The Use of Refractories in the Lining of Rotary Cement Kilns1

Resumo

The requirements and service conditions of the refractories used to line rotary kilns in the cement industry are examined and possible ways of using them more efficiently are discussed. Results obtained from an analysis of the durability of the linings and the properties of the refractories are used to propose a new classification for the factors that affect the service life of rotary kilns in the cement industry.
