What is the criterion of entry of refractory clay industry?

What is the criterion of entry of refractory clay industry?

Answer:

Refractory clay refers to clay which has a refractoriness of more than 1580 ℃ and can be used as refractory material and bauxite which used as refractory material . In addition to a higher refractoriness, they can keep the stability of volume under high temperature conditions and have slag resistance and thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength, so they are extremely firm after calcination.
There are two requirements: (a) Enterprises mining and processing high-alumina clay meet the national industrial policy, and in line with the requirements of mineral resources planning and industrial planning, industrial development planning of high alumina clay in provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), urban planning, the whole land use planning, mineral resources planning, environmental protection and pollution prevention planning. (b) The building of new mines of high alumina clay in areas where exploitation of mines are restricted in national and local level should be strictly limited. It is prohibited to build new mines in areas where exploitation of mines is banned, and the mines have been built should be disposed in accordance with the mineral resources planning and relevant national regulations. It is prohibited to build high-alumina clay production and processing enterprises in special conservation areas such as drinking water source reservation areas, natural reservation areas, scenic reservation areas, ecological function reservation areas, basic farmland reservation areas, cities and their suburbs, residence, schools and kindergartens, health center, hospitals and perimeter 1 km from enterprises having high requirements on the environment such as food, medicine, electronics etc., the both banks of main rivers and roads, somewhere near trunk railways.
Standard sizes of refractory bricks in our country are: 230mm × 114mm × 65mm; ordinary brick: 240 * 115 * 53, Building blocks: (blind holes, through-holes) 240 * 390 * 190 * 190,240 * 190,240 * 190,190 * 90 * 190 * 390 * 190,190 * 190,190 * 190,190 * 190 * 90 * 190, 140 * 390 * 190,140 * 190,990 * 190 * 200 * 400, from 0 * 390 * 190 * 190,90 * 190,90 * 90 * 190. There is also an interlocked hollow blocks: 90 * 200 * 200 * 400,90 * 245,90 * 200,90 * 200 * 200 * 100, 90 * 200 * 290,150 * 275,150 * 200 * 200 * 200, 150 * 200 * 100, 150 * 200 * 290.
Chemical composition of refractory clay is one of the important factors affecting its quality. Al2O3 is the beneficial part of refractory clay, and it mainly exists in aluminum hydroxide minerals (diaspore, boehmite, gibbsite), and it also exists in aluminosilicate minerals (kaolinite, illite montmorillonite, etc.). In general, the content of Al2O3 in soft and semi-soft clay is 30% to 45%, the hard clay is 35% to 50%, and high alumina clay 55% to 70%. Fe2O3 mainly exists in hematite, magnetite, goethite and siderite, and is the main harmful component of refractory clay. There is no evident law on the content of Fe2O3. The content in high alumina clay is 0.5% to 2.2%, hard clay is 0.5% to 2.5%, and the soft clay is generally 1.0% to 2.5%. K2O and Na2O are harmful impurities in refractory clay, which mainly exist in illite and mica and other minerals, and the content varies greatly. CaO and MgO, etc., although they are harmful impurities, but the content is generally small.
