silica brick

The company is the only producer of silica bricks in Russia.

Refractories can be made of silica brick, though aluminosilicate is a more expensive option.

Others include fireclay, silica brick, and carbon brick.

In the glass industry, silica brick is used in the roof of most furnaces, though aluminosilicate is a more expensive option.

Silica bricks are the most common type of bricks used for the inner lining of furnaces and incinerators.

Ganisters are indurated, fine-grained quartzose sandstones, which can be used in the manufacture of silica brick.

A former quarrying village, quicklime and silica brick production centre, its fortunes rose and fell as a result of the industrial revolution within South Wales.

"The Silica Brick and its Inventor, William Weston Young."

The plant has its own deposit of crystalline quartzite (Karaulnaya mountain), suitable for production of high quality silica bricks, milled qurtzite.

A ganister is hard, fine-grained quartzose sandstone, or orthoquartzite, used in the manufacture of silica brick typically used to line furnaces.

Ganister was the material that was mined, this is a type of hard sandstone used in the manufacture of silica bricks used to line industrial furnaces.

JSC Dinur exports silica bricks for coke ovens to Algeria, Egypt, Czech, Poland etc.

It was at one time the world's largest producer of refractory material (silica brick), with three plants - General Refractories, United States Refractories and Harbison Walker.

The last nail in the coffin came when the silica brick plants in Mount Union converted to oil and gas and not enough coal could be sold to support the mines and the railroad.

Upon reaching Xanthus, a desert region outside the Mare Cimmerium, Jarvis and Tweel find a line of small pyramids tens of thousands of years old made of silica bricks, each open at the top.

Large plants for the manufacture of silica brick were developed at Mount Union around the turn of the 20th century, and these became major customers for coal and also for ganister rock, which was quarried at multiple points along the railroad.

Subsequently Penwyllt also supported the Penwyllt Dinas Silica Brick company, which quarried silica sand at Pwll Byfre from which it manufactured refractory bricks, a form of fire brick, at the Penwyllt brick works (closed 1937 or 1939).

An economically valuable deposit of silica sand was worked near Pwll Byfre for many years and transported by tramroad to make refractory bricks ('firebricks' or 'silica bricks') at the nearby Penwyllt Dinas Silica Brick Works.
