RECYCLING PRACTICES OF SPENT MgO-C REFRACTORIES

The recycling options of spent MgO-C refractories from an electrical arc furnace (EAF) have been evaluated. The economic, quality of spent refractories and products made from it, the ease of implementation of a recycling practice and the interest of steel melt shops were considered. It was decided that the best option of most EAF shops would be to recycle spent MgO-C refractory as a foaming sla...

Op-brhe140373 1917..1919

In recent years the scientific community has shown renewed interest in DISH. The article by Yaniv et al. [1] in this issue of Rheumatology describes the natural evolution of DISH, providing important new insights into this condition. The article presents a study that used CT, a highly sensitive three-dimensional imaging modality for assessing new bone formation, to identify DISH patients and ex...

THE ROLE OF CARBON IN REFRACTORIES

Some of the scientific principles underlying the role of carbon and graphite in graphitic refractories are considered, with emphasis on the graphite phase. The highly anisotropic nature ofgraphite is a key factor in its ability to modify the properties of oxide refractories, resulting in the potential for anisotropy in the subsequent graphitic composite, depending upon the fabrication condition...
