Evaluates acrylic additives for improving granule quality in ceramic processing, suggesting a framework for optimization.
Freeze granulation is an effective method for producing homogeneous and spherical ceramic granules, although its efficiency depends strongly on the formulation and processing conditions of the initial suspension. In this study, the performance of selected DURAMAX™ acrylic additives from The Dow Chemical Company was systematically evaluated using aqueous alumina systems to assess their roles as dispersants, binders, and/or plasticizers in advanced ceramic processing. High-purity alumina ( [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] solid loading) suspensions were prepared using DURAMAX™ D-3005, DURAMAX™ B-1000, and DURAMAX™ B-1022. The effects of solid loading, binder content, dispersant type, plasticizer addition, atomization pressure, and suspension flow rate on granule morphology, size distribution, and flowability were investigated. The results demonstrate that the combined optimization of formulation and atomization parameters significantly enhances granule uniformity and flowability and provides a practical formulation–process–property framework for designing reproducible freeze-granulated alumina feedstocks based on industrial acrylic additives.
