本文是应英国耐火材料协会继任会长的邀请,在富兰克·斯考特·拉塞尔*纪念会上的演讲稿。前几年耐火原料,特别是锆石、石墨和红柱石市场需求上涨。可以通过开发替代原料,例如氧化铝材料,来缓和市场紧张状况。中国是世界耐火原料市场的主要供应国,控制着世界石墨市场和价格。中国还与圭亚那一起,控制着耐火矾土。南非是世界锆石、红柱石市场的主要供应国。耐火原料的主要用户是钢铁工业,其次是玻璃工业、水泥工业和其它需要热熔窑的工业。
This article is a speech at the Frank Scott Russell Memorial Party at the invitation of the successor of the British Refractories Association. The demand for refractory raw materials, especially zircon, graphite and andalusite, has increased in the past few years. The market tension can be mitigated by developing alternative raw materials, such as alumina materials. China is the world’s major supplier of refractory raw materials and controls the world’s graphite market and prices. China, along with Guyana, controls refractory alumina. South Africa is a major supplier of zircon and andalusite in the world. The main users of refractory materials are the steel industry, followed by the glass industry, the cement industry, and other industries that require thermal melting kilns.
