The invention relates to an
alumina-based
corundum mullite hollow sphere with a gradient structure and a preparation method of the
alumina-based
corundum mullite hollow sphere, and belongs to the field of heat-insulating
refractory materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out mineral separation and grading homogenization on high-
alumina bauxite, then uniformly mixing III-grade high-alumina
bauxite, silica, a mixed additive and an organic binding agent according to a certain
mass percent, and carrying out
granulation; the preparation method comprises the following steps: by taking spherical particles as cores, sequentially wrapping II-grade high-alumina
bauxite and I-grade high-alumina bauxite under the rotation of a pelletizer, so as to obtain heterogeneous spherical particle blanks rich in SiO2 inside; and calcining at high temperature to finally obtain the
corundum mullite hollow sphere with the gradient structure. The
refractory hollow sphere is subjected to gradient structure design through a combined process of grading homogenization,
coating forming and high-temperature
calcination in-situ pore forming of high-alumina bauxite, phase performance characteristics of corundum and mullite are fully utilized, and the
refractory hollow sphere which is low in heat
conductivity coefficient, good in
erosion resistance, high in use temperature and excellent in
thermal shock resistance is developed.
