ZIRCON POWDER

摘要

The invention relates to powder consisting of: (a) more than 92% of zircon particles, the powder comprising: (a2) more than 60% of zircon particles having a size greater than 0 microns, at least 90 wt % of said zircon aggregate particles containing less than 50 wt % of a monoclinic phase; (a3) more than 15% of zircon particles having a size less than 50 µm; (b) 1 to 2% of silica particles having a size less than 50 microns; (c) 0.3% to 5% of particles consisting of one, two, or three oxides selected from the group consisting of CaO, MgO, and Y2O3, at least 55 wt % of said additional particles having a size less than 50 µm; (d) less than 1% of particles consisting of "other oxides"; the powder also being such that it comprises: more than 5% of zircon aggregate particles having a size greater than 1 mm; and 8 to 20% of zircon matrix particles having a size less than 15 µm and comprising, for more than 95% of the weight thereof, a monoclinic phase. The invention can be used in a reactor for manufacturing carbon black.
