Antimony rotary furnace plays a key role in antimony smelting and other processes. Its operating environment is harsh, and the selection and maintenance of the furnace lining material are crucial.
Furnace lining materials must withstand the dual test of ores, reducing agents and other substances at high temperatures. They must not only resist high-temperature thermal shock, but also withstand chemical corrosion. Therefore, choosing the right furnace lining material requires comprehensive consideration of many factors. High-temperature resistance is the foundation. The material must maintain structural stability at high temperatures and not soften or deform. Chemical stability is also essential. It must be able to resist the erosion of various chemical substances and avoid damage due to reactions with the materials in the furnace. Thermal shock resistance is also critical. The temperature of the rotary kiln will fluctuate during operation, and the material must be able to withstand such sudden temperature changes without cracking. For example, although some refractory bricks have good resistance to high temperatures and chemical corrosion, they have poor thermal shock resistance and are prone to cracking when the temperature changes, which affects their service life.
After selecting the right materials, an effective maintenance strategy is essential. Regular inspections are the foundation of maintenance. A detailed inspection plan should be developed, with a thorough and comprehensive observation of the furnace lining, documenting the extent and rate of damage. By analyzing this data, we can accurately understand the wear patterns of the furnace lining and determine an appropriate maintenance cycle. Minor damage can be promptly repaired to prevent further problems. Severe, irreparable damage requires prompt replacement to prevent rotary furnace failures and potential production safety impacts.
In short, the rational selection of antimony rotary furnace lining materials and the implementation of effective maintenance strategies can extend the service life of the furnace lining, ensure the stable operation of the rotary furnace, and provide reliable support for antimony smelting and other production processes.
