To make use of chromium slag waste, this study examined the technology of the preparation of MgAl2O4 spinel refractory raw material by using chromium slag. The results showed that (1) using the traditional sintering process of synthetic spinel, the highest volume density was 3.14 g/cm3 and the lowest porosity rate was 9.16 %. With the increase of the proportion of MgO powder mixing, bulk density and porosity fluctuations, and which cannot meet the requirements of refractory raw materials. (2) For MgAl2O4 spinel prepared by the electric-melting process, the highest volume density was 3.27 g/cm3 and the lowest porosity rate was 8.78 %. Volume density and the porosity remained stable, and they are affected by MgO powder thus the blending ratio is very small, which can satisfy the requirements of refractory raw materials. (3) MgAl2O4 spinel prepared by the electric-melting method is superior to traditional MgAl2O4 spinel in terms of slag resistance and thermal shock resistance.
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.
