Q & A

Recycling or disposing of refractory materials presents several challenges and considerations. Firstly, refractory materials are designed to withstand high temperatures and are often made of complex compositions, which makes them difficult to break down and recycle. Additionally, these materials may contain hazardous substances like heavy metals or asbestos, requiring careful handling and disposal to prevent environmental and health risks. Furthermore, the collection and transportation of refractory materials can be costly due to their heavy and bulky nature. Lastly, the lack of standardized recycling processes and limited infrastructure for refractory material recycling pose significant challenges in finding appropriate recycling or disposal methods.

Potassium silicate acts as a binder and flux in refractory materials, helping to improve their strength, stability, and resistance to high temperatures. It promotes the formation of a glassy phase, which enhances the bonding between refractory particles and increases the material's resistance to corrosion and erosion. Additionally, potassium silicate can also aid in reducing porosity and increasing the density of refractory materials, making them more effective in withstanding extreme thermal conditions.

The raw materials used in the production of refractory cements typically include alumina, silica, calcium aluminate, and other additives.

The addition of feldspar can significantly affect the sintering behavior of refractories. Feldspar is a fluxing agent that lowers the melting point of the refractory material, promoting the formation of a liquid phase during sintering. This liquid phase enhances the bonding between refractory particles, resulting in improved densification and reduced porosity. Additionally, feldspar can react with other components in the refractory, such as quartz or alumina, to form new crystalline phases that contribute to the overall strength and stability of the sintered refractory. Therefore, the addition of feldspar can enhance the sintering process, leading to improved mechanical properties and enhanced resistance to thermal shocks in refractory materials.
