Effect of Boric Acid on the Properties of Magnesium Slag Powder

Abstract:

This paper studies about the boric acid affect on magnesium slag powder properties. The certain content of 0.05% to 3.0%(weight ratio) boric acid and magnesium slag was sufficiently mixed, the mixed powder is putted into a 20 × 20 × 20mm mold, and using 13 tf pressure to press the powder. The molded sample was placed in a muffle furnace, sintering at different temperatures (1000 °C ~ 1200 °C) and different holding times (1h ~ 6h), when holding time is reached, the sample was cooled naturally. Samples were analyzed. The sintered samples using XRD to study phase analysis and using EDS to research elemental composition and doing SEM for microstructure analysis. The results showed that: the main components of magnesium slag CaO, MgO, Fe₂O₃, Al2O3, β-C2S, γ-C2S and so on. Magnesium slag with certain content of boric acid, with the sintering temperature, the acid content and the holding time increases, the conversion rate of the β-dicalcium silicate change into γ-dicalcium silicate in magnesium slag is decreases. Without adding boric acid the suppress square material magnesium slags are mess into powder, magnesium slag joined with certain content of boric acid still be a square material, and suppression of the sample becomes more dense.
