The recycling of refractory materials has been a minor focus in the chemical, metallurgical, and glass industries due to the demanding performance standards required, such as stability against corrosion and inertness when in contact with glass melts. Refractories typically have a limited lifetime because of corrosion at high temperatures, with chromium oxide and chromium oxide corund materials providing the longest lifespans. Waste from refractory production and usage arises mainly from cutting and grinding residues, refractories with limited contact with glass melts, and those affected by sublimation residues or condensates. These waste materials, classified as hazardous due to their chromium content, require effective recycling methods. This study employed arc furnace technology for the thermal treatment of these wastes to facilitate the recycling of refractory materials. The findings indicate that, despite the challenges presented by chromium-containing refractories, effective processing can lead to their reusability in new refractory formulations, thus promoting recycling and addressing environmental concerns associated with hazardous waste management.
