Physico-Chemical Principles of Crust Formation in a Rotary Furnace with the Use of a Technogenic Material Containing Normal Electrocorundum Sludge.

The formation of dense layers of slag crust in a rotary furnace when normal electrocorundum sludge is used in the charge to make mullite-corundum fireclay depends on the chemical-mineral composition of the charge and the components of the crust, wetting processes, and the effect of lower compounds of titanium on the physico-chemical processes which take place.
