[0004] The above dry powder making has the following problems: more types of raw materials are needed, the mud content accounts for about 20% of the whole formula, and the mud needs to be dried before dry grinding can be used, and the whole raw material is greatly affected by moisture; the powder after water spray granulation has poor fluidity, and the uneven moisture after drying has a great influence on the pressing performance.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a formula and method for preparing foamed ceramics by dry powder making to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0084] Embodiment 2:

[0085] The raw material composition of scraping slag and perlite of foamed ceramics is as follows:

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] Embodiment three:

[0089] The scraping slag of foamed ceramics was tested, and the following is the experimental table:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] Embodiment 4:

[0093] Based on Example 3, the foamed ceramic formula is further tested, where silicon carbide is selected as the foaming agent. The following is the formula Table 1:

[0094]

[0095] According to the preparation method of Example 1, a preparation experiment was carried out, wherein silicon carbide was selected as the foaming agent, GF-12 and GF-13 were manually screened through a 60-mesh sieve (silicon carbide screened through an 80-mesh sieve), burned into a 3# electric furnace, and fired at a temperature curve of 0-352°C (30min)-1062°C (60min)-1192°C (120min) for 30min, GF-14 and GF-15 were prepared, ball-milled for 25min at a material ball ratio of 400:600, and burned into a 2# electric furnace, and fired at a temperature curve of 0-350°C (30min)-1050°C (60min)-1180°C (120min) for 30min;

[0096] The finished products of GF-12 and GF-13 are as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the pore sizes of GF-12 and GF-13 are uneven, and the bottom of the sample is not completely reacted. According to the formula of GF-12 and GF-13, they are re-fired in the 2# electric furnace. Figure 3 As shown, it was found that the uneven pore size was caused by the electric furnace, and the pore size of GF-12 formula was more uniform;

[0097] The finished products of GF-14 and GF-15 are as follows Figure 2 As shown, it can be seen that the pore sizes of GF-14 and GF-15 are uniform, and the pore size of GF-14 is slightly larger than that of GF-15. However, the content of perlite and scraping slag in the formula is too high, so the formula needs to be changed.

[0098] According to the preparation method of Example 1, a preparation experiment was conducted. Silicon carbide was selected as the foaming agent. The contents of perlite and scraping slag in the formula were reduced to obtain formulas 16 and 17. The raw materials were burned into a 2# electric furnace and kept warm for 30 minutes at a temperature curve of 0-350°C (30min)-1050°C (60min)-1180°C (120min). The following is the formula table 2:

[0099]

[0100] like Figure 4 It can be seen that the pore sizes of GF-16 and GF-17 are relatively uniform, without obvious large pores, and the pores of GF-17 are smaller.

[0101] According to the preparation method of Example 1, a preparation experiment was carried out, wherein silicon carbide was selected as the foaming agent, and the formulations of GF-12 and GF-17 were selected, and the foam was pile-fired in a roller kiln in a workshop, and the mixture was fired at a temperature curve of 0-350°C (30min)-1050°C (60min)-1180°C (120min) for 30min. Figure 5 As shown, the pore size of GF-12 and GF-17 is relatively uniform but too large, and the firing temperature is too low. Some high-temperature materials need to be added to increase the temperature of the formula and reduce its pore size. The formula is adjusted on the basis of GF-12 and GF-17 to obtain GF-18 and GF-19, and then continue to be fired in the roller kiln in the workshop, and the temperature curve of 0-350℃ (30min)-1055℃ (60min)-1185℃ (120min) is kept warm for 30min. The following is the formula table 3:

[0102]

[0103] like Figure 6 It can be seen that the pore size is significantly reduced after adding a certain amount of water-mill tailings, and the most preferred formulas are recorded as GF-18 and GF-19.

[0104] It can be clearly concluded from the above conclusions that the scraped slag can be well mixed with the foaming agent, and foamed ceramics with uniform and fine pore sizes can be well produced by controlling the screen residue of the scraped slag and the amount of the foaming agent.

[0105] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
