Conclusions
The main requirements of refractories for the doors of coke ovens are enhanced strength and thermal-shock resistance, and a reduced thermal conductivity. The use of chamotte articles due to lamination leads to scaling and spalling, and increases the gas permeability of the structure and causes rapid wearing. The resistance of the brick is reduced with an increase in the volume of the coking chamber, and this equals 1.5–2 years.
In recent years a start has been made with the use of block concrete linings for the doors of coking ovens on the basis of concrete containing chamotte fillers and aluminous cements. The resistance of concrete blocks reaches 4–5 years or more. With block linings there is a reduction in the number of joints, ensuring mechanization of the installation and demolition of the lining, and a reduction in the time spent on lining operations.
Two types of Soviet designs are used for the doors of coke ovens with block linings. The most promising is the nonreinforced lining with removable components, permitting independent changing of the blocks, and repeated use.
Abroad, research is going on into reinforcement of blocks with metal fibers of special composition and the use of fused quartz for preparing the blocks.
