Project description |
Materials synthesized from glasses and glassceramics can be used as heat-resistant pipes, heat exchangers (thermal technology), for coating of pumps and deflections (mining-chemical industry), as abrasion resistant materials (textile industry), corrosion resistant and wear-proof. A ceramization technology for heat-resistant cordierite glasses of a new composition and glass-crystalline materials by the two-step procedure of ultrabasic rocks heattreatment (serpentinites, dunites, peridotites), nepheline syenites and quartzites is suggested. The fact that the developed technology is a low-temperature one will allow to decrease the corrosion of refractory and to extend the useful life of furnaces in new houses and for heat-treatment. The technology is non-waste and environmentally friendly. |
