This paper addresses the problem of the development of a lining wearing uniformly in service, providing a long service life, and promoting the occurrence of autogeneous processes. The lining design developed is proposed for use in the furnaces for melting in a molten bath at a copper melting plant. The refractories investigated were MP dense periclase, MPM fused periclase-based magnesite, KhM chrome-magnesite, PKhS periclase-chromite roof, PShS periclase-spinellide, PKhPP fused periclase-chromite-base periclase-chromite, KhPT heat resistant chromite-periclase, VG high alumina, and ShM chamotte. The properties of the refractories are presented. It was established that the periclase-chromite refractories produced from fused material show the greatest life in the lining of furnaces for melting in a molten bath. A method of production of fused chromite-periclase was developed and a designed combined lining of a furnace with the use of highly resistanct refractories was presented.
