The Development Background of the Coke Industry and the Need for Upgraded Refractory Materials in Coke Ovens

In the ever - evolving landscape of the coke industry, the demand for high - performance refractory materials in coke ovens is on the rise. As the industry progresses, traditional refractory materials struggle to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of modern coke - making processes. This has led to the development of high - density, low - porosity silica bricks, a revolutionary solution in the field of coke oven refractories.

Core Performance Indicators of High - Density, Low - Porosity Silica Bricks

These silica bricks are characterized by three key performance indicators: high density, high thermal conductivity, and high compressive strength at high temperatures. Let's take a look at how these properties compare to ordinary silica bricks in the following table:

Performance Indicator High - Density, Low - Porosity Silica Bricks Ordinary Silica Bricks
Density Greater than 2.38g/cm³ Around 2.3g/cm³
Thermal Conductivity High, up to 1.8 W/(m·K) Around 1.2 W/(m·K)
Compressive Strength at High Temperatures Can withstand up to 50 MPa at 1400°C Around 30 MPa at 1400°C

Improvements in Coke Oven Performance

The high density of these silica bricks brings about significant improvements in coke oven performance. For example, in a large - scale coke plant in Germany, after replacing ordinary silica bricks with high - density, low - porosity silica bricks, the quality of coke increased by 10%. The coke's strength index (M40) improved from 80% to 88%, and the abrasion index (M10) decreased from 10% to 8%.

Moreover, the service life of the coke oven was extended by approximately 20%. Previously, the coke oven needed to be repaired every 5 years, but with the new silica bricks, the repair interval was extended to 6 years. In addition, the coking time was shortened by about 15%. The original coking cycle of 20 hours was reduced to 17 hours, which greatly improved the production efficiency of the coke plant.

Strict Quality Standards

To ensure the high quality and reliability of these silica bricks, strict standards are in place. The finished product has a porosity of less than 16% and a density greater than 2.38g/cm³. These standards guarantee that the bricks can withstand the harsh conditions inside the coke oven, such as high temperatures, chemical corrosion, and mechanical stress.

Scientific Selection Guide

When choosing refractory materials for your coke oven, it's essential to consider your specific needs. Are you more concerned about coke quality, production efficiency, or the service life of the coke oven? Our high - density, low - porosity silica bricks offer a comprehensive solution that can meet various requirements.

We understand that every customer's situation is unique. So, we encourage you to ask questions. Do you have any concerns about the installation or maintenance of these silica bricks? How do you think these bricks can fit into your existing coke - making process?

Installation of high - density low - porosity silica bricks in a coke oven
