Title: Corrosion experience with a slurry-fed ceramic melter

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5228192

This report presents the findings of an investigation into the long-term performance of construction materials for joule-heated, ceramic-lined melters. The materials investigated include: the glass contact refractories, the melter electrodes, and the process off-gas containment materials. The corrosion rate and mechanism for these materials are presented. The report also includes the initial corrosion data from testing of improved effluent containment materials.
