Abstract
A combined theoretical and experimental study has been conducted to better understand the alkali-erosion behaviour of silicon carbide refractory in blast furnace environment, which is important to blast furnace life extension. The erosion mechanism due to the interaction between molten alkali and silicon carbide refractory is first analysed thermodynamically, then studied by analysing the microscopic structure and resultant composition of the eroded refractory by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The results indicate that the alkali-erosion is mainly due to the formation of SiO2, resulting from the oxidation of SiC, and then K2SiO3 and/or K2O 2SiO2 compound by the reaction with K(1,g) on the working surface of the refractory lining.
