Prospects of Application and the Possibilities of Electric Modular-Launch Furnaces with a New Design of Heating System Refract. Ind. Ceram. (IF 0.494) Pub Date : 2020-09-19 A. I. Nizhegorodov
We perform the analysis of the methods aimed at improving the energy efficiency of the electric modular-launch furnaces for firing of vermiculite. The first method is reduced to the analysis of the energy efficiency of the original six-module furnace with heat emitters made of U-shaped nichrome and structural transformation of the furnace unit with reinstallation of the least efficient bottom module

Reduction of Dust Extraction from an Aspiration Hood via Mechanical Shielding Refract. Ind. Ceram. (IF 0.494) Pub Date : 2020-09-19 O. A. Averkova, A. B. Goltsov, K. I. Logachev, A. V. Minko
The article explores the dust dynamics in an aspiration hood equipped with various thin mechanical shields. A differential equation of motion of dust particles is used to calculate their trajectories, and the velocity fields of the air flow are calculated by the method of boundary integral equations. The influence of different mechanical shields on the maximum diameter of dust particles is determined

Phase Formation Processes in Natural Magnesium Silicates of Various Structures by Ammonium Fluoride Treatment Refract. Ind. Ceram. (IF 0.494) Pub Date : 2020-09-19 Sh. M. Sharafeev, V. M. Pogrebenkov
The processes of forsterite, enstatite, and talc treatment by ammonium fluoride have been studied. The phase-formation processes occurring during firing of fluorinated minerals were studied. It was established that structural silica of the minerals reacts with ammonium hydrogen difluoride with the formation of ammonium hexafluorosilicate, sublimation of which leads to removal of structural silica from

Cement-Free Refractory Concretes. Part 4. Refractory Concretes based on Silica Sol Binders Refract. Ind. Ceram. (IF 0.494) Pub Date : 2020-09-19 Yu. E. Pivinskii
Compositions, technology features, and the main properties of cement-free refractory concretes (CFRC) based on a silica-sol binder are considered. Concretes of high-alumina and corundum compositions of CFRC, as well as in the Al2O3–SiO2–SiC–C system predominate in this group. Improved thermal and thermomechanical properties of CFRC compared with the properties of LCRC are largely due to mullitization

Synthesis of Oxide-Based Materials with the Brownmillerite Structure of the CaO–Bi 2 O 3 –Fe 2 O 3 System Refract. Ind. Ceram. (IF 0.494) Pub Date : 2020-09-18 N. A. Lomanova
A single-phase material based on the complex oxide Ca2Fe2O5 doped with bismuth was synthesized by glycine-nitrate combustion. Characterization by x-ray diffractometry, helium pycnometry, scanning electron microscope, and elemental analysis showed that the material was isostructural to brownmillerite. The optimum temperature for the synthesis of the material was about 650°C and the material had thermal

A new approach is presented for processing leucoxene concentrate through vacuum silicothermal reduction of titanium and silicon oxides using commercial-grade silicon as a reducing agent. It is shown that reactions occurring during a high-temperature process are accompanied by formation of SiO gas resulting in desiliconization of leucoxene concentrate. The best desiliconization degree of 82% is achieved
