Conclusions
In order to increase the productivity of the furnace and ensure better melting, it is necessary to exclude the energy-consuming, endothermic process of decomposition of magnesite beyond the limits of the melting furnace.
The problem of improving the technology of obtaining periclase and increasing its quality requires the all-round solution of problems to do with optimizing the melting cycles, crystallization and cooling schedules.
