Yurkov A. Refractories for Aluminium: Electrolysis and the Cast House

Springer Cham Heidelberg New York Dordrecht London, 2015, XIII, 254 p. 144 illus., 56 illus. in color. — ISBN: 978-3-319-11441-5, ISBN: 978-3-319-11442-2 (eBook).Reveals the peculiarities of physical chemistry in aluminium production
Summarizes specific requirements for the properties and structure of refractory materials
Addresses contradictory concepts on lining of reduction cells - thermal balance and good refractory materialsThis book details the peculiarities of the requirements for refractories designed for aluminium metallurgical process: reduction, cast house, and anode production. The author describes requirements specific to the properties and structure of refractory materials that differentiate it from the refractories for ferrous metallurgy and other refractories. A comparison is drawn between the properties and structure of refractories and carbon cathode materials from different points of view: from the point of physical chemistry and chemistry interactions during the metallurgical process and from the point of design of reduction pots and furnaces with the aspect to the service life time of metallurgical aggregates.Content Level » Professional/practitioner
