Effect of plant waste materials as pore-forming agents on the preparation and characterization of macroporous cordierite-mullite-zirconia ceramic composites.

ABSTRACT: Porous ceramic materials have generated significant attention and played pioneering roles in a variety of industries. This work aims to prepare porous ceramic composites based on cordierite, mullite, and tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO₂), which are considered one of the most effective materials in several applications. Nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel and co-precipitation methods and then characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and surface area measurements. The tetragonal form of the prepared nano zirconia was stabilized using ceria. To prepare the cordierite-mullite-t-ZrO₂ macroporous ceramics, nano t-ZrO₂ was added in various ratios from 0 to 30 wt% at the expense of nano mullite, while nano cordierite
