Abstract Four types of bauxite
materials were fired in a variable frequency microwave furnace. The mullite, corundum and cristobalite
phases which developed in the fired extrudates were
quantitatively determined by X-ray diffractrometry.
The mineralogical phase transformations which occurred during microwave
heating are discussed with regard to reduced processing time and energy
requirement. Key Words: Microwave furnace, Firing, Bauxite mineral |
