Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

Shear Strength Durability Investigation for Gypseous Soil Enhanced by Pectin Biopolymer

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences
Several studies have shown that biopolymers improve soil; however, they mostly looked at how the shear strength and collapsibility improved without looking at how long the treatments would last.

Effects of Drying-Wetting Cycles on Soil-Water Characteristic Curve

open access: yesDEStech Transactions on Environment, Energy and Earth Science, 2016
Alternate drying-wetting cycle is considered to be one of the important factors that can affect the hydro-mechanical properties of soil. Due to the variability of climatic condition, soils are experienced by multiple drying-wetting cycles. But most of the previous studies on soil physical and mechanical properties are limited to a single drying-wetting

Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion

Modelling the thermo-mechanical volume change behaviour of compacted expansive clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Compacted expansive clays are often considered as a possible buffer material in high-level deep radioactive waste disposals. After the installation of waste canisters, the engineered clay barriers are subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical actions in the ...

Impact of Pre‐Oxidation Treatments on a Recycled MgO/Steel‐Composite as Carbon Free Anode in Aluminum‐Electrolysis Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Cermets (60 vol.% AISI 316L stainless steel, 40 vol.% recycled MgO), intended for use in aluminum electrolysis, were pre‐oxidized in three furnaces with different heating technologies and subjected to a cryolite corrosion test. The different atmospheres influenced the formation of oxide layers, which in turn affected corrosion resistance and ...
