The Purification and Adaptation of Termite Hill Clay for Furnace Lining by Graphite and Rice Husk Addition

This work has studied the possibility of purifying termite hill clay hydrometallurgically and subsequently adapting it for furnace lining by the addition of graphite and rice husk granules. A large quantity of termite hill clay was mined from a location on the campus of The Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Nigeria. The slurry obtained from the clay after washing in water was sund...

Laser Measurement System for the Refractory Lining of Hot Torpedo Ladles

This paper introduces the world’s first laser profile measurement system for the refractory lining of hot torpedo ladles, the LaCam®. The torpedo measuring system allows immersion of a laser head into a hot torpedo ladle with surrounding temperatures of more than 1,000°C. Benefits include improved safety, increased ladle availability and capacity, extended refractory life, and cost savings in e...

FAILURE MECHANISMS OF REFRACTORY LININGS FOR NONFERROUS FLASH SMELTING FURNACES

Although the flash smelting technologies use different furnace designs, the refractory linings are exposed to very similar aggressive environments and, as a result, the corrosion analysis results on one type of furnace could be generally applied to other furnaces of similar high temperature processes. Particularities regarding the different chemistries of the pyrometallurgical process and opera...
