Title A name given to the resource Synthesis of Value Added Refractories from Aluminium Dross and Zirconia Composites Subject The topic of the resource Aluminium dross; Composite; Industrial waste; Refractories; Thermal shock; Zirconia Description An account of the resource Results of a developmental study on the potential to synthesize industrial grade refractories from aluminum dross with un-stabilized zirconia are reported. The merit of the developed product to perform as refractories suitable for use at or above 1000C was assessed by studying the thermo-physical behavior as per guidelines of ASTM and IS. Aluminum dross, an industrial waste (slag) is generated in several millions of tons in the production of Aluminum and is dumped into landfills, which releases poisonous gases like methane and ammonia upon contact with moisture present in the land and the heat generated by the earth, warranting stringent mitigation efforts. Rich in aluminum metal (?15%), ?-Al2O3 (7-15%), MgAl2O4 (10-15%) and AlN (20-30%), the general prime dross composition draws interest due to its abundance and presence of ?-Al2O3 and MgAl2O4, for the production of refractories with insulating, shock resistance and stability at high temperature (?1000C and above) characteristics. Nevertheless, presence of AlN, a good thermal conductor acts as a deterrent in the production of refractories. Aluminium dross (after leaching out AlN) was processed with un-stabilized zirconia (monoclinic ZrO2) to synthesize the refractory composites. Conventional process (calcination, ball milling, compaction and sintering (1550C/6 hrs)) was employed. Characterization involved thermal shock cycling (air quench at furnace ambient of 1000C and room temperature) to determine the number of shock cycles endured before failure. Structural phase analyses at various stages of processing were carried out by via XRD. Magnesia present in dross did not appear to stabilize either the tetragonal or cubic ZrO2. Microstructural and chemical composition studies were carried out via SEM and EDS. The favourable results confirm the viability of the process methodology. 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
