What are the requirements when producing fireproof materials by kaolin?
Kaolin refractories in fact play a role in two aspects, one is to improve the refractoriness, the second is to improve plasticity of the the refractory . Aluminum content the higher the better, of course, but kaolin is not the only material to improve the content of aluminum, using materials that contain higher content of aluminum such as the bauxite chamotte. So the content of kaolin aluminum does not have to be too high. over 38% is fine. viscosity is important and strong viscidityis better without having to add bentonite. Refractoriness above 1400 degrees is enough.
. Kaolin are kaolinite crowded mineral composed of tiny flakes tubulose, lamellar smaller than 2 microns. it is composed of kaolinite, dickite, pearl stone, halloysite etc. I chemical formula of which is AL2O3-2SiO2-2H2O, the main mineral component is kaolinite and halloysite. Except kaolinite and halloysite there are other minerals montmorillonite, illite, pyrophyllite, quartz and feldspar associated. kaolin contains large amounts of the chemical composition AL2O3, SiO2, and a small amount of Fe2O3, TiO2, and small amounts of K2O, Na2O, CaO and MgO, etc. white pottery is made of kaolin and is now internationally accepted scientific name --Kaolin, derived from the eastern suburb of Jingdezhen high-Village side of the mountain kaolinite. kaolin plasticity, cohesiveness, certain dry strength, sinterability and whiteness after burning, making it the main raw material for ceramic production;. white, soft, highly dispersed, adsorption and chemical resistance with other excellent process performance, it has been widely used in the paper industry as well as industrial sectors such as agriculture and defense cutting-edge technology in the field of rubber, plastics, refractories, petroleum refining . according to the purpose and need, it can be processed, treated and purified, they can be used to produce activated clay.
