How many refractory materials does the annual output of 1 million tons of coke oven require?
Refractory material is an important material used in iron and steel industry, it is mainly used in steel-making furnace, furnace lining, loading and transportation of metal and slag ladle lining, the furnace lining procedure of billet heating, heat conduction and lining of blast furnace and the flue. So, to put it simply, we can think of it as a structural material, which can withstand a temperature of 260-1760 degrees centigrade.
The production of dense synthetic Magnesium Oxide requires many steps, briefly summarized as follows:(1) Mgcl2+Ca, Mg (OH) 2, =Mg (OH) 2+CaCl2Sea salt or brine, dolomite, magnesium hydroxide, residual salt(2) Mg (OH) 2 Mg0 (low density);(3) MgO, Mgo (compact)The resulting compact Magnesium Oxide generally has a purity of up to 95%-99%, depending on the manufacturing process and the final application requirements. As shown above, Magnesium Oxide can be obtained from sea water and slaked lime. The density of the final product is through the high temperature roasting in shaft furnace and the large area obtained by calcination, and the mechanical compaction. Through the pre sintered refractory material to fundamentally eliminate the permanent contraction or extension is extremely important, it is obviously, because we cannot expect excessive contraction or extension in the use of the materials can be used to store the proper degree of molten metal or slag. The production of magnesium oxygen throughout the world (Fang Meishi) large factories in the United States, Michigan by brine well production, and by the sea water production Magnesium Oxide factory is located in Florida, Texas, California and Maryland.
Refractory materials are expensive, and any refractory accident will lead to a considerable waste of production time and equipment, and sometimes even the product itself. The type of refractory material will also affect energy consumption and product quality. Therefore, it is very important to select the refractory material which is most suitable for various applications. While the economic benefits have great influence, refractory material most suitable for some applications need not be used for materials, but can achieve a balance between material installation cost and performance, this balance is not fixed, but with the introduction of new technology or new refractory materials and changing. History has proved that unremittingly seek metallurgical process more reasonable and development, greatly promoted the development of refractories, quickly resolve these problems has become the modern refractory steel technology development is an important element. The content of this article is to discuss a number of factors including these issues and to provide information on how to solve them.
