83rd Conference on Glass Problems

Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings Volume 35, Issue 1, 74th Conference on Glass Problems S.K. Sundaram, Editor In continuing the tradition that dates back to 1934, this volume is a collection of 25 papers presented at the 74th Glass Problems Conference, October 14–17, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio. These papers are essential reading for all who need to stay abreast of the latest research in the glass manufacturing field. Content is grouped into the below five sections: Batching and Forming Glass Melting Modeling, Sensing and Control Refractories I Refractories II

This conference proceeding includes 18 papers.

The latest issue in the industry-leading Ceramic Transactions series The most up to date entry in the Ceramic Transactions series published by The American Ceramic Society (ACerS), Ceramic Transactions: Volume 270 delivers the newest research, data, and information relevant to advanced ceramics and composites, electronic ceramics, energy materials, biomaterials, environmental issues, waste management, and nanotechnology.

The book provides process engineers, an insight into refractories focusing on its importance and requirements in chemical process industries such as refinery and petrochemicals, syngas manufacturing, coal gasification, limestone calcinations, carbon black, glass, and cement production. Additionally the book discusses the refractory requirements for the CFBC boiler, and waste heat utilization process to generate steam. The book describes characterization of refractory material and selection process of the refractory for lining different equipments pertaining to the chemical process industry. The book covers refractory installation techniques, and the precautions to be taken during installation are discussed in detail along with the theoretical background. It explains the physical and chemical factors that influence the performances of refractory, mechanism of its degradation in service and emphasizes on the thermo-chemical and thermo-mechanical aspects and their role in that process . The content lays out different methods of monitoring Refractory lining conditions while the furnace is in operation and also elucidates few methods to repair the worn out lining without taking a shutdown. The scheme of investigation of a refractory failure is an added feature.
