A lot of research has been done on ceramic foam in the past, but all of them have had their pros and cons. For example, JP-A-56-109859 describes a method in which granulated blast furnace slag is heated and foamed by adding a silicic acid-containing substance such as silica sand, a binder, and silicon carbide as a foaming aid. However, granulated blast furnace slag is not available everywhere and its quality is not consistent, making it difficult to produce products of consistent quality.

Further, Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-14627 describes heating and foaming volcanic ejecta such as whitebait, blast furnace water slag, and a water glass composition. However, the foam made by this method has the disadvantage that it is difficult to obtain a uniformly foamed product and also has low mechanical strength.

In the present invention, the volcanic ejecta and the CaO compound are mixed at a ratio of 60 to 90 parts by weight and 40 to 10 parts by weight, respectively, to help melt the volcanic ejecta and the CaO compound and facilitate foaming. Water glass, glass powder, or crushed fragments of the foam of the present invention may be added as an auxiliary agent. The amount added is preferably 20 parts by weight or less, more preferably 10 parts by weight or less for water glass or glass powder. If more than 20 parts by weight is added, the heat resistance will be poor and it will be difficult to foam uniformly. No matter how much debris was added to the foam of the present invention, it had no effect on the physical properties. Addition of once melted material, such as foam fragments, is particularly preferred since the mixture will melt more evenly. Silicon carbide serves as a foaming agent, and the amount used varies depending on the desired foaming ratio of the product, but in most cases, 1 part by weight or less is sufficient.

In the present invention, since volcanic ejecta and CaO compounds such as limestone, which are produced all over Japan, are used, there is no difficulty in obtaining raw materials.
Because CaO compounds are added, a product with strong mechanical strength can be obtained. Moreover, products produced from the same region have almost the same composition, so there is little variation in product quality, and good ceramic foams can be obtained. Furthermore, the foaming temperature is low, resulting in low energy costs during production.
