This work presents experimental and theoretical study of the effect of a plant
bidder (corchirus olitorius) on the thermal shock resistance and thermal con:
of kaolinite-based refractories. Shock-induced crack growth, thermal conductr
mechanical strength is studied in sintered structures produced from powde
varying binder concentrations. The underlying microstructures are elucida
scanning electron microscope (SEM). The implications of this work are discus
the design of strong and long lasting ceramic stove linings for the energy sav
efficient stoves for rural and urban area households in developing countries
wood/charcoal is the main source of energy. Another implication is the de
stronger ceramic water filter membranes used for water purification.
