Refractory Properties of Termite Hills under Varied Proportions of Additives
Journal Title: Leonardo Electronic Journal of Practices and Technologies - Year 2006, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
The investigation centered on how additives such as Graphite, asbestos varied at different percentages can affect the refractory properties of pure termite hills. Experimental analysis was carried out on such properties as Refractoriness, porosity, permeability, thermal shock resistance, linear shrinkage, Bulk density and specific gravity. Through pure termite hill has low refractoriness (1400ºC). This was enhanced by graphite addition to as much as 1700ºC and asbestos to 1600ºC for the purpose of furnace lining. Other properties were also found to have been improved upon.
