Oxygen for firing refractory materials

  • Published:
Refractories Aims and scope

Conclusions

Oxygen is an effective but costly means of improving the technical performance indices of the kilns used in the refractories industry. The adoption of this technique must be preceded by a thorough cost-benefit analysis. The most promising field is that of firing materials which do not sinter readily under standard conditions. The detailed development of the oxygen technology would call for the organization of a pilot section at the “Magnezit” plant for powder production by this method.
