Due to the water solubility of Magnesia-Chrome bricks, the hexavalent chromium ion (Cr 6+) present in these bricks has been reported for use from rotary cement kilns. Magnesia-Chrome bricks are being replaced with chrome-free brick mainly of magnesia-spinel type. So, the aim of the present study is to develop new Cr-free brick with the addition of TiO 2. All of properties such as bulk density, apparent porosity, cold crashing strength, modulus of rupture strength, hot modulus of rupture strength and refractoriness under load are measured on the basis of Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). Also, the coating test and corrosion resistance were carried out against raw cement meal. Microstructural analysis and phase identification had been done by scanning electron microscopy, which is equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDS), also, mineral phases present in the sample were determined by using X-Ray diffraction. According to the result spinel phases such as magnesiaaluminate and magnesia-titanate as a main phase is formed as well as other lateral phases which have promoted the properties and microstructure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
