Abstract

Grains for the production of a sintered refractory product, a batch for the production of a sintered refractory product, a process for the production of a sintered refractory product and a sintered refractory product

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . Grains for the production of a sintered refractory product, the grains comprising the following features:
1.1 the grains are made of at least one of the following grains:
1.1.1 grains made of magnesia, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
1.1.2 grains made of magnesite, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
1.1.3 grains made of doloma, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
1.1.4 grains made of dolomite, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections;
1.2 the grains have a grain size of at least 2.8 mm.

2 . The grains according to claim 1 , wherein the grains have a grain size in the range from 2.8 to 8.0 mm.

3 . The grains according to claim 1 , wherein the proportion by weight of the coating of zirconia, in relation to the total weight of the grains, is in the range from 1 to 50% by weight.

4 . The grains according to claim 1 , wherein the coating of zirconia has a thickness of at least 10 μm.

5 . The grains according to claim 1 , wherein the coating of zirconia has a thickness in the range from 10 to 800 μm.

6 . A batch for the production of a sintered refractory product, the batch comprising grains, the grains comprising the following features:
6.1 the grains are made of at least one of the following grains:
6.1.1 grains made of magnesia, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
6.1.2 grains made of magnesite, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
6.1.3 grains made of doloma, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
6.1.4 grains made of dolomite, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections;
6.2 the grains have a grain size of at least 2.8 mm.

7 . The batch according to claim 6 , comprising at least 1% by weight of the grains, in relation to the total weight of the batch.

8 . The batch according to claim 6 , comprising 1 to 15% by weight of the grains, in relation to the total weight of the batch.

9 . The batch according to claim 6 , comprising at least one calcium oxide comprising component.

10 . The batch according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one calcium oxide comprising component is at least one of the following calcium oxide comprising components: Doloma or dolomite.

11 . The batch according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one calcium oxide comprising component is present in the form of grains.

12 . The batch according to claim 6 , wherein the batch is a batch for the production of a sintered refractory dolomite product.

13 . The batch according to claim 6 , wherein the batch has a chemical composition with MgO in the range from 38 to 90% by mass and with CaO in the range from 8 to 60, the remainder being ZrO 2 , SiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 .

14 . A process for the production of a sintered refractory product, the process comprising the following steps:
14.1 providing a batch, the batch comprising grains, the grains comprising the following features:
14.1.1 the grains are made of at least one of the following grains:
14.1.1.1 grains made of magnesia, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
1.4.1.1.2 grains made of magnesite, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
14.1.1.3 grains made of doloma, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections; or
14.1.1.4 grains made of dolomite, the surface of which have a coating of zirconia at least in sections;

14.1.2 the grains have a grain size of at least 2.8 mm.
14.2 firing the batch to produce a sintered refractory product.

15 . A sintered refractory product, the product comprising the following features:
15.1 the product comprises grains, which are sintered together; 15.2 the grains comprise first grains and second grains, wherein 15.3 the first grains comprise calcium oxide comprising grains, wherein 15.4 the second grains are at least one of the following grains:
15.4.1 magnesia grains, the surface of which have a coating of calcium zirconate at least in sections; or
15.4.2 magnesite grains, the surface of which have a coating of calcium zirconate at least in sections; or
15.4.3 doloma grains, the surface of which have a coating of calcium zirconate at least in sections; or
15.4.4 dolomite grains, the surface of which have a coating of calcium zirconate at least in sections; and wherein
15.5 the second grains have a grain size of at least 2.8 mm.
