Abstract

A process of debinding a ceramic product utilizes a furnace for heating the ceramic product therein in the presence of a surrounding gas so as to remove an organic binder contained in the ceramic product. The ceramic product is continuously heated to an elevated temperature during which the organic binder is decomposed to generate a cracked gas. The process monitors the condition of the cracked gas and controls, depending upon the monitored condition, to vary a temperature gradient at which the ceramic product is heated and at the same time to vary an amount of the surrounding gas being supplied to the furnace in such a manner as to remove the organic binder successfully from within the ceramic product without leaving any unacceptable defect therein.
