STUDY OF THE STRENGTH OF CAUSTIC DOLOMITE-BASED MATERIALS

Abstract

Currently, the main reasons that inhibit the widespread use of magnesial binders are the insufficient production of caustic magnesite and caustic dolomite, the high cost and shortage of magnesium salts, solutions of which are used as caps. Dolomites can be widely used for the production of various refractory materials, in particular fluxes and metallurgical powders used in the steelmaking industry. In order to increase the production of refractory materials and their widespread use, it is necessary to develop offluxed dolomite compositions and technology for its extraction. It is necessary to study in depth the relationship between the composition of raw materials, technological conditions of production and physical and mechanical properties of the resulting materials.
