The application relates to the technical field of
refractory materials, and particularly discloses a
hercynite-
mullite solid solution
raw material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the
hercynite-
mullite solid solution
raw material comprises the following steps: after low-grade high-iron
bauxite is crushed and homogenized, the low-grade high-iron
bauxite is subjected to a flotation desilication treatment; the ore
slurry after the flotation is subjected to a
magnetic separation and
iron removal treatment, so that the content of Fe2O3 in the ore
slurry is controlled to be below 9 wt%; a
carbon source is introduced into the ore
slurry after the
magnetic separation and
iron removal, the ore slurry is uniformly mixed, and then the ore slurry is subjected to
drying, shaping and
sintering in a carbon-embedded
atmosphere, and the
hercynite-
mullite solid solution
raw material is obtained. The application realizes high-value and high-quality utilization of the low-grade high-iron
bauxite. Through the flotation desilication and
magnetic separation and
iron removal processes, the contents of SiO2 and Fe2O3 in the raw material are effectively controlled, the low-grade ore which is originally difficult to be directly utilized is converted into qualified
refractory material raw material, and the
resource utilization efficiency and economic value are greatly improved.
