Proceedings of the Unified International Technical Conference on Refractories (UNITECR 2013) : a collection of papers presented during the 13th biennial worldwide congress on refractories, September 10-13, 2013, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Product Description Proceedings containing 231 manuscripts that were submitted and approved for the 13th biennial worldwide refractories congress recognized as the Unified International Technical Conference on Refractories(UNITECR), held September 10-13, 2013. From the Inside Flap Latest advancements in refractory science, technology, education, and industrial practiceThe Unified International Technical Conference on Refractories (UNITECR) has become the premier international meeting dedicated to the study and advancement of refractory science, technology, education, and industrial practice. Each biennial conference draws together leading experts and pioneers in the field. They gather to share their findings and explore new research paths to solve the latest challenges in the field. This volume features 231 manuscripts that were submitted and approved for the 13th biennial UNITECR held September 2013 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Readers will discover groundbreaking findings as well as new and improved industrial materials and practices across a broad range of topics, including: Advanced testing, installation techniques, and equipmentCement and lime, monolithic, and iron and steel making refractoriesRefractories for glass, waste-to-energy processing and power, chemical processes, petrochemicals, and nonferrous metallurgyEnergy savings through refractory designSafety, environmental issues, and recyclingDevelopments in basic refractories and modeling and simulationNonoxide refractory systemsRaw material developments and global raw material issuesGlobal education in refractoriesUNITECR 2013 serves as a compendium of state-of-the-science developments in a field that has limited publications. It is recommended for manufacturers, scientists, engineers, and industry professionals who need to understand the science, production, and application of refractory materials. Moreover, many readers will discover information that is critical to advancing their own research investigations.
