Magnesium oxide suitable for the use in basic refractories was prepared from dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) by hydrochloric acid leaching, precipitation with CO2 and thermal hydrolysis. Leaching of the dolomite ore in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution was investigated with respect to the effects of time on dissolution of the dolomite sample. The dependence of the observed dissolution rate on pH was est...

New abundance tables have been compiled for Cl chondrites and the solar photosphere and corona, based on a critical review of the literature to mid-1988. The meteorite data are generally accurate to +5-10%. Significant discrepancies between Sun and meteorites occur only for Fe, Mn, Ge, Pb, and W; other well-determined elements agree to &90/o on the average. There is no evidence for group fracti...

Abstract—Ultrasonic machining is one of the most widely used non-traditional machining processes for machining of materials that are relatively brittle, hard, and fragile such as advanced ceramics, refractories, crystals, quartz etc. Present article has been targeted at investigating the impact of different experimental conditions (power rating, cobalt content, tool material, thickness of work ...
