Silica Brick Use For industry Furnace

Our silica brick is a premium acidic refractory material with SiO₂ content ≥94%, fired at 1400-1430℃. It features high load softening temperature (1640-1680℃), excellent acid slag corrosion resistance, stable volume under long-term high temperature, and low creep rate. Widely used in coke ovens, glass furnaces, hot blast furnaces, etc., to extend equipment service life and improve production efficiency.

  • Item: Silica Brick

Core Advantages

High Silicon Content & Premium Purity

SiO₂ content ranges from 94% to 96%, with extremely low harmful impurities (Fe₂O₃ ≤1.5%,). The high purity ensures excellent refractory performance and minimizes pollution to molten materials such as glass liquid .

Exceptional High-Temperature Resistance

Load softening temperature reaches 1640-1680℃, close to the melting point of tridymite and cristobalite. It can maintain structural integrity and no deformation under long-term high-temperature and high-load conditions .

Strong Acid Corrosion Resistance

As an acidic refractory material, it has strong resistance to acid slag and acidic gas erosion, and performs significantly better than clay bricks and ordinary high-alumina bricks in acidic working environments .

Stable High-Temperature Volume

After special firing process, the main mineral composition is tridymite and cristobalite. The residual expansion is small (0-0.2% at 1450℃×2h), which can make the masonry joints tight and ensure good airtightness .

Excellent Thermal Conductivity

Thermal conductivity is higher than that of clay bricks and high-alumina bricks, which is conducive to rapid heat storage and heat release of furnace equipment, improving energy utilization efficiency .

Detailed Application Scenarios

1. Coke Oven Application

◎ Silica brick is the core refractory material for modern large-scale coke ovens, which is used in key parts such as regenerator walls, slopes, carbonization chamber bottoms, furnace walls, and furnace tops . Coke ovens need to operate continuously at 950-1050℃ for dry distillation of coal. The high temperature resistance, stable volume, and good thermal conductivity of silica brick can increase the temperature of the combustion chamber, shorten the coking time, improve the production capacity of the coke oven, and extend the service life of the coke oven to more than 20 years. It is especially suitable for large coke ovens with carbonization chamber height above 6m .

2. Glass furnace Application

◎ Silica brick is the most widely used and important brick type in float glass furnaces, mainly used in the melting section, working section roof swan, breast wall, front and rear end walls, regenerator top swan, and regenerator upper partition wall . The glass furnace gas temperature can reach above 1615℃, and the silica brick can withstand gravity, mechanical stress and high temperature load. It has slight erosion after absorbing a small amount of alkali components, which will not reduce the structural strength of the furnace top. At the same time, its low impurity content (Fe₂O₃ ≤0.8%) can avoid polluting the glass liquid and ensure the quality of glass products .

3. Hot Blast Furnace Application

Silica brick is used for masonry of high-temperature parts of blast furnace hot blast furnaces. Under the working conditions of long-term high temperature and high air pressure, it has stable volume and low creep rate, and can be used continuously for 1-2 blast furnace generations . Its excellent thermal conductivity is conducive to rapid heat storage and heat release, improving the temperature of hot air and the thermal efficiency of the blast furnace. It is suitable for the high-temperature bearing parts of hot blast furnaces and acidic blast furnace tops .
