    The aim of this work is the investigation of ceramic fibre forming ability from the Si, Mg, Ca and Al oxide system employing plasma technology, the realisation of fibre synthesis process, the study of chemical and physical properties of products produced and the development of new applications for the national needs of participating countries. The investigation of physical properties will be focused on thermal properties (thermal conductivity, operating temperature, thermal stability, thermal expansion coefficient, etc.) and catalytic properties (especially CO and SO2 oxidation and NOx reduction possibilities). The development of new applications will include investigating the possibilities of using the novel mineral fibres as additional components in cementitious materials, the employment of fibre for improvement of ecological characteristics of water and steam boilers using wool filters and the treatment of exhaust gas discharged from thermal factories and plants. The research also includes the determination of a possible range of uses of the product as noise protection material, for production of fibre reinforced polymers as a matrix for polyester and epoxy resins employed for civil, naval and aesthetic needs.

    LEI activities in the Project

    Workers of Lithuanian Energy Institute offer, create and realize a method and technology for the synthesis of mineral fibers from ceramic materials – sand, dolomite asbestos, aluminum oxide and their mixtures. Perform microscopic research of the product, determine the free surface of the product by BET method and perform research related to the use of the obtained product heterogenous catalytic processes.
