Cement kilns have realized the “reduction, harmlessness, and recycling” disposal of garbage, and achieved good social, environmental, and economic benefits. However, due to the presence of a large number of harmful components such as sulfur, alkali, and chlorine in the garbage, the refractory bricks are easily corroded, peeled off, and damaged in the cement kiln preheater system. At present, aluminum-silicon products such as a series of silica-mullite bricks, anti-stripping high-alumina bricks, and new low-alumina mullite bricks are used in the low-temperature zone of cement rotary kiln. There are obvious differences in raw material selection and physical and chemical properties. The refractory manufacturer Rongsheng compares the alkali erosion resistance of different refractory brick lining products, and combines the microstructure and phase composition analysis to judge the alkali erosion resistance, and then optimize the selection and configuration of cement kiln refractory materials.
Selection of Refractory Bricks for Cement Kiln
Choose Silica mullite Brick 1680, Silica mullite Brick 1550, Anti-stripping High Alumina Brick JA, and Low Alumina Mullite Brick M55.
Contrastive analysis of the appearance of refractory bricks used in cement kiln after erosion test
From the photos of the appearance of the four samples after alkali erosion, it can be seen that silica mullite brick 1680, silica mullite brick 1550, and low alumina mullite brick M55 have no cracks and have excellent alkali erosion resistance. The anti-stripping high alumina brick JA has penetrating large cracks, and its alkali resistance is relatively poor.
Performance Analysis of Refractory Bricks after Erosion Test
(1) Silicon mullite bricks 1680 and Silica Mullite Bricks 1550 are filled with silicon carbide and partially oxidized into silicon dioxide to fill pores, which can significantly reduce alkali erosion and have excellent alkali erosion resistance.
(2) The spalling-resistant high-alumina brick JA has high apparent porosity, and poor alkali corrosion resistance and the alkali corrosion depth reaches 10 mm. A large amount of potashite is generated in the erosion layer, which leads to the cracking of the brick body.
(3) Low-alumina mullite brick M55 has low apparent porosity, and the mullite homogeneous material and andalusite raw material structure used is dense. A certain amount of high-silicon amorphous phase in the matrix can absorb alkali to form a high-viscosity glass phase to further seal the pores. The alkali erosion depth is only 5 mm, and the amount of ka-nepheline produced by alkali erosion is relatively small, which is not enough to destroy the brick structure, and the alkali erosion resistance is relatively good.
Aluminum-Silicon-Based Refractory and Thermal Insulation Materials for Cement Kilns (AL2O3-SiO2-based)
In addition, aluminum-silicon-based refractory insulation materials for cement kilns have special technical requirements in addition to clay bricks and high-alumina bricks commonly used. It is important to be resistant to wear and changes in ambient temperature. Therefore, a series of special high-alumina bricks have been developed and designed, such as phosphate-bonded high-alumina bricks, phosphate-bonded high-alumina wear-resistant bricks, anti-stripping high-alumina bricks, and alkali-resistant semi-acid clay bricks.
