Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of refractory materials technology, specifically high erosion-resistant corundum bricks and their preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Corundum bricks, due to their excellent properties such as high hardness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and impact resistance, are widely used in the linings and kiln furniture of various high-temperature kilns, including blast furnaces, hot blast stoves, ladle refining furnaces, glass melting furnaces, and petrochemical industrial furnaces. Microporous corundum bricks are made from electrofused dense corundum and electrofused brown corundum as raw materials, with special additives and binders. They are produced using a special microporous manufacturing process, involving molding and high-temperature firing. When used as bricks for ceramic cups in blast furnaces, microporous corundum bricks require good resistance to alkali, slag, and iron erosion.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN118619691A discloses a microporous corundum brick and its preparation method. The microporous structure formed by this method comes partly from the gaps between raw material particles and partly from the pores formed by a small amount of gas generated during the carbonization of modified phenolic resin. This type of microporous structure is random and unstable, and is prone to deformation, merging or collapse under high temperature firing and thermal stress, resulting in limited thermal shock resistance.

It has stable and uniform porous properties, which can block the penetration of corrosive media while ensuring its own strength, thus extending the service life of the corundum brick.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The preparation method of high corrosion-resistant corundum bricks includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Using 4-aminophenol and formaldehyde as monomers, an aminophenolic resin is polymerized. Using the aminophenolic resin as a template, a three-dimensional cross-linked shell is formed by alkaline catalytic deposition. Then, the shell is dissolved by ultrasonication with ethanol to form hollow aminophenolic resin nanospheres.
[0008] Step 2: Using silicon nitride whiskers as a carrier, a silicon nitride whisker composite skeleton is obtained by low-temperature sintering of a polystyrene template and fumed silica as a reinforcing phase.
[0009] Step 3: A functionalized silicon nitride whisker composite framework is obtained by treating the silicon nitride whisker composite framework with 3-glycidyl etheroxypropyltrimethoxysilane; then, hollow nanosphere composite silicon nitride whiskers are prepared by catalyzing the ring-opening of the epoxy groups on the surface of the functionalized silicon nitride whisker composite framework with hollow amino phenolic resin nanospheres.
[0010] Step 4: Mix alumina, sodium carbonate, strontium carbonate, quartz sand, hollow nanosphere composite silicon nitride whiskers and epoxy resin for 10-12 minutes to obtain a mixture; then heat the mixture to 2100-2200℃ in a three-phase electric arc furnace to melt it, pour it into a mold, anneal and cool it to obtain a corundum brick with high corrosion resistance.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0031] 1. The high corrosion-resistant corundum brick prepared by this invention incorporates hollow nanospheres composite silicon nitride whiskers during the preparation process. The hollow amino-modified phenolic resin nanospheres in the hollow nanospheres composite silicon nitride whiskers have hollow channels. During the high-temperature sintering process of the corundum brick, the carbonization and decomposition of the resin further generates uniform micropores / mesopores, forming a hierarchical pore structure of primary pores and derived pores. This results in stable and uniform porous properties, which, while ensuring its own strength, can block the penetration of corrosive media and extend the service life of the corundum brick.
[0032] 2. The chemical essence of the hollow nanosphere composite silicon nitride whiskers of the present invention is an organic-inorganic hybrid network structure in which hollow aminophenolic resin nanospheres and silicon nitride whisker composite skeletons are connected by chemical bonds. Structurally, the aminophenolic resin is dispersed in the network gaps of the silicon nitride whisker skeleton in the form of hollow microspheres. The special structure of hollow nanospheres and silicon nitride whiskers can endow the hollow nanosphere composite silicon nitride whiskers with good porosity and buffering performance, buffer thermal stress, and improve the thermal shock resistance of the final corundum brick.
[0033] 3. The hollow aminophenolic resin nanospheres in the hollow nanosphere composite silicon nitride whiskers of the present invention have hollow channels. During the high-temperature sintering of corundum bricks, the carbonization and decomposition of the resin will further generate uniform micropores / mesopores, forming a hierarchical pore structure of primary pores and derived pores. Furthermore, the three-dimensional cross-linked shell formed by alkaline catalytic deposition using aminophenolic resin as a self-template has a high degree of cross-linking, which leads to the hollow nanosphere composite silicon nitride whiskers being able to indirectly increase the residual carbon content. After carbonization, it can assist epoxy resin in forming a continuous and dense carbon skeleton, which can fill the network gaps of silicon nitride whiskers to form a support structure.
[0034] 4. The silicon nitride whisker composite skeleton of the present invention can serve as a support point for the pores, preventing the channels from collapsing or merging into large pores at high temperatures, thus avoiding defects and maintaining the uniformity and connectivity of the channels. The silicon nitride whiskers themselves have extremely strong chemical stability and are far more resistant to metal slag, glass melt, and acid and alkali corrosive media than the corundum matrix. The composite skeleton forms a continuous corrosion-resistant network inside the corundum brick, directly blocking the penetration path of the corrosive media. Detailed Implementation

