A kind of production method of high-purity magnesium-aluminum spinel
Technical field
The present invention relates to the production method of the high-quality refractory material on a kind of various Thermal Equipments that are widely used in industries such as metallurgy, cement, glass, pottery, relate in particular to a kind of production method of magnesium-aluminium spinel.
Background technology
Along with the development of continuous casting of iron and steel and furnace outer refining technology, the part refining process is transferred to the ladle from steel melting furnace and is carried out, and this just makes ladle be not only the elevated temperature vessel that stores molten steel, and becomes a kind of special metallurgy equipment.At present lining material in the ladle mainly is a magnesium-aluminium spinel, and magnesium-aluminium spinel is big because of fusing point height, hardness, heat-shock resistance and the excellent refractories industry that is widely used in of anti-scouring.But the content of magnesium aluminate spinel in natural minerals is especially few, so magnesium aluminate spinel all is by containing Al

3) and MgO manually synthetic.Owing to be subjected to the limitation of the technology of sintering equipment, the product firing temperature generally about 1600-1800 ℃, needs the long solid phase reaction time usually, thus bring the energy consumption height, yield poorly, the problems such as labor productivity is low, quality stability difference.Produce one of raw materials used α-Al for high-purity magnesium-aluminum spinel

3(commercial alumina), reheating magnesia are raw material, and the introducing by grinding aid improves the Raw material processing fineness, adopt superhigh temperature, firing process fast again, and not only quality is good for the product of producing, cost is low, and more meet national energy-saving and reduce discharging policy.
In recent years, people are doing a lot of research work aspect the exploitation of magnesium-aluminium spinel, as application number is 01115504.3, and name is called the patented technology of " synthetic MgAl spinal and preparation method thereof ", adopts alumine and light-burning magnesium powder 1430-1600 ℃ of calcining 100-130 hour.The patent No. be ZL88106918.3's " method of synthetic MgAl spinal ", adopting high grade bauxite raw material and light calcined magnesia is raw material, high temperature burns till.But because above two kinds of methods are all synthetic with natural material, the magnesium aluminate spinel impurity content that is synthesized is higher, affects the high-temperature behavior of material.
Application number is 200510018154.4 " a kind of fireproof magnesia alumina spinel materials and production method thereof ", adopts γ-Al
2O
3With light-burned MgO be raw material, under 1600-1800 ℃ of temperature, burn till because light-burned MgO very easily is hydrolyzed, generate Mg (OH) after the hydrolysis
2, need to slowly heat, just can burn till for a long time, in sintering process, temperature is grasped bad a little, and is slightly fast such as temperature rise, will explosion.Therefore, adopt light-burned MgO to be only applicable to burn till at a slow speed, production capacity is difficult to improve; In addition, the γ-Al in the raw material
2O
3With light-burned MgO interim Mg (OH) that generates in sintering process
2, in material structure, can take certain space, make volumetric expansion, after the crystallization water decomposed fully, the space of expansion was irrecoverable, caused residual clearance between tissue, lowered the compactness of material.The heat resistanceheat resistant that finally can the have influence on finished product indexs such as performance, thermal expansivity of shaking.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to above problem, provide a kind of, thereby the space in the tissue of back is burnt till in minimizing, makes the principal crystalline phase of material even, compactness is good, and then increase substantially the production method of the high-purity magnesium-aluminum spinel of product quality by the change material prescription.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: by weight percentage with γ-Al of 50~95%
2O
3Mix with 50~5% reheating MgO; Through extra-fine grinding, mechanical classification; Again through balling-up, shaping, oven dry; At last, by ultra-high temperature shaft kiln, in 1820~1930 ℃ temperature range, calcine and formed in 8~20 hours.

Be that 0.1~10 μ m mixed powder is inserted in the nodulizer with the fineness that makes, add bond, water, the water addition is 12~25%, and being processed into diameter is the ball base of 15~35mm, and ball base density is 1.5~2.5g/cm

The present invention has changed in the prior art with γ-Al
2O
3With light-burned MgO high-pressure molding, " fast " calcining, make relative density and be the technology of 94~96% magnesium aluminate spinel; Adopt reheating MgO to replace light-burned MgO, it is not high to have overcome in the prior art material density, the problem that production capacity is low.The difference of reheating MgO and light-burned MgO maximum is the active big facile hydrolysis of light-burned MgO, the easy explosion of base substrate in sintering procedure, and material density is not high, the problem that process reliability is bad.In order to improve the density of product, the existing technology that contains light-burned MgO need adopt high-pressure molding, makes that difficulty of processing increases, working (machining) efficiency reduces; Even adopted high-pressure molding,, also be difficult to obtain the product of high-compactness owing to the hydrolysis properties of light-burned MgO.Make about 1800 ℃ and heavily burn MgO, the density of therefore heavily burning the MgO raw material is higher, foreign matter content is relatively low, utilizes its synthetic spinel just not to be prone to the problem of base substrate explosion.In order to adapt to the temperature profile of heavily burning MgO, the present invention is set in the processing temperature of synthetic spinel in 1820~1930 ℃ the temperature range, has satisfied the synthetic processing condition, has guaranteed the synthetic effect.The magnesium-aluminium spinel that the present invention makes has the fusing point height, and thermal expansivity is low, good heat conductivity, characteristics such as chemical resistance of concrete is strong.
