TY - JOUR AU - Chernina, L. AB - UDC 666,1.031.29 I. A. Suslova, I. V. Timoshenko, and L. L. Chernina The Bakor refractory that is used in the glass industry for constructing the tanks of glass-makingfur- naces has the tendency to form blisters and seeds on reacting with the glass. One of the causes of this may be the presence in the refractory of oxides of iron and titanium, and also carbon. Oxides of iron and tita- nium are introduced by the raw materials; carbon is formed on melting the Bakor in electric arc furnaces having graphite electrodes. There are two methods for improving the composition of Bakor, and hence, its properties: purification of the initial material to reduce the content of iron and titanium oxides from 1 to 0.1%; and reduction of the carbon content by improving the production technology of the Bakor. We have performed studies in which Bakor was decarbonized by bubbling its melt with air and oxygen, by adding oxidants, by creating an oxidizing atmosphere over the melt [1], by degassing the melt under the action of ultrasonic vibrations [2], and by a method of secondary heat treatment. The given methods have a certain effect, but do not completely solve the problem.
