Development of Refractory Industry in China with Restricts of Resource, Energy and Environment Facto

The development of refractory industry is closely related with resource, energy and environment. In order to realize the sustainable development, China's refractory industry should comprehensively exploit and utilize the raw refractory materials because of the shortage of some refractory raw materials resources; adjust the structure of refractory products to meet the needs for energy-savings in high energy consumption industries and develop new energy-saving refractory materials to reduce the energy consumption during refractories manufacturing processes;adopt high performanee chrome-free refractories and research the technologies of avoiding the formation of Cr6+ to minimize the negative impact on environment; utilize comprehensively the used refractory materials and reduce the mineral resource consumption, energy consumption,and waste solid emissions.
