Heat proof glasses and glassceramics production based on natural raw of Armenia

N Investment project title Heat proof glasses and glassceramics production based on natural raw of Armenia
1. Sector

Inorganic materials technology, covers for chemical equipment, terminal shields and substrates

2. 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.
