Titanium dioxide is used as an emissivity enhancer in high emissivity coating compositions. The titanium dioxide increases the emissivity of the high emissivity coating compositions. In certain embodiments, titanium dioxide is recovered from industrial waste sources such as catalyst containing waste streams from olefin polymerization processes or re-based sources. Titanium dioxide emissivity enhancers recovered from industrial waste solution sources contribute favorably to the cost of manufacturing high emissivity coating compositions containing such enhancers.

A full-fiber burner brick and a preparation method thereof, comprising mixing alumina crystal fiber and amorphous ceramic fiber with both of them being a combination of fibers of different lengths gradations, and moreover adding fine powder fillers of different particle size gradations and supplementing other additives. This enables the internal structure of the product more uniform, increases the bulk density of the product, and also benefits the suction filterability of fiber cotton blank, and is conducive to forming and improving the strength of the blank. The surface of the brick body is further provided with a coating, which can effectively protect the cotton fiber of the brick body fiber from harsh environments, improve its high temperature resistance, and help to extend the service life of the burner brick.

The present disclosure relates to a process for making ceramic tiles characterized by the addition to the ceramic raw materials of an aqueous slurry comprising a swellable clay of the smectite family, a binder and a water-soluble salt of a monovalent cation.

A method for preparing said composition, a method for preparing a rigidified fabric of heat resistant fibers, the method for the manufacture of filtering devices, filtering devices so obtained, their use for the filtering of metal, and installation and process involving said filtering devices.

Disclosed herein are a polyimide film for graphite sheets and a graphite sheet manufactured using the same. The polyimide film is fabricated by imidizing a precursor composition including: a polyamic acid prepared by reacting a dianhydride monomer with a diamine monomer; and an organic solvent, wherein the diamine monomer includes about 30 mol % to about 70 mol % of 4,4-methylenedianiline and about 30 mol % to about 70 mol % of 4,4-oxydianiline based on the total number of moles of the diamine monomer, 4,4-methylenedianiline and 4,4-oxydianiline being present in total in an amount of about 85 mol % or more based on the total number of moles of the diamine monomer.
