Abstract

Spherical carbon nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel polymerization of resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of CTAB(cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide) and subsequent carbonization at 900 in N2 atmosphere. It is found that the amount of CTAB, water and catalyst showed a significant impact on the morphology and size of carbon nanoparticles. The magnesia-carbon (MgO-C) bricks containing 1~4 wt% nanocarbon were prepared by adding various types of carbon black (CB), multi walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) and synthesized nanocarbon. The mechanical properties, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the MgO-C brick in which the nanocarbon is added was investigated. The MgO-C refractories were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM, MIRA II LMH), Cold Crush Strength (CCS).
