Classification of Silica Brick

There are many varieties of silica bricks, which can be divided into: silica bricks for coke ovens, silica bricks for hot blast furnaces, silica bricks for electric furnaces, silica bricks for glass kilns, etc.
According to the complexity of the brick type, it can be divided into standard brick, general brick, special brick, and special brick.

Silica Mullite Brick

 

Composition of Silica Brick
 
 

Silica (Sand)

High-purity silica sand is the primary raw material. Around 93-96% of this brick consists of silica.

 
 
 

Alumina

Around 1-3% of the silica brick consists of Alumina, making it the secondary raw material.

 
 
 

Other materials

Iron Oxide & Calcium Oxide are added at a range of 0.5-1.5%, and Magnesium Oxide is added at a range of 0.2-0.5%.

 

 

Properties of Silica Brick
 

Density
The density of the silica bricks varies based on the quality of the silica used and the grain size distribution. In general, the density of silica bricks ranges from 1800 kg/m³ to 2200 kg/m³ based on the pore volume, voids and compactness.

 

Porosity
Around 10 to 20% of the silica brick consists of pore holes and voids, which impacts the mechanical strength and thermal and chemical properties.

 

Compressive Strength
The compressive strength of silica bricks varies based on factors such as silica content, firing temperature, porosity, and impurities. Typically, the compressive strength of this brick ranges from 50 MPa to 100 MPa.

 

High Thermal Resistance
Silica brick is known for its high thermal resistance, allowing it to withstand high temperatures up to 1650℃ or even higher based on the quality and composition of raw materials. It is also resistant to thermal shock and is suitable for places where sudden temperature changes occur.

 

Chemical Resistance
Silica bricks provide high chemical resistance and have the ability to withstand the aggressive effects of acids, alkalis and other corrosive substances.

 

Low Expansion Coefficient
Silica bricks have a low coefficient for thermal expansion, which means they can expand and contract less when compared to other refractory bricks. This reduces the risk of cracking and ensures the structural integrity.

 

Manufacturing Process of Silica Brick
 

Preparation of Raw Materials

Choosing high-quality silica-containing components such as quartzite, silica sand, or ganister is crucial. A small amount of binder materials, such as cement or lime sand, is added to hold the silica grains together.

 

Mixing

The prepared raw materials are mixed and ground together inside a ball mill at a specific ratio into a fine powder.

 

Moulding

The powdered mixture is transferred into a mold and compacted using a hydraulic press and vibrator to remove air pockets and ensure a dense and uniform structure.

 

Drying

The moulded bricks are then dried in a controlled environment under sustainable temperatures to remove excess moisture and prevent thermal shock or damage.

 

Firing

The dried bricks are then kiln burnt at a very high temperature of 1400℃ to 1600℃ to achieve the potential strength and resistance.

 

Testing & Storing

After the firing process, the silica brick is cooled down and tested to check for various properties. The tested bricks are then stored in a controlled environment before packing and shipping to the construction site.

 

Sintered Silicon Bricks

 

Application of silica bricks

Glass industry
Silica bricks are mainly used in masonry roofs, parapets, hanging walls, and flow channels of glass-melting furnaces. According to the temperature of the high-temperature gas in the glass, furnace is as high as 1615 ° C, the silica refractory bricks on the roof must withstand gravity, mechanical stress, and high temperature. Therefore, it needs to have good high-temperature mechanical properties; the volume stability at high temperatures is good, and the volume of the product cannot change during use, otherwise, it will cause deformation, damage, or even collapse of the furnace.

 

Iron industry
In the iron and steel industry, silica bricks are widely used as refractory linings in high-temperature areas such as blast furnaces, converters, electric arc furnaces, and continuous casting equipment. It can withstand extremely high temperatures and chemical attacks, protecting equipment from molten metal and slag.

 

Petrochemical industry
Silica refractory bricks also have critical applications in the petrochemical industry. It is used as a refractory lining for cracking furnaces, and catalytic and refining units. The high-temperature stability and acid and alkali corrosion resistance of silica bricks enable them to operate stably for a long time in harsh petrochemical process environments.

 

FAQ

 

Q: Why is silica used in bricks?

A: Silica brick possesses extremely good load-bearing ability at elevated temperatures. It is available in three types: superduty, which has very low alumina and alkali contents, regular or conventional duty, and coke oven quality.

Q: Do old bricks contain silica?

A: Materials like sand, stone, concrete, and mortar contain crystalline silica. It is also used to make products such as glass, pottery, ceramics, bricks, and artificial stone.

Q: What is silica brick made of?

A: Quartz stone material
Silica brick is made of quartz stone material, the content of SiO2 is above 93%, it has good resistance to acid slag and good heat conductivity. And the refractoriness is 1690~1710°C,RUL is beyond 1620°C.

Q: Is silica in clay bricks?

A: Crystalline silica is a common mineral found in most rocks, sands and clays. It is present in things like concrete, bricks, mortar, pavers, tiles, cement sheeting, natural stone products and engineered stone slabs.
