The present work analyses a set of cylinders manufactured by pressing and fired from 1000 °C to 1270 °C, which are composed pure Al-rich rocks (bauxite) mixtures bauxite with Al–K-rich clays. aim the study is determine mineral textural transformations that take place in firing their influence on physical properties final products order evaluate refractory potential comparing them various commer...

Abstract Nanocrystalline boehmite material was synthesized using the hydrothermal method. Different annealing temperatures have been used to transform into different alumina phases study effect of phase transitions on thermoluminescence properties alumina. XRD analysis carried out investigate crystal structure phases. The glow curves for showed structures; however, sensitivity almost constant a...
