Reaction between zinc oxide and chamotte refractories ...
As a result of chemical reaction between chamotte and zinc oxide, zinc aluminate ZnAl2O4 and zinc silie Zn2SiO4 are mullite is not chemically resistant under the action of zinc oxide. Even at 900°C mullite reacts with zinc oxide, forming ZnAl2O4 and accordance with the quantity of melt formed in the refractory under the action of zinc oxide, highalumina .
