 Technology Profile

Title:

Production of Fused Mullite Powder from Fly-ash

Value Proposition:

Fused mullite has characteristics such as low conductivity, exceptional resistance to thermal shocks, and resistance to deformation under load. A few notable areas of application of fused mullite are: refractories for glass and steel industries, kiln furniture, and spark plug bodies. It is applied as a shell building material in the investment casting process.

Summary Application:

Mullite is being imported in huge quantities from other countries. Fused mullite has superior properties than commercially avaialable sintered mullite powder

Advantages:

Plasma processing is very fast and efficient.

Utilization of industrial waste like flyashwill reduce soil/land pollution thereby giving a positive impact on environment
