Abstract:
Using molybdenum tailings from Shaanxi as the main raw material and low grade rutile concentrate as the nucleating agent, glass ceramics with anorthite as the main crystal phase and diopside as the secondary crystal phase were prepared by sintering method. The effect of low grade rutile concentrate on mechanical properties and chemical stability of glass ceramics with molybdenum tailing was investigated. The results show that the optimum addition of low grade rutile concentrate is 8%. Under this condition, the compressive strength and flexural strength of glass ceramics are respectively 162.3 MPa and 86.1 MPa, the volume density is 2.93 g·cm
-3, and the mass loss rate of acid resistance and alkali resistance are 0.19% and 0.16%, respectively. The research results can provide a new idea and method for efficient utilization of molybdenum tailings and low grade rutile concentrate resources.
