Method for producing ceramic materials incorporating ferric oxide, alumina, and silicon dioxide for nuclear-reactor molten core trap

• NOVELTY - Production of ceramic materials for nuclear reactor molten core trap involves preparation of charge by milling and mixing components, and producing molding powder from charge. This molding powder is molded and formed into briquettes, which are calcined in an air environment at 1300 - 1380 degreesC for 2-14 hr. The briquettes are crushed, the powder is milled and sized to fractions, and mixed with binder. The parts are molded and calcined at 1200-1300 degreesC for 4-14 hr. Silicon dioxide and part of the alumina are introduced into the charge as kaolin, whose content is higher than the desired content of silicon dioxide in material by 2.1-2.3 times. USE - In nuclear power engineering, for confining molten core in water-cooled tank reactors. ADVANTAGE - Enhanced reproducibility of physical and mechanical properties of molten core sacrificial ceramic materials.
