REFRACTORY LINER AND LINING METHOD FOR A VERTICAL SHAFT METALLURGICAL VESSEL

摘要

A liner (32) and lining method for a vertical shaft metallurgical vessel (30). The liner (32) includes a working lining (50) within the shell of the vessel (38) and a secondary lining (42) exhibiting fluid properties, such as a dry-vibratable refractory lining, between the shell (38) and a portion of the working lining (50). The lining method includes the steps of providing a working lining (50) within the shell (38) of the vessel (30) and providing a secondary fluid refractory lining (42) such as a dry-vibratable refractory lining between the shell (38) and a portion of the working lining (50). The secondary lining (42) provides as a barrier to any molten metal and slag that may penetrate through the working lining (50) and may assist in prolonging the operating life of the working lining (50).
