Development of refractories for the pyro-processing (heat-based) industry in Nigeria through the evaluation of mixtures of Enugu Iva-Pottery clay, Nsu-clay and palm kernel shell waste
Abstract:The energy demand is on the global increase as the world economy is increasing steadily. Hence, the need to develop energy-saving technology with local raw materials and abundant waste materials becomes paramount. The mixtures of Enugu Iva-pottery clay, Nsu clay and PKS were evaluated to improve the quality of locally produced refractory for pyro-processing industries. The chemical and mineralogical composition of the PKS and the clay were determined. Eight recipes were made by varying PKS with quartz from 5 t… Show more
