摘要

A furnace for manufacturing silicon carbide comprises a broken ring (8) of raw materials in which is embedded a graphite electrical heating element (12). The ring (8) is free-standing and defines a central working space (32) in which is located a support (36). The furnace is enclosed by an annular wall (44) spaced from the ring (8) to define an annular working space. A track (38) is mounted on top of the wall (44) and a rotatable materials handling device (6) is mounted on the central support (36) and the track (38). Materials are discharged from an outlet (48) to form the ring (8) as the device (6) rotates. A geodesic dome roof prevents escape of pollutants to atmosphere.
