The invention relates to a light
cordierite-
spinel castable and a preparation method thereof. The technical scheme includes that 40wt. %-70wt. % of porous
cordierite ceramic particles, 5wt. %-15wt. % of
magnesium oxide fine powders, 11wt. %-30wt. % of industrial
alumina fine powders, 2wt. %-8wt. % of active Al2O3 fine powders, 2wt. %-10wt. % of
silicon oxide micro powders and 1wt. %-14wt. % of silica fine powders are used as raw materials, and water and water reducing agents are added for being uniformly stirred and molded by
casting, wherein the water is 8wt. %-20wt. % of the raw materials, and the water reducing agents is 0.02wt. %-1wt. % of the raw materials; a molded
green body is naturally dried for 24 hours and then dried for 8-48 hours under the condition of 110 DEG C to prepare the light
cordierite-
spinel castable. The preparation method is simple, and the light cordierite-
spinel castable has the advantages of being convenient to construct, environment-friendly, controllable and high in apparent
porosity, controllable in pore sizes and burnt volume, small in average pore sizes, low in heat
conductivity, high in strength, good in
thermal shock stability, high in medium
corrosion resistance capability, high in using temperatures and applicable to a permanent layer or a work layer of a high temperature
kiln or a container with working temperatures lower than 1410 DEG C.
