Damage And Repair Of Refractory Bricks In Cement Rotary Kilns

The application of refractory bricks in the kiln immediately endangers the operation rate of the cement kiln and the production of cement clinker. The application cycle time of the new dry cement kiln refractory brick should not be less than 10 months, and the brick consumption of one ton of cement clinker should be less than 500 grams, otherwise, the application heart will analyze the cause of endangering the service life of the refractory brick, which is easy to improve and enhance.

Application Of Refractory Silica Red Brick In Cement Kiln

The small heat transfer coefficient of the salmon-red brick enables the outer wall temperature of the kiln body to be maintained at about 320 degrees Celsius, and the small heat loss reduces the product cost of cement clinker manufacturing. By comparing the salmon red brick and spinel in the 5000t/d kiln, 2077.2kg of standard coal can be saved per day, according to the calculation, each kiln can save at least 600 tons of standard coal per year, and the light weight of salmon red and the kiln skin characteristics that are not easy to appear can further reduce the net weight of the kiln body about 200 tons.

Facilitate the preparation of storage and reduce period costs. Magnesium chrome brick, spinel brick, and other alkali refractory materials are not easy to store for a long time, especially in the rainy season, alkali refractory materials are very easy to absorb moisture resulting in internal crystal phase conversion, resulting in brick delamination solidification, light harm the application, serious loss of commodity value. In contrast, silicon Mo red brick has stable characteristics, simple storage equipotential, and does not have moisture absorption and solidification problems. In addition, because of the reduction of the type of refractory bricks equipped with the whole kiln, it is beneficial to reduce the cost of management methods. The short manufacturing cycle time and immediate delivery are also beneficial to the company’s effective brick preparation, reducing the amount of spare supplies and saving capital turnover.

Three key factors harm the life of refractory brick in the kiln: first, the quality and equipment of refractory brick. 2. Processing technology and manufacturing situation. Third, the storage and construction of refractory bricks.
The level is a prerequisite, the selection of high-quality goods and effective model selection is to ensure all the normal application of the preparation conditions, proper storage, and high-quality wall building to increase the use of refractory brick reliable guarantee! The lining brick in the kiln will be destroyed by mechanical equipment and organic chemical ground stress during manufacturing. The damage condition and root cause are described as follows:

Cement Rotary Kiln

1. Mechanical Equipment Ground Stress Damage

1. Hot Deformation And Extrusion Of Refractory Brick
When the furnace temperature reaches a certain level, the thermal deformation of the kiln radial will cause the working pressure, resulting in the extrusion molding of adjacent refractory bricks in the middle. When the working pressure is too high as the compressive strength of refractory bricks, it will cause the surface of the refractory brick to fall off. The following countermeasures should be taken for such problems :1. Dry masonry firebrick, set effective side cardboard,2mm coal brick firebrick,2. Leave a suitable brick ring.

2. Stainless Steel Plate Ground Stress Damage
At the hot end of the refractory brick, the surface stainless steel plate and magnesium oxide produce chemical changes in the magnesium brick, which is converted into a magnesia chemical material at high temperature, and the chemical material expands in volume, extrudes the refractory brick, and breaks horizontally. For such things, the practice of ceramic veneer iron for refractory bricks should be corrected or replaced with fire clay.

3. The Fire Brick Large-Scale Torsion Displacement
Because the wall is too loose, the kiln is often opened and shut down, and the shape of the kiln cylinder changes, so that the relative speed of the kiln cylinder body and the cool surface of the lining brick causes the lining brick to twist and shift and the tile surface to burst and drop the Angle. The following countermeasures should be adopted for such things:
(1) When building a wall, a large number of refractory bricks should be hammered with a wooden mallet, the lock brick should be stuck tightly, and the wedge iron should be added twice with the heart.
(2) Long-maintained thermal insulation regulations.
(3) Part of the shape of the kiln barrel is leveled with high-temperature balance cement.
⑷ Oval-shaped stress extrusion
The gap expansion of the kiln wheel belt pad causes a large ellipticity, resulting in the extrusion of the refractory brick. For such things, the oval of the head should be checked on time, such as the oval value of 1/10 of the kiln diameter (such as 4.7 meters of kiln diameter, the larger oval value of 0.47%), the pad should be replaced or the pad should be raised to adjust the gap of the wheel belt.

4. lock iron ground stress extrusion molding
When locking the brick, the lock iron is too much and too tight, which will cause the brick groove at the lock gate. The following countermeasures should be adopted for such things:
(1) No 3 pieces of lock iron shall be produced at the same lock.
(2) The lock iron spacing should be dispersed as much as possible.
(3) When locking bricks, the inside and outside of the mouth are tight and consistent.
(4) Lock iron as far as possible to eliminate thin lock bricks.

5. Block Ring Extrusion Refractory Brick
The bricks of the brick circle break due to extrusion and cracks. For this purpose, one brick circle should be changed to two brick circles.

2. Thermal destruction

1. Temperature condition
The partial temperature in the kiln causes the indentation of refractory brick to melt. To prevent such things, the burner should be properly adjusted and effective refractory insulation materials should be selected in different locations.

2. Thermal shock condition
Because of the sudden temperature change caused by welding stress resulting in falling off the tile surface, the key is often caused by cold and hot shutdown. The actual operation of manufacturing should be smooth, and effective rules and regulations for cooling kilns should be formulated.

3. Organic Chemical Corrosion Damage
⑴ Alkali corrosion
The chemicals of liquid alkali salts penetrate the gap in the brick, which is cold and dry.
⑵ chromium corrosion
Under the corrosion of too much alkali salt, the (K, Na)2O of chromite ore and mineral acid is converted into K2(Na2Cr6), and the hexavalent alkali chromate caused by chemical changes not only causes damage to the brick body, but also causes environmental pollution and serious harm to physical and mental health, so magnesium chrome brick should be reduced and stopped, and replaced by magnesia aluminum spinel, magnesia iron spinel, limestone brick.
(3) Solidification condition
MgO and water are converted into Mg(OH)2, which increases the volume and destroys the overall structure of the firebrick. Because refractory bricks containing mgo and cao produce solidification reactions, moisture, moisture, and rain protection are guaranteed in the storage, transportation, and masonry walls of refractory bricks. From the destruction principle of the left and right firebricks, it can be concluded that the construction standard of refractory insulation materials can reasonably increase the use period of refractory insulation materials, and the construction of furnace construction with professional technology, dedication, and rich work experience is a key step in the application of refractory insulation materials.
All in all, each cement kiln has a different system software, to find the cause of its problems and deal with it, sometimes needs to cooperate in many ways, which can have the actual effect of less effort.
