SPP 1418: Refractory Initiation for Reduction of Emissions

耐火材料在所有高温应用中发挥着关键作用，涵盖了所有战略行业，如钢铁，水泥，玻璃，石化，能源工厂等。了解其机械，热，化学和功能特性，这些特性由其在纳米，微米和宏观层面的结构控制，然后在界面/表面进行化学和物理相互作用，是持续开发和优化的无限工具。如今，原材料价格的爆炸性增长以及与环境相关的限制对耐火材料公司提出了挑战，要求他们在材料设计、材料加工和产品功能方面不断开发创新方法。它们的性能以及它们的竞争力，特别是它们的可持续性与工业导向的受过良好教育的年轻工程师的可用性直接相关，因为他们理解耐火材料是多功能的先进陶瓷部件。不同科学学科在适用性方面的重点工作对于吸引年轻科学家和该工业部门的创新至关重要。德国研究共同体已启动了一项优先计划，在未来六年内通过桥接不同的材料学科并将耐火材料理解为多功能，活性，先进的陶瓷部件，在耐火材料领域进行适用的基础研究。主要目标是在高温应用中降低排放，这是由于耐火材料创新的影响，改进的热冲击氧化物材料和设计的开发以及钢铁冶金和能源部门应用领域的功能。

Refractories play a key role in all high temperature applications and cover all the strategic industries such as steel, cement, glass, petrochemicals, energy plants etc. The understanding of their mechanical, thermal, chemical and functional properties as controlled by their structure at nano-, micro- and macro-levels followed by chemical and physical interactions at interfaces/surfaces is an unlimited tool for continuous development and optimisation. Today the price explosion of raw materials as well as environmental related restrictions challenges the refractory companies for a continuous development of innovative approaches in material design, material processing and product functionality. Their performance as well as their competitiveness and especially their sustainability are directly interlinked with the availability of industrial oriented well educated young engineers by understanding the refractory materials as multifunctional advanced ceramic components. The focussed work of different scientific disciplines under the aspect of applicability is of a great importance to attract young scientists and for innovation in this industrial sector. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft has triggered a Priority Programme for the next six years for applicable basic research in the refractory area by bridging different material disciplines and understanding the refractory materials as multifunctional, active, advanced ceramic components. Main targets are lower emissions at high temperature applications due to the impact of refractory innovations, development of improved thermal shocked oxide materials and designs as well as functionality in the application area of steel metallurgy and energy sector.
