Abstract

The development of the refractory materials for the hightemperature zone of the rotary kilns used in the cement industry which is the second-largest refractory materials consumer was represented in the article. The history of the refractory materials using in this high-temperature zone of rotary kilns was traced from the alumina-silicate materials down to the purposely designed periclase-based materials which are used at the present time. The advantages and drawbacks of these materials application are regarded. The basic facts are given on the cement clinker production in order to take into account the possible chemical reactions between the raw batch mixture inside the kiln and the refractory materials components. Ill. 10. Ref. 56. Tab. 1.
