Minerals Processing

The growing use of engineered raw materials in most industrial processes, now requires to beneficiate minerals with high temperature treatments. As a consequence, the Mineral Processing industry is in need of improved refractory linings to handle the high abrasion and chemical stresses without incurring increasing maintenance costs

The geographical pattern of the mineral processing activities has shifted towards BRIC countries where large raw material sources are located but also where demand for transformed products is growing rapidly.

In particular, the cement market has changed in recent years along with the growing needs of emerging countries for construction work and improved infrastructure.

Cement manufacturing requires very high temperatures and frequent maintenance of equipment.
