Oxides reactions with a high-chrome sesquioxide refractory
In slagging coal-gasifier systems, the combination of oxides present as impurities in coal and combustion temperatures that can exceed 1650 degrees C restrict the use of liner materials in the coal combustion chambers to refractories. In this study, the slag-refractory interactions of a new high chrome sesquioxide refractory was characterized. High-temperature cup tests showed that the molten oxides infused into the refractory and that the sesquioxide refractory reacts with the oxides in a manner similar to spinel phase refractories. Studies of the coal slag’s individual oxide components showed CaO reacts with the chrome refractory to form a low melting Ca(CrO2)2. FeO reacts with the sesquioxide to form a interface layer of (Cr,Fe)3O4 spinel phase. Results of this study now make it possible to design studies for improving corrosion resistance to increase refractory life.
