Best Answer

They are materials , usually bricks, made with silicon oxides, that will withstand extremely high heat, without decomposition or chemical reaction.

e.g. Blast Furnaces are internally lined with refactory bricks to with stand tha 1100 oC temperature of the furnace. The metal shell/chassis of the furnace would melt. Outside these refractory bricks is a water jacket to prevent heat escaping, into the outside environment.

What are refractory mineral?

Refractory refers to inorganic non-metallic materials that above 1580 ℃ refractoriness. Refractory variety, usually divided according to the level of ordinary refractoriness refractory (1580 ~ 1770 ℃), advanced refractories (1770 ~ 2000 ℃) and grade refractory (2000 ℃ above); divided by the chemical properties of acidic refractories, neutral and basic refractories refractories. In addition, there are special occasions for refractories.


What is a refractory table?

A refractory table has leaves at ends, not in center....Expandable.The correct name is a refectory (dining hall) table. The answer is basically correct for that term. Refractory describes heat resistant and/or insulating materials used in kilns, furnaces, wood stoves, etc (e.g. refractory brick). I suppose you could make a table out of firebrick.

What are refractory oxides?

they are oxides that retains their physical strength at very high temperatures. this makes them suitable to be used as materials for things like crucibles and furnace linings. They can be subdivided into acidic, alkaline or neutral refractory oxides. an example is SiO2.


What are refractory minerals ad their significance?

refractory minerals are those minerals that contain refractory materials or elements. few example will make it clear but let us know what is refractory material. simply a material that can resist high temperature or pressure is a refractory material. e.g magnesium, zircon, etc. ASTM- American Society Of Testing Material defines the range of the temperature to be 1000 F and above that a material can tolerate to be refractory. so those mineral from which we can extract or is composed of refractory element are called refractory minerals( please see the definition of mineral). The major significance of these mineral is that they can produce such element or material that can be used as catalyst, in blast furnace, and in high temp. zone. was the ans satisfactory. anirban chowdhury geology
