One of the most important elements of furnaces, boilers and other heating units is the
structure (lining), usually made of silica–alumina, basic or special refractories. The basic …

Nowadays, digitalization and automation in both industrial and research activities are driving
forces of innovations. In recent years, machine learning (ML) techniques have been widely …

In this study, the degradation behavior of Al 2 O 3-Ti 3 AlC 2-Si-C refractories and a
complete degradation process of Ti 3 AlC 2 under a temperature gradient along the …

The steel industry is one the biggest consumers of refractories. In this industry, refractories
are commonly used as linings for steel production equipment, because they can sustain …

This study investigated the effects of the Al 2 O 3/SiO 2 mass ratio and gas composition on
the viscosity and structure of Cr-containing CaO-SiO 2-MgO-Al 2 O 3-CrO x stainless steel …

Reactive MgO was used in the first time as alternative hydraulic binder of calcium aluminate
cement (CAC) to prepare Cr 2 O 3-bearing refractory castable. The formation of Cr (VI), and …

The degradation behavior of SiC-MgAl 2 O 4 materials contacting with coal gasifying slag
was studied via rotary kiln testing at 1500° C, to assess the viability of this material type as …

Microporous refractories applied in the working-lining of metallurgical furnaces have been
rapidly developed in recent years owing to the outstanding mechanical properties, thermal …

This work aimed to investigate if it is possible to substitute fused MgO aggregate with the
sintered MgO in MgO–C refractories which could save significant amounts of energy. The …

Spent MgO-Cr2O3 bricks contain various heavy metals and are considered as a hazardous
waste. In order to utilize the waste, a novel process to recover the copper from the spent …
