The detailed thermodynamic calculation of the preparing process was carried out by using the phase diagram and equilibrium component function module in FactSage 8.1 software, which provided precise theoretical guidance for the practical synthesis experiment.
This study focused on the value-add utilization of secondary aluminum dross (SAD) and ferronickel slag (FNS) by preparing porous cordierite–mullite ceramics (CMC) for thermal insulation. Because of the low utilization rate, a large amount of metallurgical slag was piled up or buried each year, resulting in serious environmental pollution and resource waste.
