Abstract

Abstract: To broaden the application of SiO₂ sol-bonded castables, using micro- or nano-Al₂O₃ powder and SiO₂ gel powder as the main raw materials, the effects of CaO impurity on the formation of mullite by the reaction of Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ at different temperatures (1 350, 1 400, 1 500, and 1 600 ℃) in different atmospheres (oxidation atmosphere and reduction atmosphere) were studied. The results show that in the oxidizing atmosphere, the introduction of CaO can promote the formation of mullite. When the temperature increases from 1 350 ℃ to 1 600 ℃, the amount of mullite formed gradually increases. In the reducing atmosphere, the introduction of CaO is not conducive to the formation of mullite, and the amount of mullite decreases with the increasing temperature. The smaller the particle size of Al₂O₃, the more easily it reacts with SiO₂ gel powder to form mullite.

Key words: CaO, mullite, atmosphere, temperature, particle size