[0054] Comparative Example 1: Based on Example 3, the functionalized silicon nitride whisker composite skeleton in step S4 was replaced with the silicon nitride whisker composite skeleton prepared in step S2, while the other steps remained unchanged, and a corundum brick with high corrosion resistance was prepared.
[0055] Comparative Example 2: Based on Example 3, the silicon nitride whisker composite framework in step S3 was replaced with the raw silicon nitride whiskers in step S2.
[0056] 4-Aminophenol was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, CAS No.: 123-30-8, molecular weight: 109.13.
[0057] The polystyrene microspheres, with a particle size of 20 μm, were purchased from Zhongke Leiming (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., item number: PS020000.
[0058] Fumed silica was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, CAS No.: 112945-52-5, molecular weight: 60.08.
[0059] The microporous corundum bricks prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to performance tests: apparent porosity was tested according to GB / T 2997-2000 standard; compressive strength was tested according to GB / T 5072-2008 standard; slag resistance was tested according to YB / T 117 standard; molten iron erosion index was tested according to YB / T4036 standard; average pore size was tested according to YB / T 118 standard; and thermal shock stability was tested according to YB / T376.1-1995 standard, with higher values indicating better thermal shock stability.

[0062] As shown in Table 1, the unfunctionalized silicon nitride whisker composite framework in Comparative Example 1 lacks epoxy groups grafted with 3-glycidyl etheroxypropyltrimethoxysilane on its surface, making it unable to react with the amino groups of the hollow amino phenolic resin nanospheres. It can only bind through physical adsorption, resulting in insufficient continuity of the carbon framework and the absence of covalent bond anchoring. The hollow amino phenolic resin nanospheres are prone to local agglomeration in the gaps between the silicon nitride whisker framework. At high temperatures, the resin in the agglomerated areas generates concentrated gas, increasing the apparent porosity and expanding the average pore size. Although the silicon nitride whisker composite framework can provide some support, the gaps at the resin interface cannot completely prevent pore merging, leading to a decrease in compressive strength.
[0063] In Comparative Example 3, the silicon nitride whiskers, lacking polystyrene microspheres for pore formation and fumed silica filling, could not form a three-dimensional network composite framework. Instead, they were merely dispersed fibrous particles. When mixed with hollow amino-modified phenolic resin nanospheres, the whiskers easily agglomerated and could not serve as pore support points. During carbonization, gas production was uneven, carbon framework defects increased, and without the constraint of a three-dimensional composite framework, pore collapse and merging were severe, resulting in increased apparent porosity, increased average pore size, and decreased compressive strength. The unevenly dispersed silicon nitride whiskers could not form a continuous corrosion-resistant network, and slag easily penetrated through the gaps between whisker agglomerations.
[0064] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
