Abstract
Preliminary studies on the carbothermal reduction of kaolinite (A1203.2SiO2.2H20) in a static nitrogen gas pressure of 0.15 MPa are reported. The effect of various reaction parameters, e.g. temperature of the reaction (1550-1700xB0;C), mole ratios of carbon to silica (4.5-9.0) in the reactant mixture and nature and source of carbon, e.g. activated charcoal (sp. surface area, 1000 m 2/gm) and13; carbon black (sp. surface area, 300 m 2/gm) on the carbothermal reduction have been investigated. It is observed that mullite, silicon oxy-nitride and X-sialon phases are present at low temperatures, while (3'-sialons, [3-SiC, A1 203 and A1N are present at high temperatures.13; Activated charcoal is more reactive than carbon black and the reaction rate is more for higher mole ratios of carbon.
