Dead Burnt Magnesia

Dead Burnt Magnesia

Magnesia sand is a chemical substance formed by the high-temperature calcination of magnesium hydroxide obtained from dolomite, brucite, or through the reaction of seawater with lime milk. Its main component is magnesium oxide, and it may contain impurities such as calcium oxide, silicon oxide, and iron oxide. Magnesite is primarily used to manufacture alkaline refractory materials, such as magnesium bricks and magnesia-alumina bricks, as well as for lining steel furnace bottoms. It can also be used as a refractory raw material for producing pre-reacted magnesia-chrome bricks and unshaped magnesia refractory materials.

Description

 

ZINFON Dead Burnt Magnesia is produced from magnesite sintered in high-temperature vertical kilns. It features a high MgO content ranging from 90% to 93%, serving as a raw material for manufacturing standard magnesia bricks and monolithic refractories.

It is widely applied in various high-temperature kilns for steel, cement and non-ferrous metal smelting industries.

We supply multiple specifications with ready stock and act as a professional refractory material supplier.

Application

 

This product is used in the production of magnesia bricks, magnesia-alumina bricks, and magnesia-chrome bricks, as well as in gunning mixes, castables, dry ramming mixes, coating masses, and furnace patching materials. It is also used as an additive in pitch, casting materials, fireproof and thermal insulation materials, and welding fluxes. In industrial furnaces, it is used in steelmaking furnaces, heating furnaces, rotary kilns, electric furnace bottoms, and rammed furnace linings for steelmaking.

 

Production Process

 

Specific Production Flow of Dead-Burned Magnesia

 

Ore + Coal + Coke → Sintering → Discharging → Cooling → Crushing & Sorting → Conveying to Warehouse → Secondary Sorting in the Warehouse → Finished Products

 

Sintering Process of Dead-Burned Magnesia

 

The magnesite ore used for dead-burned magnesia generally contains more than 45% MgO, with the total content of Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ being less than 4%. Magnesite (MgCO₃) starts to decompose at 350°C and completes its decomposition at 1000°C.

Vertical kilns with a height of 10–15 meters and a diameter of 3–4 meters are used. Raw materials are fed directly from the top of the kiln, and blowers installed in the middle-lower section supply combustion air into the kiln.

The sintering temperature of dead-burned magnesia is around 1500°C. High-purity magnesite turns off-white gray after calcination. The color of the finished dead-burned magnesia varies depending on the impurities present:

~High SiO₂ content: off-white yellow

~High Fe₂O₃ content: dark brown

~High CaO content: black
