In addition, the demand for refractory materials in the glass and cement industries is not as great as before. High-purity magnesia bricks, however, with the concept of low-carbon environmental protection becoming the main theme of society, many areas are practicing low-carbon environmental protection, as well as refractory materials. Many refractory materials that are polluting the environment are fading out of our lives. Green refractories have become the development trend and future of the refractory industry in 2016.
