This review shows that adding ceramic materials such as ZrO 2, ZrSiO 4, TiO 2, SiO 2, Cr 2 O
3, etc., to abase alumina refractory clay, improves the corrosion resistance under the …

The reliability of modeling of the ZrO 2-SiO 2-Al 2 O 3 phase diagram up to the temperature
3000 K (melting of ZrO 2) was illustrated using simulation by the three-dimensional (3D) …

Refractory bricks based on mullite and corundum, commonly used in rotary kilns for iron ore
pellet production, and deposit material from an iron ore pellet production kiln, were used in …

Cement-bonded alumina–magnesia refractory castables present excellent properties
because of the in situ spinel and calcium hexaluminate formation. However, controlling the …

This paper shows the results of the solid-state synthesis of mullite from spent catalysts
discarded from fluid catalytic cracking (FCC); the catalysts are mainly composed of silica and …

Fly ash is considered one of the major hazardous pollutants around the globe. Every year a
million tonnes of fly ash is disposed of into the fly ash ponds which are major sites of …

Alkali attack resistance of cement kiln refractories has become one of the key factors
affecting their performance life. In this paper, the correlation between mean pore size, pore …

The corrosion chemistry of SiC-modified andalusite refractories has been studied using a
post-mortem approach that considers both K+ and Ca 2+ ions as the main corrosive agents …

In this study, we analysed the possibilities of improving the physical and mechanical
properties and alkali resistance of fireclay-based conventional (CC) and medium cement …

Buildup of deposit material in chunks on refractory linings caused by combustion of various
fuels is a well-known problem. This study characterizes the short-term deposits on refractory …
