Phase Composition and Physico-Mechanical Properties at Different Firing Temperatures of Ceramic Earthquake-Resistant Bricks with the Use of Ferro-Dust

Glass and Ceramics - Ceramic bricks based on low-melting clay and ferro-dust from self-disintegrating, low-carbon, ferrochrome slags, graded from M100 to M175, respectively, were obtained in the...     

Application of waste coal to the manufacture of heat-insulating materials

It was demonstrated that a waterproof material based on liquid glass can be obtained with the use of waste coal and a heat-insulating refractory material with enhanced physicomechanical properties can be prepared with the use of petrochemical industry wastes.     

Sintering quality of clay materials

The effect of montmorillonite on sintering of kaolin and kaolinite-montmorillonite argillaceous materials from East Kazakhstan is studied. It is established that the optimum quantity of the introduced montmorillonite (30%) intensifies the sintering of clay materials.
