Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refractory performance testing, in particular to a multi-component atmosphere erosion resistance reaction device for refractory and a test method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Hydrogen metallurgy process is a steel smelting technology that uses hydrogen (H2) instead of traditional fossil fuels (such as coke) as a reducing agent and energy carrier. The core goal is to achieve deep decarburization in steel production through "hydrogen instead of carbon" (theoretically reducing CO2 emissions by 80-90%), which is an important measure to achieve the "double carbon target". Currently, the rich hydrogen smelting technology is mainly used, that is, H2, CO and a small amount of methane are used to reduce iron ore. Compared with traditional blast furnace-coking ironmaking, the atmosphere is more complex and contains a certain amount of H2O, which seriously erodes and damages cement-bonded, carbon-containing, and silicon carbide refractories.
[0003] In waste incinerators, coal-to-gas equipment and other high-temperature industrial furnaces, the lining refractories are exposed to a harsh environment of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and water vapor for a long time. These gases have strong penetration and erosion effects on the lining refractories of the furnace under high temperature and high pressure conditions, significantly shortening their service life.
[0004] Currently, the conventional test methods for the atmosphere erosion resistance of refractories in the industry mainly include liquid immersion and heating furnace combustion simulation. The liquid immersion method involves immersing the refractory sample in an acidic solution for a certain period of time, and then testing the volume density or strength loss rate. However, this test method has a large gap with the actual working conditions. The erosion medium in the actual working conditions is high-temperature gas, which has a large molecular kinetic energy, strong penetration, and a much higher reaction activity with the material surface than liquid acid. In addition, the actual working conditions often involve high system pressure, which further exacerbates the penetration and erosion process of the gas. The existing liquid phase method cannot simulate the dynamic erosion environment of high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous medium, resulting in test results that cannot truly reflect the performance of the refractory in actual use. In the heating furnace combustion simulation test, the existing integral container cannot simultaneously compare multiple-component atmospheres horizontally, and it cannot form a simulated site for the refractory. The refractory samples produced have low consistency with the actual application, making it difficult to accurately and efficiently test the erosion resistance of the refractory in actual working conditions.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a multi-component atmosphere erosion resistance reaction device for refractory and a test method thereof. SUMMARY

[0029] External fitting 8 is used to introduce and discharge different reaction media into the reaction chamber and to control the pressure inside.
[0030] A test method for a refractory material resistance reaction device to multi-component atmosphere erosion includes the following steps: S1: Assemble the cylindrical panels 2 into a cylinder, and install the corresponding partition plates 7 and sealing strips 11 to form a multi-cavity structure; S2: After uniformly applying grease to the inner wall of the cylindrical panel 2 and the partition plate 7, prepare unshaped refractory materials or embed shaped refractory product samples in the multi-cavity structure by pouring, spraying, tamping or bonding.

