Analysis of Alkali Oxides Influence on the Microstructure of Refractory Grog

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development and subsequent production of these special kind of grog from raw materials available in the Czech Republic is one of the possibilities how to reduce income costs for the production of refractory materials with specific properties. The experimental work is focused on verifying the possibility of producing grog with increased alumina content from available raw materials. The raw materials are kaolins and claystones. To achieve a higher content of alumina in the grog, waste mullite dust is used. In order to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the grog, modifiers are used. Selected modifiers are expected to affect positively on the resulting density while maintaining the heat properties.
