Abstract:
There is provided a method for the fabrication of porous SiC ceramic. The method comprises oxidizing particles of SiC ceramic thereby forming amorphous silica on the surface of the particles. The oxidized SiC particles are then mixed with an additive. Alternatively, layer(s) of the additive is (are) deposited on their surface by sol-gel technique. The oxidized SiC particles mixed or coated with the additive are then mixed with at least one pore-former. Alternatively, the oxidized SiC particles mixed or coated with the additive are coated with layer(s) of a polymer or pore-former by in-situ polymerization. In embodiments where the oxidized SiC particles are mixed with an additive and a pore-former or polymer, a further additive may be used. In each of these embodiments, the resulting product is then compacted into a green body which is heated and sintered to yield the porous SiC ceramic material. There is also provided a porous SiC ceramic fabricated by the method according to the invention.

Abstract:
Hydrophobic aggregates for use in refractory castables and gunning mixtures and methods of their preparation. The aggregates here are formed by crushing insulating fire brick and coating the resulting particles with a hydrophobic component. The hydrophobic component may be a polydimethylsiloxane having a terminal silanol group. As a result of the coating process, the coated aggregate has very low levels of alkalis. The aggregates may be used to form refractory castables that do not undergo substantial alkaline hydrolysis due to the reduced levels of alkalis. The castables made from these aggregates display superior physical properties, including lower water content, lower permanent linear change, high strength, and superior thermal conductivity/insulation properties, while at the same time possessing lower density and requiring less water to be used during castable formation. These improved properties also are observed in gunning mixtures formed from these aggregates.
