Some Features of Ceramic Foam Filters Energy Efficient Technologies Development

Abstract

The technological features of ceramic foam filters production of have been investigated, an effective technology for their production has been developed, as well as analysis and calculation of energy efficiency of various technologies using electric furnaces of various designs has been carried out. Feasibility study was carried out for the developed technology application in industry, depending on the relative duration, energy intensity of heating and hightemperature holding in the thermal cycle of alumina ceramics without additives of other metal oxides and with 2% additions of titanium and manganese dioxides under equivalent and real conditions of experimental laboratory production. Physical and mechanical characteristics of filters developed are given.
