Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new materials technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a method for detoxifying chromium corundum and producing refractory bricks. Background Technology

Its high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance are irreplaceable by traditional alumina and magnesium oxide materials. At the same time, chromium corundum refractories are irreplaceable in many industries that require refractory materials.

[0003] However, since chromium corundum contains a small amount of toxic and harmful hexavalent chromium, it is prone to environmental pollution. According to the latest national hazardous waste management system, chromium corundum is classified as hazardous waste. Now, there is a need for a technical solution that can harmlessly treat chromium corundum and transform it into usable materials to ensure that chromium corundum has more environmentally friendly and safe properties.

[0063] The corrosion resistance of the refractory bricks prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 was tested. The method involved immersing sampled bricks in 10% hydrogen chloride solution, 10% sodium hydroxide solution, 10% sodium chloride solution, and 10% sodium sulfate solution, respectively, for 8 months. After immersion, their strength was tested. The corrosion coefficient was calculated as: strength of the corroded brick / strength after immersion in water at the same age. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0064] Table 1

[0065]

[0066] As can be seen from Table 1, in Example 4, the corrosion resistance of the chromium corundum was improved by surface nickel plating, which improved the corrosion resistance of the chromium corundum. The corrosion resistance of the refractory bricks obtained in the end was improved compared with that in Examples 1-3. In Example 5, in addition to the addition of nano-hexagonal boron nitride and nano-silica, nano-hexagonal boron nitride and nano-silica were added to further improve the overall corrosion resistance of the refractory bricks. The corrosion resistance of the refractory bricks obtained in the end was significantly improved compared with that in Examples 1-3. In Comparative Example 1, only nano-hexagonal boron nitride and nano-silica were added. The corrosion resistance of the refractory bricks was also improved, but the effect was not significant.

[0067] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details.
