Stability of SiC, Si/sub 3/N/sub 4/, Si/sub 2/N/sub 2/O SIALON and chromium oxide-containing refractories in coal gasification environments. Second annual report, September 1, 1978-August 3, 1979
The main conclusions are as follows: (1) the corrosive action of coal-ash slags on SiC refractories is caused mainly by the reduction-oxidation reaction between SiC and the iron oxide component of the slag; (2) the rate of attack on SiC by coal-ash slag is critically dependent on temperature, i.e., whether or not the SiC-slag interface is above or below the solidus temperature of the silicates involved (as a first approximation selected compositions in the system CaO-FeO-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/). This temperature is approx. 1100/sup 0/C; and (3) studies of equilibrium relations in selected chromium oxide-containing silicate systems have established the low solubility of Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/-containing refractory phases in silicate melts. The solubility of these phases in slicate melts increases drastically, however, at extremely low oxygen pressures, under which conditions a substantial fraction of the chromium is present in the silicate liquid as Cr/sup 2 +/. The oxygen pressures at which this situation prevails, however, are somewhat lower than those prevailing in coal gasification atmospheres.
