Description
Summary:This work represents a study of the production of refractory material of baddeleyite and corundum from Rosetta zircon. This method is based on sintering of zircon with aluminum fluoride in presence of graphité. The desilication of zircon with the formation of baddeleyite and corundum was found to take place optimally at 850 °C at 1 hour using zircon, aluminium fluoride and graphite mixes of ratio 1:0.8 :0.1. Also, the behaviour of zircon was studied under different sintering conditions.
