Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Abstract

Using the method of Gibbs energy minimization, a computer-aided thermodynamic simulation of phase and chemical transformations in the MgO – C – Al – H2O – air system at 298 – 2400 K is carried out to describe the behavior of a carbonized periclase material with an Al-based antioxidizing additive. The effect of temperature and environmental atmosphere on phase and chemical transformations in the material bulk and material's pore space is studied. The properties of a carbon matrix doped with aluminum are discussed.
