Mullite

Japanese: ムライト
Mullite

A general term for aluminosilicates with the composition 3Al 2 O 3 ・2SiO 2 - 2Al 2 O 3 ・SiO 2. Needle-shaped crystals. Rarely found in nature. It is found in thermally metamorphic rocks on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, from which it takes its name. 3Al 2 O 3 ・2SiO 2 : Orthorhombic crystal system, lattice constants a = 0.749, b = 0.785, c = 0.574 nm. Density 3.15 g cm -3 . Refractive index α = 1.642, β = 1.644, γ = 1.654. ​​Optic axis angle 2 V = 45-50°. Positive optical properties. Melting point 1850 °C. Mullite is a high-temperature stable phase of the Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 system that is also produced by heating clay (kaolin) and is found in ceramics and silica-alumina refractories. It has high refractoriness, great mechanical strength, and excellent load-softening properties, and is used as mullite porcelain and silica-alumina refractories for scientific and chemical applications and for spark plug insulators. It is manufactured by firing clay and alumina in a rotary kiln.
