Data are presented on the chemical and mineralogical changes that take place in pitch-coke oven refractories during their life. The extensive chemical changes are brought about by the driving forces set up by cation concentration gradients and alkali absorption. They lead to changes in mineralogical structure and refractoriness and to various degrees of attack and erosion on the silica brickwork, which substantially shorten the useful life of pitch-coke batteries.
