Effects of Aluminum, Silicon And Ferro Silicon Anti Oxidants in MgO C Refractories
Authors
Abstract:
Three different materials (aluminum, ferro -silicon and silicon) were used as antioxidants in order to prevent the decarburization process and to keep and/or increase the final properties in MgO-C refractories. Their effects were compared by measuring the physical and mechanical properties as well as oxidation and the resultant phases and microstructures, in the temperature range of 200-1600 °C. High temperature oxidation was measured up to 1000 °C. The impurities of the aluminum and silicon powders were less than 1%. The ferro-silicon contains 2-5% Al, and 10-20% Fe. Results indicate that the oxidation of the samples were much better in the ferrosilicon than aluminum and silicon cases. The CCS measurements indicate more improvements due to the effects of ferro-silicon than silicon case. Results indicate that aluminum is more effective at low temperature. However, at higher temperatures, the other two anti-oxidants are more effective. The phase analysis indicates that the reaction of M2S phase with other phases might cause some reduction of high temperature behaviors. Also, Phase analysis indicates the formation of MgO-FeO/Fe2O3 phase, aluminum and silicon carbides as well as Spinel phase in the samples.

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...

Anti-Virus in Silicon
Anti-virus (AV) software is fundamentally broken. AV systems today rely on correct functioning of not only the AV software but also the underlying OS and VMM. Thus proper functioning of software AV requires millions of lines of complex code – which houses thousands of bugs – to work correctly. Needless to say, and as evidenced in numerous software AV attacks, effective software AV systems have ...

Aluminum and silicon are usually abundant in the soil and most plants are affected by them. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of the interaction of Si (0 and 2 mM) and low concentrations of Al (0, 50, 100, and 150 µM) on some physiological parameters of Zea mays var. Merit were investigated and were analyzed by cluster heatmaps for better interpretation of results. Results showed that...
