Abstract: A carbonaceous refractory and a method of production is provided, which prevents a drop in the molten pig iron corrosion resistance, molten pig iron penetration resistance, and other properties of carbonaceous refractories required for blast furnace bottom refractories. The mechanical strength of the refractories is raised so as to suppress cracking due to thermal stress. The carbonaceous refractory comprises a carbonaceous material comprising one or more of calcined anthracite, calcined coke, natural graphite, or artificial graphite in 60 to 85 mass %, a refractory metal oxide in 5 to 15 mass %, metal silicon in 4 to 15 mass %, and carbon black in 2 to 10 mass %. An organic binder is added to refractory materials, which are kneaded, molded and fired in a nonoxidizing atmosphere.

Abstract: A cathode block for aluminum refining containing a calcined coke in a proportion of 15 to 100 wt %, characterized in that the calcined coke is prepared by mixing a heavy oil having a content of quinoline insoluble components of 10 to 25 wt % with 3 to 20 wt % of carbon black, and subjecting the resultant mixture to coking and then calcination. The cathode block for aluminum refining is excellent in resistance to abrasion and thus has a prolonged life.

Abstract: A carbonaceous refractory material is produced by adding an organic binder to a mixture containing a carbonaceous material comprising a carbonaceous raw material comprising calcined anthracite, calcined coke, artificial graphite or natural graphite or a mixture thereof at 50 to 85% as the principal raw material, alumina particle at 5 to 15%, metal silicon particle at 5 to 15%, and one or two or more of titanium carbide powder, titanium nitride powder and titanium carbonitride powder at 5 to 20% in total, kneading and molding the resulting mixture and baking the molded article under non-oxidizing atmosphere. By using the carbonaceous refractory material as the inner lining material for the side wall and bottom of blast furnace hearth, the consumption of the inner lining material due to the dissolution thereof in melted pig iron can be decreased, and simultaneously, the abrasion due to the flow of melted pig iron can be decreased, which works to prolong the life of the blast furnace.

Abstract: An artificial coarse-grain aggregate with particle size of 1-5 mm is prepared by adding alumina particulates as an agent for preventing molten iron erosion, metallic silicon particulates as a pore-size reducing agent, and organic binder to flake graphite with high thermal conductivity or to artificial graphite with particle size of 1 mm or less or to a mixture of both types of graphite, and then by kneading, molding, baking, crushing, and screening. By compounding the coarse-grain aggregate thus manufactured instead of the conventional coarse-grain aggregate of calcined anthracite, artificial graphite, or flake graphite to manufacture carbon refractories, large-sized carbon refractories for blast furnaces, with high thermal conductivity and resistance to molten iron, may be manufactured at high yields. In result, the obtained carbon refractories are favorable as lining material for the basin parts of blast furnaces.
