분으로 구성되어 있으며, 가벼운 것이 특징이다. 본 논문에서는 화력발전소로부터 발생되는 부산물을 절연재료의 충전재로써 활용하는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 에폭시수지에 세노스피어 0~100[wt%]와 실리카 0~40[wt%]를 각각 첨가하여 온도변화에 따른 AC 절연파괴강도 및 유리전이온도, 열팽창율을 시험하였다. 절연파괴 실험 결과 세노스피어/에폭시 복합재료는 실리카/에폭시 복합재료에 비하여 높은 성능을 보여주었으며, 유리전이온도와 열팽창계수는 비슷하거나 좋은 성능을 보여주었다. 따라서 세노스피어는 기존에 사용되고 있는 충전재를 대체할 수 있다고 사료된다.

A porous ceramic which has fine porosity and small specific gravity is made with Cenosphere and Ball Clay under condition of $1,250^{\circ}C$ in calcination temperature and 30 minutes of calcination time. The average size of porous ceramic was about $2.5{\times}10^{-5}$ m and pores are well developed. The void-fraction of porous ceramic was 67.1% under the input of Cenosphere and Ball clay with the weight ratio of 100 to 5. However, as weight ratio of Ball Clay increased to 20, 40, 100, the void fraction decreased to 58.4, 56.7, 47% respectively. When the weight ratio of Cenosphere and Ball Clay was 100 to 100, the apparent density of porous ceramic was $1.04g/cm^3$. which is twice the density when the weight ratio of Ball Clay was 5. On the other hand, absorption rate decreased by at least 100%. In condition of weight ratio of Cenosphere and Ball Clay was 100 to 100, compressive strength of porous ceramic was 30 (MPa), improve by about 76% or more when the weight ratio of Ball Clay was 5.

Recycled cenosphere, which is a hollow shaped particle from fly ash, has become attractive as a building material due to its light weight and excellent heat insulation and soundproof properties. In this paper, we investigated the effect of cenosphere size on the physical and optical properties. High brightness of cenosphere as raw material is required for a wide range of ceramics applications, particularly in fields of building materials and industrial ceramic tiles. Cenospheres were sorted by particle size; the microstructure was analyzed according to the cenosphere size distribution. Cenospheres were generally composed of quartz, mullite, and amorphous phase. Colour measurement corresponding to chemical composition revealed that the contents of iron oxide and carbon in the cenospheres were the major factors determining the brightness of the cenospheres.
