Abstract
Many factors often limit the application of currently available refractory materials. Such factors may include chemical attack, mechanical degradation, temperature limitations, and installation or repair issues. Additionally, energy losses may be associated with the above considerations as well as environmental impacts. The research objectives of this project are to develop innovative refractory compositions based on the spinel crystal structure or advanced alumino-silicate systems utilizing novel aggregates, binder systems (bonds), methods of phase formation, and refractory application systems. Efforts to this end and results to date are discussed along with future plans for industrial validation trials.