S5: After the reaction has been going on for a period of time, nitrogen or inert gas is introduced to remove the reaction gas from the cylindrical container 1. The container is then cooled to room temperature. The cylindrical container 1 is disassembled, and the refractory materials of each chamber are removed. The reaction depth, apparent porosity, pore size or strength of the refractory materials in each chamber are tested and compared to analyze the erosion resistance of the refractory materials in various gases and their combinations.
[0031] Example 1: like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention discloses a refractory material resistant to multi-component atmosphere erosion reaction device, comprising a cylindrical container 1 made of CH2132 heat-resistant steel, with a diameter of 450 mm and a height of 300 mm; the cylindrical container 1 is composed of four fan-shaped cylindrical panels 2, each panel being 8 mm thick; adjacent cylindrical panels 2 are connected by an Ω-shaped tenon and mortise interlocking structure; the cylindrical container 1 has external threads at its upper and lower ends; two end caps 3 have 20 mm long internal threads on their inner walls for connection with the external threads at the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical container 1; the inner surface of the cylindrical container 1 is coated with a high-temperature alumina coating; the inner edges of the cylindrical panels 2 extend along their length towards the center. A first baffle 4 extends along the axis of the cylindrical container 1. The first baffles 4 of two adjacent cylindrical panels 2 are joined together to form a slot 5. Second baffles 6 extend from the arcs at both ends of the cylindrical panels 2 toward the center. The two first baffles 4 and the two second baffles 6 together form a sample space for accommodating refractory material samples. A platinum sheet-like partition 7, 1 mm thick, can be inserted into the slot 5 to divide the internal space of the cylindrical container 1 into multiple independent reaction chambers. An external pipe 8 is connected to the end cap 3 and is used to introduce and discharge different reaction media into the four independent reaction chambers divided by the partition 7 inside the cylindrical container 1 and to control the pressure within them.
[0032] After applying grease to the inner walls of the four reaction chambers, a 20mm thick layer of low-cement corundum castable was poured into each chamber. After solidification, the prepared corundum mullite brick test blocks were bonded and embedded into the low-cement corundum castable using corundum putty. The corundum mullite test blocks were 65mm*65mm*114mm in size, with a square cross-section embedded in the low-cement castable, and the length direction pointing towards the axis of the cylindrical container 1. The corundum putty and corundum mullite bricks used for embedding were of uniform height, so that the corundum mullite bricks were flush with the upper surface of the corundum putty. Three test blocks were embedded in each chamber. After curing and drying, the next step of the experiment was carried out.
[0033] After inserting the partition plate 7 into the slot 5, assemble the cylindrical container 1 and place it in the tube furnace. Heat at a rate of 10℃ / min until it reaches 1000℃ and holds. While heating, evacuate the furnace, then introduce nitrogen into the four chambers, evacuate again, and introduce nitrogen again, maintaining the pressure until the holding temperature is reached. Then, introduce H2, CO, high-temperature water vapor, and a mixture of H2, CO, and high-temperature water vapor into each chamber respectively until the pressure reaches 0.7 MPa. Hold for 200 hours, then turn off the power to the tube furnace and switch the gas source to nitrogen. After purging with nitrogen for 30 minutes, turn off the gas source and allow the furnace to cool to room temperature.
[0034] Disassemble cylindrical container 1, remove the corundum-mullite brick specimen, and cut the specimen into two pieces (32mm × 65mm × 114mm) along the centerline. Measure the reaction layer depth of each chamber specimen and record the crack condition. Along the centerline of the cross-section, prepare a 20mm × 20mm × 20mm cube specimen every 10mm for apparent porosity testing. After drying, conduct a compressive strength test. Evaluate its resistance to erosion in reducing atmosphere based on changes in reaction layer depth, cracks, porosity, and compressive strength. Based on the performance characterization under different atmospheres, targeted improvements can be made to enhance the material's properties.

A first baffle 4 is provided at the position extension, and the first baffle 4 of two adjacent cylindrical panels 2 are spliced together to form a slot 5; a second baffle 6 is provided at the two ends of the cylindrical panel 2 extending towards the center position in the arc direction, and the two first baffles 4 and the two second baffles 6 together form a sample space for accommodating refractory material samples; a quartz partition plate 7 can be inserted into the slot 5 to divide the internal space of the cylindrical container 1 into two independent reaction chambers; an external pipe 8 is connected to the end cap 3 and is used to introduce and discharge high temperature HCl, high temperature water vapor and HCl mixed gas into the two independent reaction chambers divided by the partition plate 7 in the cylindrical container 1 respectively; acid-resistant sprayed refractory material is installed in the sample space by spraying.
[0036] During the test, the inner walls of the two reaction chambers were coated with grease, and then a layer of flue acid-resistant coating with a thickness of about 100mm was sprayed on. After the surface was repaired, cured and dried, the next step of the test was carried out.
[0037] After inserting the partition plate 7 into the slot 5, assemble the cylindrical container 1 and place it in a tube furnace. Heat it at a rate of 10℃ / min until it reaches 600℃ and hold it thereafter. Then, introduce HCl, high-temperature water vapor, and HCl gas into the two chambers respectively until the pressure reaches 0.15 MPa. Hold the temperature for 50 hours, turn off the power to the tube furnace, and switch the gas source to argon. After 15 minutes, turn off the gas source and allow the furnace to cool to room temperature.
[0038] Disassemble cylindrical container 1, remove the acid-resistant coating sample block from the flue, and cut the sample into two identical pieces along the centerline of its length. Measure the reaction layer depth of each chamber sample and record the crack condition. Along the centerline of the cross-section, prepare cylindrical samples with a diameter of 20 mm and a height of 20 mm every 10 mm for apparent porosity testing. After repeated washing and drying, perform a compressive strength test and simultaneously test the pore size distribution at this location.
