Corrosion resistance evaluation of highly dispersed MgO–MgAl2O4–ZrO2 composite and analysis of its corrosion mechanism: A chromium-free refractory for RH refining kilns

The corrosion resistance behavior of a highly dispersed MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 composite refractory material is examined by testing with high-basicity and low-basicity RH(Ruhrstahl-Hereaeus)slags.The composite material exhibits greater resistance to the RH slags than the traditional MgO-Cr2O3 composite,MgO-ZrO2 composite,and MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 composite.On the basis of the microstructural analysis and mechanisms calculations,the corrosion resistance behavior of the MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 composite is attributable to its highly dispersed structure,which helps protect the high activity of ZrO2.When in contact with the slag,ZrO2 reacts with CaO to form the stable phase CaZrO3,which protects MgAl2O4 against corrosion,thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance of the composite.

纳米TiO_2复合微粒的制备及应用

为了改善纳米半导体TiO2的分散性,制备了以微米级的PMMA塑料粒子为核心粒子的TiO2/PMMA复合微粒和以SiO2作为表面包覆的TiO2/SiO2复合粒子。通过对TiO2/PMMA进行紫外、SEM测试,发现由于TiO2粒子分散性的改善,复合微粒对紫外线的吸收能力为纳米TiO2与PMMA塑料粒子混合物的3～10倍。在对TiO2/SiO2进行TEM、XRD及比表面测试后,结果表明复合粒子是由4nm的SiO2膜和约12.6nm的TiO2核组成。
