Via the solid phase reaction, Mg-Al spinel has been synthesized by using industrial waste slag from aluminum factory, basic magnesium carbonate and a little amount of clay as the main raw materials. The influences of Cr2O3 mineralizer on crystalline structure, micro-morphology and properties of synthesized Mg-Al spinel are discussed. The synthesized product was characterized by using XRD and SEM, and the relative contents of each crystalline phase are calculated by relevant analytical software such as Philips plus, Rietveld quantification and so on. The experimental results show that a certain amount of Cr2O3 is helpful to the formation of Mg-Al spinel, and when the addition of Cr2O3 is 2.0%, Mg-Al spinel in the system exists in the form of solid solution （Mg0.68A10.32）（A10.84Mg0.16）2O4 whose content is the highest reaching 91%. Then the corresponding indexes of each property are as follows： water absorption 3.0%, apparent porosity 9.8%, bulk density 3.36 g·cm^3, and flexural strength 83.32 MPa. Therefore, we can confirm that the optimum addition of Cr2O3 mineralizer is 2.0%.
Magnesium aluminate spinel （MgAl2O4） with high purity has been prepared by using anodized waste slag from aluminum factory and （MgCO3）4Mg（OH）2.5H2O as the main raw materials to discuss the change laws and characteristics of crystalline structure, microstructures and properties. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, together with relevant analysis software, were used to characterize the crystal phases and microstructures so as to get MgAl2O4. Results show that when increasing the holding time the amount of MgAl2O4 increases fwstly and then keeps stable, but bulk density and bending strength increase firstly and then decrease. The best holding time is determined to be 3 h because at this time the corresponding MgAl2O4 content is up to 93%, bulk density 3.23 g·cm^3, apparent porosity 4.6% and bending strength 122.4 MPa.
High-purity aluminum titanate was synthesized via a water quenching method with waste-residue in the aluminum factory and industrial TiO2 as the main raw materials, which belongs to the comprehensive utilization of solid wastes. Compared with the conventional method, it can reduce synthesis temperature, effectively inhibit decomposition and raise the content of AT; the addition of tiny silicon powder can improve the sintering and optimize the properties of AT. The crystalline phase structure and microstructure of each sample were characterized with XRD and SEM methods; the content of each crystalline phase in each sample was confirmed with Rietveld Quantification method; the properties of each sample were also tested. The experimental results showed that No. 4 is the optimum specimen, with the corresponding mass ratio of Al2O3/TiO2 to be 1.27 and the content of AT of 97.2 wt%. The addition of optimum tiny silicon powder is confirmed to be 8wt%; its corresponding bulk density is 2.63 g/cm^3, bending strength is 46.34 MPa, and the retention of one thermal vibration bending strength is 71.5%.
