Effects of Ultra-fast High-Temperature Sintering on the Densification and Leaching Resistance of Hollandite Ceramics
摘要
This study examines the effects of ultra-fast high-temperature sintering on hollandite ceramics, particularly in terms of densification and leaching resistance. Compared to conventional sintering methods, the ultra-fast high-temperature sintering process significantly enhances the density of hollandite samples, increasing it from ~ 50 to ~ 81%. This improvement is primarily attributed to efficient particle bonding and grain refinement achieved within a short sintering duration. Furthermore, hollandite ceramics produced via ultra-fast high-temperature sintering exhibited leaching resistance twice as high as those processed by conventional sintering, indicating their potential for applications in highly corrosive environments. The microstructural analysis highlights the positive impacts of ultra-fast high-temperature sintering on the crystal structure and porosity of hollandite ceramics, providing valuable insights into their advanced development for nuclear waste forms and other high-performance ceramic applications.
