The invention provides a molten iron thermal insulating agent taking
fly ash deducted from dry
quenching as a
raw material and a manufacturing and using method of the molten iron thermal insulating agent. The molten iron thermal insulating agent comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 50%-100% of
fly ash deducted from dry
quenching, 0-50% of water-granulated
blast furnace slag,and 0-10% of expanded
perlite. Compared with the prior art, the molten iron thermal insulating agent and the manufacturing and using method have the beneficial effects that 1) 90%-100% of the
raw material of the molten iron thermal insulating agent comprises metallurgical waste in a metallurgical enterprise,
machining or
grinding is not required, the cost is remarkably lower to that of the similar molten iron thermal insulating agent, the cost is continuously reduced according to a formula, and the cost reducing requirements of enterprises at different levels are met; 2) the molten iron thermal insulating agent can be tightly combined with high blast
slag on the surface of molten iron, slagging is easy, the heat
conductivity coefficient is small, the thermal insulating effect is stable and reliable, resulfurization is not needed, and the
steelmaking cost is not increased; 3) the
slag gathering effect is good, the crusting phenomenon of an opening of a molten iron
jar is reduced, and the
workload and the working difficulty of manual slag removal are reduced; and 4) the
economic benefits and the environmental benefits are remarkable, and the molten iron thermal insulating agent hasremarkable
economic benefits and popularization and application values within the industry.
