Magnesia Raw Material Resources of Uzbekistan for Refractory Production
摘要
This study investigates the chemical and mineralogical composition of magnesia raw materials, with particular emphasis on serpentinites from Uzbekistan. Their suitability for refractory production was evaluated using magnesia–silicate and magnesia–iron ratios. The physico-mechanical properties of fired test specimens were examined at 1000°C and 1100°C. The findings confirm the feasibility of utilizing domestic serpentinites for the development of magnesia refractory materials.
