Abstract

Sillimanite sand and zircon sand are the byproducts generated during the extraction of rare earth compounds from beach sand minerals. Sillimanite sand is relatively purer amongst all other alumino-silicate raw materials available in nature. In this present paper various uses of sillimanite and zircon beach sand in refractories are described. Sillimanite sand and zircon sand with alumina were used to develop various high alumina aggregates and mullite-zirconia aggregates by reaction sintering route. They are used in as received form or in the form of powder for shaped and monolithic application. It was observed that microstructure and high temperature properties are very much dependent on the chemical composition.
