BS EN 12905:2012EN 12905:2012 (E) 9 Annex A (informative) General information on expanded aluminosilicate A.1 Origin A.1.1 Raw material Clay and slate. A.1.2 Manufacturing process Clay and slate are produced by quarrying. The material i

42、s then thermally treated in a special oven, and finally crushed and sieved. A.2 Typical properties A.2.1 Chemical composition The composition depends on the origin of the raw materials. Examples are given in Table A.1. Table A.1 Chemical composition Parameter Mass fraction in % SiO2range 55 to 75 Al

43、2O3range 10 to 25 Fe2O3range 2 to 15 CaO range 2 to 10K2O max 10 Na2O max 10 Mineralogical and petrological analyses give additional information. A.2.2 Mechanical strength The mechanical strength of aluminosilicates is high. Abrasion products consist of dust and small particles of material. They are

44、 formed during transportation, filling, and washing. Abrasion products are not completely removed by washing. The existing methods for determination of abrasion do not lead to exact results regarding behaviour of filter media during operation. They can be used only for comparison of different filter

45、 media.
