Chromium-zirconium Corundum Refractory Castable Becomes A New-generation Melting Furnace High-temperature Zone Environmentally Friendly Furnace Lining

In the oxidizing atmosphere melting furnace, the lining mainly consists of chrome corundum refractory castables. However, the high temperature zone in the furnace has a temperature of up to 2000 °C. With the recognition of environmental hazards caused by the high temperature of Cr2O3, and the traditional chrome corundum Refractory castables cannot meet the longevity requirements of kiln because of their poor thermal shock resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a refractory castable product with low chrome and thermal shock resistance. Chromium zirconium refractory castable 1. Performance characteristics of chrome-zirconium corundum refractory castable The chromium zirconium corundum refractory castable is a proportion of zirconia fine powder added to the chrome corundum refractory castable. Although the chromium content of this refractory castable is greatly reduced, the addition of zirconia does not affect the slag corrosion resistance of the material. On the contrary, since the melting point temperature of zirconium is very high, it is 2700 °C. At the same time, the zirconia material itself is not oxidized and has a high density. The cost is also much lower than that of chrome corundum refractory castables. Therefore, the chrome-zirconium corundum refractory castable has the characteristics of high temperature chemical stability, high load softening temperature, slag corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance and no pollution. 2. Application of chrome-zirconium corundum refractory castable The chromium zirconium corundum refractory castable is mainly used in the high temperature region of the oxidizing atmosphere melting furnace because of its excellent high temperature corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance, for example, the slag portion of the gasification melting furnace. Conclusion The chrome-zirconium corundum refractory castable has become the low-chromium refractory castable with the highest application rate in the high temperature region of the domestic oxidizing atmosphere melting furnace. The application of the refractory castable not only has superiority in high temperature performance, but also relatively high cost performance. Industrial change ideas for low chrome in high temperature furnaces. It is a green economy high temperature refractory castable.

Refractories: US-China uncertainty overshadows refractory supply chains at UNITECR 2019

Despite a devastating typhoon, 859 participants from 41 countries gathered this month atUNITECR (the Unified International Technical Conference of Refractories) in Yokohama, Japan – a biennial international conference to discuss current trends in the refractories industry. Delegates discussed how strengthening Chinese environmental regulations, rising Chinese production costs, and high raw material prices continue to have an impact on the world refractories industry. Some of the most important industrial minerals for use in refractories are graphite, alumina and magnesia – which have also been some of the materials most dramatically affected by price rises in recent years. China remains the largest producer of refractories and is expected to account for more than two thirds of a global output of 37.3Mt in 2019. It is also the largest supplier of refractory raw materials for its own consumption as well as for export. Delegates at the conference reported concerns about the lack of certainty around Chinese plans for next year and even for the next decade. Continued trade tensions between the USA and China are adding to the lack of certainty Chinese delegates are feeling in their domestic markets. US and Chinese negotiators are currently working to complete a text for the agreements for US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to sign at an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Chile 16th to 17th November 2019, but deep differences in the two countries’ economic models mean their trading relations are likely to be unstable for years to come. Roskill View Prices for refractory minerals, including graphite, alumina and magnesia, increased from mid-2017 through 2018 as a result of Chinese production plant closures (as well as rising demand from non-refractory applications – in particular, there was strong growth for graphite in the lithium-ion battery industry). Refractory producers began to increase purchases and build stockpiles to guard against further price rises and the possibility of supply shortages. Price rises slowed though H2 2018 and H1 2019 and in some cases have reversed, but prices for most of the refractory raw materials remain far higher than they were in the mid-2010s. China is expected to continue its programme of environmental inspections and the closure of plants that fail to meet standards across all industrial sectors, especially in the lead-up to 2021 – the year which marks the first of China’s “two centenary goals” which represent the 100th anniversaries of both the CCP and the People’s Republic of China – goals which were made by the 18th Party Congress in 2012, the same Party Congress that saw Xi Jinping assume his leadership position. A new round of environmental inspections was confirmed this October and China will soon begin dispatching teams of inspectors in the coming months. Roskill’s research in China suggests that the government believes environmental protection will improve economic development. Many Chinese companies in the refractories supply chains are reporting higher profits since environmental inspections improved their processes, especially at the loss-making state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Roskill’s in-house forecasts expect Chinese crude steel production to remain flat between 2019 and 2021 at around 975Mt before declining by 0.6%py to 2029. World crude steel is expected to see growth of just 0.8%py between 2019 and 2029, resulting in a flat forecast for concomitant global refractory output.
