Engineering, Manufacturing, and Servicing of Shaped and Unshaped Refractories Based on Highly Concentrated Ceramic Binding Suspensions

摘要

An analysis is made of the many years of experience in designing and improving industrial technologies which use quartz-glass HCBSs (highly concentrated ceramic binding suspensions) and high-alumina composite HCBSs to make shaped and unshaped refractories that are effective products for customers and sources of profit for manufacturers. Long before the current boom in nanomaterials, HCBS-based technologies employed elements that are part of nanotechnologies now in widespread use and are responsible for the high technical-economic efficiency of these materials. The volume of commercial production (CP) of the refractories at the OAO "Dinur" jumped 55% from 2013 to 2014. CP volume in the first quarter of 2015 increased by factors of 2.7 and 2.0 compared to the same periods in 2013 and 2014. Over three decades of use of the above technologies, Dinur has produced roughly 180,000 tons of highly profitable refractories that in current prices are worth about 12 billion rubles.
