All high-temperature industrial operations necessitate the use of refractories. Every reactor, transport vessel, and kiln is lined with a variety of refractory materials, including bricks, monolithic, and high-temperature insulating wool. Refractories perform three functions: mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation. They are fine-tuned and a careful selection of raw materials and processing methods are used to tailor them to each specific use. Innova

The main raw materials used in the manufacture of refractories are silicon, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, and zirconium oxides. Carbides, nitrides, borides, silicates, and graphite are examples of non-oxide refractories. Refractories are chosen based on the conditions they will be e

Novel refractory material for High- Temperature, High- Alkaline Environment The use of traditional refractory materials is restricted by factors that reduce the energy efficiency of the process, such as: chemical reactions, mechanical degradation caused by the use environment, temperature and installation restrictions, and expensive maintenance costs. Decreased insulation performance of refractory materials will increase process heat loss, and frequent maintenance requires c
