Thermophysical Characteristics of Furnace Tiles Obtained Using Galvanic Production Wastes

The results of research on the possibility of using galvanic sludge as components of the raw material composition for the manufacture of furnace tiles are reported and it is shown that the sludge affects the thermophysical characteristics of the articles. The introduction of the sediments of the industrial sewage from the galvanic production at Atlant JSC and Belorussian MetallurgicalWorks JSC in the amount 9% promotes the formation of ceramic structure with a rational ratio of the crystalline, liquid, and gas phases, which decreases the thermal conductivity of the material while preserving the required mechanical strength and heat resistance.
