Abstract

Abstract The effect of carbon content of MgO-C refractory was studied with respect to the physical properties, oxidation resistance and kinetics. The oxidation mechanism was investigated by calculating the relevant parameters of oxidation and analyzing the evolutions of phases and microstructures. The oxidation resistance of MgO-C refractory was influenced by the indirect oxidation of carbon through the formation of the MgO constituent layer. The effect of indirect oxidation resulted in the MgO-C refractory with 3 wt% carbon content having a lower oxidation rate and weight loss rate when fired at 1600 °C than when fired at 1400 °C. The oxidation kinetics results based on shrinking core model showed that the effective diffusion coefficient and full oxidation time increased with the increasing of carbon content. This seemingly paradoxical result was mainly due to the effect of the molar density of carbon prevailing over that of the effective diffusion coefficient in the oxidation process.
