What are the environmental hazards of magnesia chrome refractory bricks?

Answer:

Some of the magnesia chrome bricks will be converted into Cr6+ when used, producing K2CrO4 and other toxic and carcinogenic compounds such as Cr3+
Magnesia chrome brick with MgO and Cr2O3 as the main component of this kind of brick, high refractoriness, high strength, anti alkaline slag corrosion resistance, excellent thermal stability, has certain adaptability in industry wide application of now high temperature acid slag
Nowadays, the use of magnesia chrome bricks, especially in cement kilns in the construction industry, has been required to be free of chromium, and the cement products shall not be tested with chromium.
