Abstract
The authors assess the possibility of using waste crysotile-asbestos products as base materials for ceramics used as thermal insulation in furnaces of the glass industry. The addition of varying quantities of kaolin, quartz sand, and other products to the base is discussed from the standpoint of optimizing such properties as ultimate compression strength and thermal conductivity. X-ray diffraction is used for structure analysis. Implementation of the ceramic as an insulating material in furnaces operating at temperatures up to 1300 degrees C has shown an appreciable increase in thermal efficiency over current materials.
