Properties of Heat-Insulating Materials (A Review)

Heat-insulating materials for the lining of aluminium electrolysis cells based on diatomite, vermiculite, perlite, and calcium silicate are briefly reviewed. Data on heat conductivity of these materials over the range 200-800 C are given, with emphasis placed on the behaviour in the electrolysis bat...

Description
Summary:Heat-insulating materials for the lining of aluminium electrolysis cells based on diatomite, vermiculite, perlite, and calcium silicate are briefly reviewed. Data on heat conductivity of these materials over the range 200-800 C are given, with emphasis placed on the behaviour in the electrolysis bath. Properties of heat-insulating materials available from domestic and foreign manufacturers are discussed in terms of the classification temperature and safe operating temperature.
