Method for manufacturing light magnesia-alumina spinel insulation materials

The invention belongs to the technical field of insulation material manufacturing, in particular to a method for manufacturing light magnesia-alumina spinel insulation materials. The method includes the following steps: pouring magnesite powder or magnesia powder, alumina powder, water, foaming agents, monomers and cross linking agents successively into a stirring cylinder, and obtaining a foam slurry through mechanical stirring; adding initiating agents and catalytic agents into the foam slurry successively, and pouring the mixture into a mold rapidly; demoulding to obtain green bodies after slurry gel is solidified, and obtaining light magnesia-alumina spinel insulation materials though drying and sintering. The method has the advantages that magnesite or magnesia powder prepared by calcining magnesite which is abundant in our country is used as main materials, cracking problems caused by uneven sintering shrinkage are solved through cubical expansion during spinel petrifaction process, magnesia-alumina spinel insulation products with fixed forms, different shapes and sizes, low density and thermal conductivity and high strength are manufactured, the process is simple, the cost of used materials is low, and insulation materials are suitable for industrialized manufacture.
