What are applications of dead burned magnesia?

Refractories Magnesia ( dead burned magnesia) is widely used in the steel industry as a refractory brick often impregnated with carbon (tar, pitch, graphite) to give optimum properties for corrosion resistance in environments of basic slags, particularly in BOF furnaces or slag lines of treatment ladles. Magnesia bricks often in combination with spinel or chrome are also used in ferroalloy, non-ferrous, glass and cement industries. Castables and sprayables based on magnesia are widely used for basic refractory linings for steel transfer applications. The lime to silica ratio present in the magnesia has a major influence on its properties.
