Preface
The idea of this book came during my visit to the cement plants in India. In the course of the discussion with process engineers, I found a lot of misconception people were carrying about refractory. For example, people in operation think that the best quality of refractory should have very high cold crushing strength. The other things encountered in my numerous visits to the different cement plants include the fact that any premature campaign life of refractories are always attributed to the quality of refractories only, whereas the statistics say that most of the problems related to refractory are associated either with the defective installation of refractories or with operational problems. This mostly happens because in cement industries, the process people mostly have a background of either chemical or mechanical engineering and normally, at least in India, the refractory is not a part of the curriculum, as a subject, in either of the courses. On the other hand, although refractory plays a very crucial role in the successful operation of a cement plant, due importance is not attributed to refractory, as a subject, possibly because cost wise, it is not very significant, compared to total cement plant operational cost, although the refractory problem can cau
