Mullite, (Al6O5(SiO4)2)

Description:
Mullite, with the chemical formula Al6O5(SiO4)2 and CAS number 1302-93-8, is a silicate mineral primarily composed of aluminum and silicon oxides. It is characterized by its high thermal stability, low thermal expansion, and excellent mechanical strength, making it an important material in high-temperature applications, such as ceramics and refractory products. Mullite typically forms in a hexagonal crystal structure and exhibits a white to light gray color. Its unique properties include good resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, which are essential for its use in kiln linings, furnace components, and other industrial applications. Additionally, mullite has a relatively low density compared to other refractory materials, contributing to its utility in lightweight applications. The mineral is often synthesized through various methods, including solid-state reactions and sol-gel processes, and is valued for its role in enhancing the performance of ceramic composites and other advanced materials.

    CAS:

    Mullite is an inorganic compound that is a form of silicon dioxide. It is chemically and physically similar to the mineral quartz, but with the silicon dioxide replaced by aluminium oxide. Mullite has a low-temperature synthesis method that involves heating a mixture of sodium citrate, boron nitride, and water vapor. The reaction mechanism for this process includes ionization of water vapor molecules to produce hydroxide ions and hydrogen gas. The kinetic data for mullite formation indicates a high resistance to chemical reactions at high temperatures and stability against thermal expansion.
