Extract

The effect of TiO2 addition on the crystallization and phase transformation process in Li2O · Al2O3 · 4SiO2 gels with various TiO2 contents was investigated using differential thermal analysis, x-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The activation energy increased from 98.2 to 184.6 kcal/mol as the TiO2 content rose from 2.0 to 8.0 wt. %. The crystallization sequence and phase transformation were similar in LAS gels with various wt.% of TiO2 additions, except in the case of a 2.0 wt.% TiO2 content. During calcination from 800 to 1200 °C, crystallization of the β-spodumene phase progressed with increasing temperature, and a minor crystalline phase, rutile, also appeared.
