【Summary】 Against the backdrop of carbon neutrality, the development of green, long-life refractory materials has become an industry focal point. As fundamental supporting materials for high-temperature industries such as steel, cement, and glass, the performance of refractories directly affects the energy consumption and emissions of industrial kilns.
Against the backdrop of carbon neutrality, the development of green, long-life refractory materials has become a major industry focus. As fundamental supporting materials for high-temperature industries such as steel, cement, and glass, refractory materials directly influence the energy consumption and emissions of industrial kilns. Traditional refractory materials suffer from issues such as short service life, high energy consumption, and substantial carbon emissions. In contrast, green, long-life refractory materials, through technological innovation, have achieved significant improvements in high-temperature resistance, erosion resistance, and thermal shock stability, while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions during both production and use.
For example, the low-thermal-conductivity multilayer composite mullite bricks developed by Ruitai Technology feature a multi-layer structural design that effectively reduces the temperature of the kiln shell, minimizes energy loss, and extends the service life of the kiln. Meanwhile, the high-performance ladle magnesia-carbon bricks introduced by Guoliang New Materials, through optimized raw material formulations and sintering processes, have enhanced their thermal-shock resistance, reduced carbon pickup from molten steel and temperature drops, and lowered refractory consumption. In addition, the development of new types of refractories—such as chromium-free, lightweight, and modular products—continues to drive the industry’s green transformation.
These innovative achievements not only meet the downstream industries’ demand for energy conservation and emission reduction, but also open up new growth avenues for refractory material enterprises. As the carbon neutrality goal continues to be pursued in depth, the research and development of green, long-life refractory materials will keep accelerating, becoming a key driving force behind the industry’s high-quality development.
