The present invention provides A magnesium oxide whisker in-situ formed MA spinel-reinforced magnesium oxide-based ceramic foam filter and a method for preparing the same. The method comprising: 1) preparing a ceramic slurry having a solid content of 60%-70% by dosing 15%-25% by mass of a nanometer alumina sol, 0.8%-1.5% by mass of a rheological agent, and the balance magnesium oxide ceramic powder comprising magnesium oxide whiskers, and then adding deionized water and ball milling to mix until uniform, and then vacuum degassing the mixture; 2) soaking a polyurethane foam template into the ceramic slurry, squeezing by a roller press the polyurethane foam template to remove redundant slurry therein to make a biscuit, and drying the biscuit by heating it to 80° C.-1200° C.; 3) putting the dried biscuit into a sintering furnace, elevating the temperature to 1400° C.-1600° C. and performing a high temperature sintering, cooling to the room temperature with the furnace to obtain the magnesium oxide-based ceramic foam filter.

An unfired, refractory molded body (1), especially a plate, especially for thermal insulation of molten metal and/or an ingot solidifying from molten metal, that includes a binding agent matrix (2) of a set binder and aggregate grains (3) of biogenic silicic acid, preferably of rice husk ash, which are incorporated into the binding agent matrix (2), wherein the binding agent matrix (2) consists of silica gel, as well as a process for its production and its usage.

A method for manufacturing green or thermally treated briquettes which are made up of at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound that is an iron-based compound. The method includes the steps of supplying a homogeneous pulverulent mixture to a roller press, the press having pockets where the pulverulent mixture is compressed to form the green briquettes. The rollers of the roller press develop linear speeds at the periphery of the rollers between 10 and 100 cm/s and linear pressures between 60 and 160 kN/cm. The method can also include a thermal treatment of the green briquettes to produce fired briquettes containing calcium ferrite, the briquettes having a Shatter Test Index less than 8%, and a porosity value greater than or equal to 30%.

Composition in the form of green or thermally treated briquettes comprising at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound and an iron-based compound, the method of production thereof and uses thereof.
