Abstract
Abstract A method of preparing high density refractories of magnesia by one of (a) partially calcining magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide, and hot pressing the partially calcined raw materials while dehydroxylation and/or decarbonation is occurring; (b) calcining magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide, partially hydrating (or rehydrating) the calcined raw materials and hot-pressing while the dehydroxylation is occurring; or (c) mixing sinterable magnesia and/or partially hydrated material from (b) with the hydroxide or carbonate and not pressing while decomposition is occurring : followed in each case by a short stabilizing heat treatment at sintering temperatures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein partially calcined magnesium hydroxide is hot-pressed at about 400*-700* C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein partially calcined magnesium carbonate is hot-pressed at about 700*-800* C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method of claim 1 wherein a magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate and mixtures thereof is calcined, cooled, partially hydrated to hydroxide and hot-pressed at about 400*-700* C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1 wherein magnesium hydroxide is mixed with calcined partially hydrated material and the mixture hot-pressed at about 400*-700* C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 wherein magnesium hydroxide is mixed with a low temperature calcined magnesia and the mixture hot-pressed at about 400*-700* C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 6 wherein said magnesia is still hot from calcination.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein about 5-80 percent wt. of the magnesium compounds in the charge is the hydroxide or carbonate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 wherein magnesium hydroxide in about 10-50 percent wt. of the magnesium compounds in the charge is the compound decomposed on hot-pressing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the hot-pressing is carried out at about 5,000-25,000 psi for up to about 10 minutes.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the heat stabilization is carried out at about 1,500*-1,750* C.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the heat stabilization is carried out for a time within about 10 minutes to 5 hours.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the charge is preheated to below decomposition temperature and then introduced into the die which is at hot-pressing temperature.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 wherein low temperature calcination of magnesium hydroxide is carried out within about 400*-700* C.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said composite particulate charge includes at least one additive selected from the group consisting of reinforcing fillers and cerment-forming metals.
