Experimental Study on Influence of Vaporous Water on Salt Expansion of Sulfate Saline Soil by Shuquan Peng, Fan Wang, Ling Fan

“…Besides, when the relative humidity (RH) exceeds the critical relative humidity (CRH), sodium sulfate decahydrate can be formed by the combination of sodium sulfate and vaporous water, resulting in the salt volume expansion. However, at present, in the salt expansion mechanism of sulfate saline soil, only the influence of liquid water is considered while vaporous water is not involved. …”

Preparation of Porous Ceramic Building Decoration Materials by Foaming Method and Research on Nanomechanical Properties by Hongyao Zhang

“…In this paper, using mullite powder as the raw material, Al2O3 and SiO2/ZrSiO4 as the starting material for the mullite self-bonding phase, and AlF3·3H2O, ZrO2, and Y2O3 as additives, the zirconia-reinforced mullite was prepared by the foaming-injection method. The volume density, linear shrinkage rate, microstructure, room temperature, etc. of nanozirconia-reinforced mullite porous ceramics were studied by the amount of the foaming agent, the amount of mullite self-bonding phase powder, the type and amount of additives, etc. …”
