Abstract:

Refractory materials are provided which contain PO/ROconstituents, where R is Y, Sc, Er, Lu, Yb, Tm, Ho, Dy, Tb, Gd, or a combination thereof, and/or VO/R′Oconstituents where R′ is Y, Sc, one or more rare earth elements, or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the refractory materials are xenotime-type materials and/or xenotime-stabilized zircon-type materials. The refractory materials can be used in the manufacture of glass and glass-ceramics. For example, the refractory materials, especially those that contain PO/ROconstituents, can be used as forming structures (“isopipes”) in the fusion process for making flat sheets of glass such as the glass sheets used as substrates in the manufacture of flat panel displays.

International Classification:

F27D001/16

US Classification:

264/030000, 264/647000

Abstract:

A process for forming a silicon nitride-bonded silicon carbide honeycomb monolith by a) forming a plasticizable mixture which includes (1) about 60% to 85% by weight, powdered silicon carbide with a median particle size of about 10-40 micrometers; (2) about 15% to 40% by weight, powdered silicon metal with a median particle size of about 5-20 micrometers; and, (3) organic components; b) extruding the plasticizable mixture to form a green honeycomb monolith; c) drying the green honeycomb monolith; and, d) heating the honeycomb monolith to 1450 C. with a hold of 1 hour in an atmosphere of argon; and, e) nitriding the honeycomb monolith between 1450 C. to 1600 C. for a time sufficient to obtain a silicon nitride-bonded silicon carbide body.

Abstract:

Sorbent substrates for COcapture and methods for forming the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for forming a sorbent substrate for COcapture may include forming a plurality of matrix rods from a sorbent material and forming a plurality of channel rods from a support material. The plurality of matrix rods may then be co-extruded with the plurality of channel rods to form a plurality of sorbent filaments comprising a matrix of the sorbent material in which channels of support material are positioned such that the channels extend in an axial direction of each of the plurality of sorbent filaments. The plurality of sorbent filaments may then be stacked to form a filament assembly in which the plurality of sorbent filaments are axially aligned. Thereafter, the plurality of sorbent filaments of the filament assembly may be bonded to one another to form the sorbent substrate.

Abstract:

Coated glass articles for a glass-ceramic ceramming process including a parting agent coated on a surface of the glass article. The parting agent coating can comprise an aqueous dispersion comprising amorphous silicon dioxide agglomerate particles and a dispersant. The parting agent coating can be dried to forming a parting layer for glass articles in a glass stack for a ceramming process that transforms the glass articles into glass-ceramic articles.

Abstract:

Honeycomb bodies and methods for treating a honeycomb bodies that include a skin surrounding a matrix of cells, the skin and the matrix of cells comprising a porous inorganic material. Methods include applying a buffer solution to only the porous inorganic material of the skin and coating the porous inorganic material of the skin with an oxide slurry. The oxide slurry includes an oxide or a precursor of the oxide configured to increase the isostatic strength of the honeycomb body. After treatment, the honeycomb body may be dried.
