Composition and performance of ramming material for glass kiln

Unshaped refractory material constructed by ramming (manual or mechanical) method and hardened under the action of heating above normal temperature. It is composed of refractory aggregate with certain gradation, powder, binder, admixture, added with water or other The liquid is made by mixing. According to the material, there are high alumina, clay, magnesia, dolomite and zirconium ramming materials.

(1) Composition

According to the needs of use, it can be prepared from refractory aggregates and powders of various materialsramming material.At the same time, according to the refractory aggregate material and use requirements, select the appropriate binder. Some ramming materials do not need binders but only add a small amount of flux to promote their sintering. Sodium silicate and ethyl silicate are commonly used in acidic ramming materials. and silica gel as binders. Alkaline ramming materials use aqueous solutions such as magnesium chloride and sulfate, as well as phosphates and their polymers as binders. They are also often used with higher carbon content and form carbon-bonded organic substances at high temperatures. And temporary binders. Glauber's salt is commonly used as a binder for chromium ramming materials. Phosphate and aluminum phosphates, sulfates, chlorides and other inorganic substances are often used as binders for high-alumina and corundum ramming materials. When phosphoric acid is selected When used as a binder, during the storage process, phosphoric acid reacts with activated alumina in the ramming material to form water-insoluble aluminum orthophosphate precipitation and coagulate and harden. It is difficult to construct after losing plasticity. Therefore, it is necessary to prolong the shelf life of the ramming material. , An appropriate preservative must be added to prevent or delay the occurrence of coagulation and hardening, usually oxalic acid is used as a preservative.

(2) Performance

Usually, the ramming material is mainly used for the parts that are in direct contact with the molten material. It is required that the refractory material must have good volume stability, compactness and erosion resistance, so high-temperature sintering or electrofusion raw materials are generally used. It is related to the construction method of the part used. Generally, the critical particle size is 8mm. Most of the ramming materials have low strength at room temperature before sintering, and some are not high in strength at medium temperature. Only when they reach sintering during heating can they obtain good bonding. The refractory performance and corrosion resistance of the ramming material can be obtained through the selection of high-quality raw materials, adjusting the reasonable ratio and careful construction. In addition to the high stability and corrosion resistance of the ramming material at high temperatures, its service life To a large extent also depends on the baking quality before use or the sintering quality in the second use. If the heating surface is sintered as a whole, without cracks and without separation from the bottom layer, the service life can be improved.

(3) Ramming materials used in glass furnaces

①The composition of zircon sand ramming material is percentage (mass): Zr0262, Si0232, A12032, Fe2030.5, the bulk density is greater than 3g\/cm3, the refractoriness is above 1790 degrees Celsius, and the particle size is 0.5mm. The binding agent is orthophosphoric acid and The aluminum 2 hydrogen phosphate made of aluminum hydroxide has strong adhesion, high strength and high temperature resistance, but it is easy to air dry and hard, and should not be stored for a long time. It is corrosive to the skin and inconvenient to use.

②Zirconium corundum ramming material (the French brand is ERSOL) commonly used AZS brick waste as refractory material. The composition of the ramming material is (percentage): A120348, Zr0230, Si0220, crystal phase is -Al203, mullite, baddeleyite zircon , glass phase, particle size is 5mm. When using, only need to add water to stir, bulk density is 3.2g\/cm3, porosity is 12%, the tendency of precipitation of bubbles is weak, and the corrosion resistance of glass liquid is very strong at 1400 degrees Celsius. It can also be used for sealing layer and mud slurry.

③Low shrinkage AZSC ramming material It is a certain amount of chromium-containing material introduced into the basic composition of AZS, the bulk density is greater than 2.9g\/cm3, the reburning line shrinkage (1400 degrees Celsius, 3h) is less than 0.2%, and the corrosion resistance of glass liquid is It is better than the above two kinds of ramming materials. It can also be used as sealing layer and casting material.
