| A research and product development study relating to the processing
of fly ash into a crystallized glass is described. Nucleation and
crystallization of the initial glassy product were brought about by
the incorporation of selected nucleating agents which were chemically
compatible with fly ash. The paper describes the raw materials,
fluxing agents, nucleating agents and characterization to establish
the physical, mechanical and electrical properties. Properties of the
developed material have been compared with the Russian Slag Sitall
and commercial porcelain insulator. |
