Abstract

Abstract:

The development of high-temperature industry is closely related to the development of refractory materials, and the technological progress without exception depends on the research and development of high quality refractories. In the process of preparation and application, refractories are closely related to thermochemical reactions. This paper first briefly reduces the development of refractory, and secondly taking silica brick, synthetic mullite as examples, the thermochemical reactions in the preparation of these refractories are introduced. The thermochemical corrosion reactions of mullite-SiC brick, magnesia-spinel brick and magnesia-carbon brick in service is introduced, and the application of thermochemical simulation in the reactions between refractories and slag/gas is introduced. Taking alumina-carbon filter as an example, the adsorption mechanism of inclusion in its application process is introduced. Finally, the common calcining equipments for refractory are introduced.

Key words: refractory, thermal chemical reaction, corrosion, phase diagram, simulation, calcining equipments
