Abstract

A systematic study has been made of the effects of aluminium fluoride on the thermal behaviour of kaolin, using differential thermal, thermogravimetric, X-ray and electron microscope techniques. It is shown that mullite can be formed at a temperature as low as 600°C; that in the presence of aluminium fluoride the exothermic reaction occurs at a lower temperature and is reduced in size; that the size of the mullite crystals is increased as a result of pretreatment with aluminium fluoride.
