Refractory Properties of Termite Hills Under
نویسنده
چکیده
The investigation centered on how additives such as graphite, asbestos varied at different percentages can affect the refractory properties of pure termite hills. Experimental analysis was carried out on such properties as refractoriness, porosity, permeability, thermal shock resistance, linear shrinkage, bulk density and specific gravity. Through pure termite hill has low refractoriness (1400C). This was enhanced by graphite addition to as much as 1700C and asbestos to 1600C for the purpose of furnace lining. Other properties were also found to have been improved upon.

متن کاملGeochemistry of Termite Hills as a Tool for Geochemical Exploration of Glass Sand in the Iraqi Western Desert
Sand glass deposits was located in the mid of the Western Desert of Iraq. It is situated within Rutba Formation (Ceno-manian). Ancient traditional mining method is still used in exploitation the unconsolidated white glass sand from glass sand quarry. The overburden thickness ranges from 2 to 4 m in average. Termite hills were observed around the glass sand quarry extending far from the quarry a...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملHIGH TEMPERATURE ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS
Abstract: A pulse-echo technique, based on ultrasonic "long-bar" mode (LBM) velocity measurements, working up to 1700°C is described. Magnetostrictive transducers and ultrasonic lines used in a 40-85 kHz frequency range are detailed. The conditions of choice of fundamental parameters (frequency, line geometry, sample size) are discussed in relation with the nature and the microstructure of ...
متن کاملThe effect of trees on preferential flow and soil infiltrability in an agroforestry parkland in semiarid Burkina Faso
Water scarcity constrains the livelihoods of millions of people in tropical drylands. Tree planting in these environments is generally discouraged due to the large water consumption by trees, but this view may neglect their potential positive impacts on water availability. The effect of trees on soil hydraulic properties linked to groundwater recharge is poorly understood. In this study, we per...
