Effects of Milling pH and Hydrothermal Treatment on Formation of Nanostructured Boehmite Binder for Alumina Extrusion

Figure 7

Results of extrusion tests (force as a function of distance traveled by the piston) of the pastes prepared with treated powders (milled under different pH conditions and hydrothermally treated) and different amounts of CMC content: (a) 0 wt%, (b) 1.0 wt%, (c) 1.5 wt%, and (d) 2.0 wt%.
