Preparation of Al₂O₃-SiC Composite Powder by Carbothermal Reduction of Coal Gangue and its Influence on Properties of Blast Furnace Stemming

Abstract:

Al₂O₃-SiC composite powders are prepared by carbothermal reduction method using coal gangue as raw material and carbonaceous materials (such as coke, anthracite, and carbon black) as reducing agents. The optimum conditions are as follows: when the addition of coke or anthracite is 50%, the temperature is at 1600 °C for 5 h, and adding 50% carbon black’s best temperature is at 1600 °C for 4 h. Based on the formula of stemming used in an iron and steel factory, Al₂O₃-SiC-C series blast furnace stemming refractory was prepared by adding Al₂O₃-SiC composite powder. The results show that the addition of Al₂O₃-SiC composite powders has a positive influence on the apparent porosity, volume density, and bending strength of the refractory. The effect of the amount of Al₂O₃-SiC composite powder on the slag corrosion resistance of the blast furnace stemming refractory was also studied by the static crucible method.
