Report of Investigations 8823: Resistance of Selected Refractories to Mineral Waste Melts

Details

• Journal Article:
  NTIS: PB84/141019

  Clancy, Timothy A.
• Description:
  In support of research on forming ceramics from mining and processing wastes, the Bureau of Mines tested various commercial refractories to evaluate their resistance to melts of these wastes. Sixteen refractories of various types were exposed in slag erosion tests to two siliceous waste melts with sio2/cao ratios of 4.0 And 2.2. The extent and nature of slag attack were then determined for each refractory. The nature of slag attack was investigated through scanning electron micrographs and microprobe elemental distributions. The refractories that performed best in resisting attack by the melts were high-alumina types, and of the refractories tested, the most resistant was a 90-pct-al2o3, 10-pct-cr2o3 refractory.
