Influence of CaO/MgO ratio on Microstructure and Properties of Baiyunebo Tailing/Fly Ash Glass-Ceramics Abstract: Glass-ceramic of CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 quaternary system was successfully produced by the method of melting, using Baiyunebo tailing and fly ash as main sources of raw materials. The influence of CaO/MgO ratio on the crystallization, structure and properties of the glass-ceramics have been investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature of the glass-ceramics decreases with the decrease of CaO/MgO ratio. The main crystalline phase also changes from well crystallized augite to poor crystallized magnesioferrite at the same time. This contributes mainly to the observed decrease in the mechanical properties of the glass-ceramics. Keywords: Glass-ceramics; CaO/MgO ratio; Baiyunebo Tailing; mechanical properties 1. Introduction Industrial residues, such as tailing, fly ash, aluminum refining red mud, steel slag, etc., always discarded by land filling and considered as various “wastes”, have aroused wide concerns all over the world because of their hazardous effects on the environment [1-3]. Lately, accumulated studies have shown all these “wastes” can be used as the main starting materials in the production of Glass-ceramics which can have been applied in the fields of construction industry and erosion or high hardness particles transportation. For the sake of succession and further optimization of such practices, it is fundamentally important to understand the effect of the basic constituents of above mentioned “wastes”, such as CaO, Al2O3, and SiO2, etc., on the glass-ceramics. Our previous studies have shown that tailing originated from Baiyunebo iron mine and fly ash generated by a thermal power plants at suburban areas of Baotou, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, P.R. China, are suitable for the fabri
