Abstract

Abstract : The fracture behaviors of three ceramic categories were studied to achieve the appropriate conditions for manufacturing reliable packed bed employed in liquid–gas contactors. The compression strength of beds was measured by a universal method, and fracture behaviors were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. According to the applied statistical approach results, the reliability of ceramic beds is controlled mainly by the binder type, humidity of paste, particle size distribution of fluxing agents and fillers. Between the studied factors, the roles of composition and humidity are predominant.
