The invention belongs to the field of
refractory materials, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing aluminum-rich
spinel through a low-temperature
solid-
phase reaction. The method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, mixing 80-90 parts by weight of an aluminum
oxide raw material, 10-20 parts by weight of a
magnesium oxide raw material, 0.5-2 part by weight of
magnesium aluminate spinel micro
powder and 0.5-3 part by weight of an additive, and co-
grinding the materials until the particle size of the raw materials is in a range of 5-20 microns; transferring the co-ground
powder into a high-temperature
kiln, heating to 1000-1500 DEG C, and calcining; and finally, keeping for 3-12 hours at the calcining temperature, and implementing naturally cooling or quickly air-cooling to
room temperature to obtain the aluminum-rich
spinel. A low-temperature synthesis process is adopted, the aluminum-rich spinel synthesized through low-temperature
calcination is fine in grain and high in lattice defect degree, and meanwhile the prepared aluminum-rich spinel
powder is high in activity. The prepared aluminum-rich spinel does not contain beta aluminum
oxide or
impurity phases such as free
magnesium oxide, and the content of aluminum oxide in the aluminum-rich spinel reaches 80-90%. When the prepared aluminum-rich spinel powder is used in a
corundum spinel castable, the aluminum-rich spinel powder has the advantages of high
sintering strength and strong
slag penetration resistance.
