ABSTRACT

The glass-ceramics made from the mixture of coal bottom ash, produced from a thermal power plant mixed with Na2O and Li2O was fabricated and their crystallization behavior was studied using a non-isothermal analyzing method. The temperature for 50 % crystallization was higher than the exothermic peak temperature Tp at DTA curve and the quickest crystallization temperature was much the same as Tp as identified from the relationships of crystallized fraction and crystallization rate with temperature. By using Kissinger equation describing a crystallization behavior, the activation energy (262 kJ/mol), the Avrami constant (1.7) and the frequency (5.7 × 1016/s) for crystallization were calculated from which the nepheline crystal could be expected as showing an 1~2-dimensional surface crystallization behavior mainly with some bulk crystallization tendency at the same time. The actual observation of microstructure using SEM showed the considerable amount of surface crystals of dendrite and the bulk crystals with low fraction, so the prediction by the Kissinger equation was in accord with the crystallization behavior of glass-ceramics fabricated in this study.
