Popis: The formation of the black core in large kaolin bricks during the firing process is caused mainly by the reducing medium which develops in the central part of these high-density refractories, graphitizes the carbon, and converts some of the high-valence iron and titanium oxides to low-valence oxides. The principal sources of the reducing medium inside the brick are the spent sulfite liquor and the sulfur- and carbon-containing impurities of the starting material. The likelihood of a black core being formed increases with the density of the green product and the rate at which the kiln temperature is raised. The properties of the light-colored outer and black inner zones are dissimilar so that cracks are formed during heating and cooling. In a joint project with the Zaporozhe Refractories Plant the Ukrainian Scientific-Research Institute for Refractories developed a method of producing high-density kaolin brick without black core. The method was used to produce about 200 tons of bricks measuring 345×150×150 mm and 230×150 ×150 mm for the lining of the iron notches of the 5000-m3 No. 9 blast furnace of the Krivoi Rog Metallurgical Plant.
