Description
Corundum bricks can be used in the ceramic cup, tuyere, and iron outlet areas of blast furnaces; the dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, and atmospheric emissions from the production process, but infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundary; the life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references; the manufacturing process of corundum bricks involves raw material procurement, pretreatment, forming, sintering, quality inspection, packaging, and other stages.
Activity Description
The production of corundum bricks involves processes such as raw material procurement, pretreatment, forming, sintering, quality inspection, and packaging.
Process Description
Corundum bricks are used in the ceramic lining of blast furnaces and at tuyere and tap hole areas, made primarily from fused corundum and white corundum. They are formed by mechanical pressing and then fired at high temperatures.
