Is it possible to make the production of SiC ceramics cheaper by using cheaper raw materials (as e.g. carbon black from recycled tires and Si powder from semiconductor industry or other alternative sources)?
I think that, perhaps, the review paper recently published " Processing and properties of macroporous silicon carbide ceramics: A review , Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies, V. 1, pp. 220–242 (2013)" can help you.
