Interaction of Zirconium Dioxide with Slag-Forming Mixture of a Crystallizer

摘要

The corrosive effect of the slag-forming mixture (SFM) of a crystallizer on monoclinic zirconium dioxide partially stabilized by calcium oxide or yttrium oxide was studied. It was experimentally established that zirconium dioxide stabilized with yttrium oxide had better corrosion resistance due to the low decomposition rate of the stable phase ZrO2-Y2O3 when exposed to SFM of the same composition.
