Effect of plant-derived organic binders on fracture toughness and fatigue of kaolin-based refractories
(2008)
The fracture properties of kaolin-based refractories prepared using plant-derived binders from okra and “mrenda” have been investigated and compared. It was observed that the MOR of fired samples improved from 37.5 ± 0.1 ...
Effect of crystalline phases on the strength of (quartz-feldspar-kaolin ) porcelain
(2000)
The effect of mullite and quartz phases on the strength of Kenyan tri-axial porcelain
in the system Quartz-feldspar-kaolin has been investigated. It was found that both the
compressive and tensile strengths of porcelain ...
Effect of silica additions on strength and elastic modulus of Kenyan industrial clay ceramics
(2000)
The effect of silica additions on material properties of Kenyan industrial clay ceramics composed of 0-
50% wt silica and a feldspar-kaolin content ratio in the range 1:1 to 5:8 was investigated. Highest sintered
density ...
The Effect of Quartz and Mullite Phases on Strength of Triaxial Porcelain
(2004)
The Effect of quartz and mullite crystalline phases on the strength of triaxial porcelain in the
system quartz-feldspar-kaolin composed of20% wt silica and feldspar/kaolin ratio of 5:8 have been
investigated. It was found ...
Organic binders to enhance fuel efficiency of charcoal (Jikos) and in water filters
(University of Nairobi, 2013-12)
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, ...
Effect of Sintering Temperature on Material Properties of Kenyan Industrial Clay Ceramics
(University of Nairobi, 1999)
Ultrasonic attenuation in Kenyan clay refractories
(1999)
Ultrasonic attenuation in clay refractories fabricated under different processing parameters has been measured. It was established that refractory clay samples with high compaction efficiencies (CE) were less attenuating ...
Thermal shock behaviour of a kaolinte refractory prepared using a natural organic binder
(Springer, 2006)
The thermal shock resistance of a kaolinite-based refractory prepared with a binder derived from a plant (corchorus olitorius) was investigated. Thermal shock tests employing water-quenching technique were performed at ...
An Investigation of Thermal Shock in Porous Clay Ceramics
(2011)
The thermal shock resistance of porous ceramic materials is often characterized by the Hasselman parameters. However, in other
scenarios,the room-temperature residual strengths after thermal shock are also used to quantify ...
