Effect of Maitenance Technology on the Properties of Quartz Sand Unfired Porous Materials

The low grade quartz sands is the main raw material to prepare the unfired porous brick through adjusting the maitenance technology. The compressive strength of brick is higher with the maitenance temperature for 40¡æ. The compressive strength of brick is higher with the longer maitenance time. The high performance brick is prepared via the third technology, the pore of brick is more and uniform, it is bowl shape, that is close pore, which provide the reference for preparing the heat insulating materials. The compressive strength of brick is 1.9MPa, the density is 0.628 g/cm3.
