ABSTRACT: Driven by the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the resource utilization of solid waste has attracted considerable attention due to its scientific importance and environmental benefits. For this purpose, MgO-MgAlON-BN refractories with enhanced thermal shock and slag resistance were designed and successfully fabricated by introducing BN solid waste as an additive. The results indicate that the sample containing BN additives exhibits superior overall performance compared with those without additives. At a BN content of 3.26 wt.%, the cold compressive strength increases by 21.20%, and the contact angle at 1723 K increases by 50.01%. Further analysis reveals that the improved wetting behavior is mainly attributed to the introduction of BN additives, which promote the formation of numerous micro-convex structures. These structural characteristics restrict slag infiltration and inhibit slag penetration into the refractory matrix, thereby enhancing slag resistance. Consequently, a cost-effective and feasible reinforcement strategy for MgO-MgAlON-BN refractories is proposed, providing a promising pathway for the high-value utilization of solid waste resources.
