The invention relates to the technical field of
mullite sagger production, in particular to a
mullite sagger and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method of the
mullite sagger comprises the steps that S1, a porous aluminum
oxide matrix and
zirconium oxychloride suspension liquid are prepared; s2, immersing the porous aluminum
oxide matrix into the
zirconium oxychloride suspension liquid, and enabling the
zirconium oxychloride suspension liquid to permeate into the surface of the porous aluminum
oxide matrix; and S3, heating the porous
alumina matrix with the surface attached with the
zirconium oxychloride suspension to prepare the mullite sagger. The monoclinic phase
zirconium oxide located in the surface of the porous aluminum
oxide matrix plays a role in sealing pores in the surface of the porous aluminum
oxide matrix, and the monoclinic phase
zirconium oxide attached to the outside of the surface of the porous aluminum
oxide matrix forms a compact monoclinic phase
zirconium oxide layer to play a barrier role. Therefore, active
alkali metal ions decomposed by the positive
electrode material are effectively prevented from permeating into the surface of the mullite sagger, and the alkali
erosion resistance of the
surface layer is improved.
