Dead-burnt magnesite (DBM) is a high-purity form of magnesium oxide (MgO) produced by sintering magnesite ore at high temperatures (1400-1800°C). It serves as a crucial raw material in the production of refractories, particularly magnesia bricks, and amorphous (shapeless) refractory materials. Sintered magnesite exhibits good resistance to basic slags and other corrosive materials, making it ideal for use in metallurgical processes.
These end products, with varying grades, are vital for the following industrial applications:
- Steelmaking: Due to its excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemical attack, DBM is widely used in the linings of steelmaking furnaces, ladles, and other refractory applications.
- Electric Arc Furnace Bottoms: It's an essential component in the bottoms of electric arc furnaces, where it withstands extreme temperatures and harsh operating conditions.
- Ramming Mass Furnaces: DBM is used in ramming masses, which are compacted in place to provide durable, heat-resistant linings for various furnace types.
