Popis: In this present study, the porous anorthite ceramics were prepared from white clay and precipitated calcium carbonate via polymeric foam replication method. The effects of various precipitated calcium carbonate additions (0, 10, 15, and 25 wt.%) on the properties of porous anorthite ceramics have been studied. The main phase that revealed after the additions of 20 and 25 wt.% of precipitated calcium carbonate was anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2). The porosity of the porous anorthite ceramics was increased (from 67 to 77 percent) with the increasing amount of precipitated calcium carbonate. Meanwhile, the density of the porous anorthite ceramics was increased (from 0.463 to 0.703 g/cm3) with the increasing amount of precipitated calcium carbonate. The flexural strength of porous anorthite ceramics consisting of predominantly anorthite phase are ranged from 0.24 to 1.23 MPa. Finally, the correlation between the flexural strength on the foam density has been studied. The flexural strength was increased when the f...
