This invention discloses a high strength magnesium slag brick and a method
of producing the same. The high strength magnesium slag brick is composed
of 60 to 80 percent by weight of furnace slag from the reduction process
of a magnesium production, 15 to 25 percent by weight of crushed stones
and/or pebbles, and 1 to 15 percent by weight of gypsum and/or lime. And
the amount of water added to the composition is equivalent to 10 to 40
percent of the total weight of raw materials. The method includes
dispensing of raw materials, adding of water, mingling, leaving it
piled-up, pressing and molding, steam-bathing and drying to obtain the
finished product. Gypsum, one of the raw materials of the slag brick, can
be produced from the waste gas generated from the magnesium production
process. And, the coal cinder or coal ash generated from the burning of
coal in the magnesium production process, can also be used as one of the
raw materials of the slag brick. This invention uses massive volume of
furnace slag from the reduction process of a magnesium production, and
together with aforesaid raw materials, to produce construction bricks,
easing the environmental pollution problem on one hand, and introducing a
new environmental building material on the other hand. The method of
producing high strength magnesium slag brick of this invention is simple
and is easy to manage. The raw materials are readily available. The
production cycle is shorter than conventional processes. The strength of
the magnesium slag brick meets the standard of construction brick. And
most of all, it is very environmental friendly and economical.
