The invention discloses a
red mud-based pneumatic silencer and a preparation method thereof, the method takes
red mud, waste aluminum
oxide ceramic substrate
powder, waste glass
powder and other industrial
solid wastes as raw materials, and the high-performance pneumatic silencer is prepared through the processes of mixing, burdening,
grinding and powdering, melting, atomizing and balling and sinter molding. The preparation method comprises the following specific steps: mixing 20-50 parts of
red mud, 10-30 parts of waste aluminum
oxide ceramic substrate
powder, 1-7 parts of
lithium tetraborate, 1-3 parts of
lithium metaborate, 5-15 parts of waste glass powder, 5-15 parts of
quartz sand and 10-20 parts of kaolin, and
grinding until the 325-micron screen residue is less than 1%; melting at the temperature of between 1,300 and 1,700 DEG C; carrying out atomization under the pressure of 0.5-2.0 MPa, and preparing 18-88 [mu] m
glass spheres at the
cooling rate of 100-500 DEG C / s; and
sintering at the temperature of 1000-1200 DEG C for 1-3 hours. The prepared silencer has a communicated pore structure, the silencing capacity reaches 21-30dB (A), the silencer is not damaged under the radial load of 260-350N, and meanwhile, the silencer has excellent acid and alkali
corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability. High-value utilization of industrial
solid waste is achieved, and the problems that a traditional
metal silencer is prone to
corrosion and short in service life are solved.
