▸ High-density, thermally stable calcined bauxite for metallurgical processes including furnace linings, ladles, and slag conditioning.
★ Al₂O₃ 75-90% ★ Refractoriness 1750℃+
★ Low Impurities ★ High Bulk Density
▸ Rotary kiln bauxite is a high-alumina refractory raw material produced by calcining premium-grade bauxite in a rotary kiln at temperatures above 1600°C. In the metallurgical industry, it is widely utilized as a key component in steel ladle linings, blast furnace troughs, tundish boards, and other critical refractory applications. Its high density, low porosity, and excellent chemical stability provide long service life under severe thermal and mechanical conditions. Additionally, it can be used in slag conditioning and as a flux component in secondary metallurgy processes.
▸ The rotary kiln calcination process imparts properties essential for the demanding metallurgical environment:
High Thermal Shock Resistance — withstands rapid temperature fluctuations in batch and continuous casting operations.
Low Porosity & High Density — minimizes slag penetration and metal infiltration in refractories, extending lining life.
Chemical Inertness — resists basic and acidic slags, ensuring consistent performance in steelmaking and ironmaking.
Stable Mineralogy — complete mullite and corundum formation provides mechanical strength at service temperatures up to 1770°C.
▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO, K₂O, Na₂O
▸ Bulk Density & Porosity Measurement — ensures consistent material performance in linings
▸ Particle Size Distribution — laser diffraction and sieve analysis for precise grading
▸ Magnetic Separation Inspection — removes iron contamination to maintain chemical purity
▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from mine to shipment
