Conclusions
We identified the factors influencing the process of forming the nonmeltable heat-insulating layers of the block during the melting of brucite raw materials in an ore-thermic furnace designated OKB-955N.
A furnaee was proposed with a bath in the form of a triangular, truncated pyramid with rounded edges, facilitating a considerable reduction in the thickness of the nonmelting heat-insulating layer, especially the skin of the block, the specific consumption of raw materials and the volume of manual and mechanical handling operations, and also giving some improvement in the quality of the periclase.
The highest cost-benefit factors for operating the furnaces are obtained by combining the triangular baths with a forced melting cycle. The parameters for a high-capacity furnace with a triangular bath were worked out.
