Proceedings, Meeting of refractory experts and Annual alumni meeting of the Institute of Ceramic, Glass and Construction Materials in Freiberg, Germany, 7 May 2004.

Paper include: Recent trends in refractory technologies for BOFs in Japan, by Asano K., p.6-12, 12 refs.; The cement rotary kiln and its refractory lining, by Bartha P., 14-17, 3 refs.; Ecologic refractory management in Europe, by Eschner A., p.30-38, 1 ref.; The refractory industry in Vietnam, by Do Minh Dao, p.40-44; and New materials produced from mineral slags, by Hessenkemper H., Hohne D., Nadolny A., Lobig R. and Bienarz P., p.46-51, 5 refs., giving details of a new process for melting, forming and refining high-quality vitreous products. Other topics are filter and feeder approaches for casting, high-purity calcium aluminate cement, synthetic alumina for steel ladle linings, isostatically pressed product for steel continuous casting, high-temperature wettability in oxide- and carbon-based refractories, and insulation of ladle-tundish systems.
