Slag Attack of Firebrick in a Tin Smelting Furnace

  • Chapter
Industrial Applications of the Mössbauer Effect

Abstract

A combined tin-119 and iron-57 Mössbauer study has been made of the slag and an aluminosilicate hearthbrick taken from a reverberatory tin furnace. Three distinct tin(II) glassy phases were observed, one of which also contains iron(II) and appears to be the phase responsible for the attack on the furnace hearth. Some SnO2 was also found to have penetrated 4cm past the reaction zone in the brick, presumably by vapor transport.
