This invention discloses a method for preparing silica checker bricks for high-density, low-
porosity hot blast stoves, belonging to the field of
refractory material preparation technology. The method includes the following steps:
raw material selection and pretreatment, optimizing the
particle size distribution of silica sand (coarse particles ≤5%, medium particles 70-80%,
fine powder 15-20%), and introducing silica
brick sand particles and silica
fine powder to achieve close packing; batching and mixing, adding mineralizers,
fluorite powder, binders, and high-efficiency water-reducing agents in proportion, and mixing until uniform through a specific feeding sequence; semi-
dry pressing, using double-sided pressing technology to control the apparent
porosity of the
brick blank to ≤19.0% and the
bulk density to ≥2.10 g / cm³; after
drying, using a segmented firing regime, holding at 1420-1450℃ for 18-36 hours to promote the conversion of
cristobalite to tridymite, with a residual
quartz content ≤1.0%. This invention achieves
high density, low
porosity, high volume stability, and excellent high-temperature performance of the
brick body through particle size optimization, composite additives, and precise firing control.
