How To Manufacture High Alumina Insulation Brick By Gas Generating Method

High alumina insulating bricks are also known as high alumina heat insulating bricks. It is the ideal insulation refractory material for industrial furnaces. It is characterized with high strength, low thermal conductivity, good insulation performance and low price.
It is a new type of lightweight insulating material which contains approximately 48% alumina,mullite and glass phase or corundum. It has such advantages as high porosity, small volume density, good insulation effect, high mechanical intensity, small thermal conductivity and long service life. For various industrial kilns & furnaces, it is a kind of essential refractory for energy saving and temperature preservation.
High alumina insulation brick is made by mud pouring method. The mud contains about 50% water. By adding a small amount of gypsum, the mud will quickly be solidified. An appropriate amount of phosphoric acid is added. The ratio of the dry raw materials and the phosphoric acid is controled within 1:0.7. Chemical reactions produce CO2. The reason why use phosphoric acid instead of hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid is that the the phosphoric acid can increase the duration time of bubbles and enhance the structural strength of semi-finished products.
Since CO2 will be produced in the mud, the embryoid bodies should be removed after two hours to ensure that embryoid bodies become strong. Embryoid bodies should be dried for three days at a temperature of 60 ℃. The final step is firing. The semi-finished products should be fired at a temperature of 1600 degrees for about 4 days.
High Alumina Insulating Brick is widely used in lining or insulating layers of various industrial furnaces, and kilns in petrochemical, machinery, ceramic industry, such as lining and insulating layer of high temperature kilns, carbon black stove, gasifier, hydrogen manufacturing furnace and shuttle kiln, etc.
Zhengzhou sunrise refractory Co., Ltd. is a refractory supplier from China, offering various insulation bricks, such as high alumina insulation brick, fire clay insulation brick, silica insulation brick and mullite insulation brick.

What is Ceramic Fiber Bulk?

Ceramic fiber bulk is an excellent inorganic non-metallic material with various types and advantages of good insulation, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength.
Ceramic fiber bulk is made of glass balls or waste glass by melting, drawing, winding and weaving. The diameter of the monofilament is several microns to twenty microns, equivalent of 1/20-1/5 of a single human hair. Each bundle of fiber precursor is composed of hundreds or even thousands of monofilaments.
Ceramic fiber bulk has good insulation performance. According to the physical principle, gas has low thermal conductivity, so excellent insulation materials usually have many air holes inside them. Ceramic fiber bulk has many air holes inside it and its fibers are in irregular arrangement, so it is an excellent insulation material with a low thermal conductivity of 0.03w/cm.k.
Ceramic fiber bulk has advantages of noncombustible, no distortion and no embrittlement. It can resist high temperature up to 700 degrees and has A1 level of combustion performance.
Ceramic fiber bulk has good corrosive resistance to strong acid and good recoverability. It has high tensile strength, more than 1.0kg, so it can resist any shock and vibration. It has low moisture absorption rate, close to zero.
Ceramic fiber bulk does not contain any bonding agent and has no smell and no toxic. Compared with the traditional glass wool and rock wool, it does not contain any bonding agent and will not give off any toxic, acrid smoke at high temperature.
Ceramic fiber bulk is usually used in the interior compartments and ceilings of advanced buildings and for the insulation of metal duct or the inner walls of bellows, noise absorption within the room and sweat control of metal ceilings.

Refractory Application in the Walls of Glass Furnace Regenerators

In the glass furnace, walls of the regenerators are used to limit thermal losses. The main operating factors to be considered are temperature, repeated temperature cycling, airborne particulates, volatiles and load. Fuel and glass composition must also be considered when deriving the refractory specifications.
The walls in four zones as with checkers are subjected to different conditions:
1) Top zone: from the crown skewbacks to one meter under first row of checkers;
2) Mid zone: from the end of the top zone to 1,000°C;
3) Condensation zone: from 1,000°C to 700°C;
4) Lower zone: from 700°C to the Bottom.
The operating conditions are the same as for the crown but with minor load. Low iron basic refractories with a high periclase content and high grade mullite (95-97 percent mullite) are suitable for this area. As far as basic refractories are concerned the operating temperature must be under 1,500°C (1,460-1,480°C) to avoid creep.
Provided the target wall is exposed to the same conditions as the other top zone walls, then the refractory material will be as for the rest of the top zone. However, in the event the target wall is subject to excessive waste gas impingement then fused cast AZS block is recommended.
Checkers protect the mid zone wall. Temperature and load are lower compared to the top area, thus basic refractories with 95 per cent MgO or a good mullite are suitable for this area.
Chemical corrosion is not as strong as in the checkers because bricks are protected by the masonry and only one side is exposed to the chemical attack. Load is higher than on the overhung zones, but temperature is lower. Periclase based refractories, mullite and sillimanite bricks are suitable for this application.
Characteristics of this area are: high load, low temperature and a reduced chemical attack. Basic materials with 90-92 percent MgO, mullite, sillimanite and 44 per cent Al2O3 “super duty” are suitable for this application.
The internal separation walls are fully immersed in the high temperature environment and therefore the operating conditions are severe. They must resist loading at high temperature, and thus they must have high values of refractoriness under load and therefore high creep resistance.
Basic materials are suitable within the temperature limits indicated in the top zone (1,460-1,480°C), while different grades of mullite according to the different zones of the separation wall can be used.
Zhengzhou sunrise refractory Co., Ltd. is a refractory supplier from China, specializing in various refractories for glass furnaces, such as fused cast AZS block, magnesia bricks, silica brick and mullite bricks.
