Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
A method for making magnesite grain comprising mixing magnesium hydroxide slurry, lime yielding material and zircon in proportions sufficient to provide an MgO content between 85 and 95%, by weight, and calcining the mixture with subsequent dead burning to provide a grain consisting essentially of 2.5 to 7.7%, by weight, calcium zirconate, 2.4 to 7.4%, by weight, dicalcium silicate and the balance periclase.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 63 words
A method for making magnesite grain comprising mixing magnesium hydroxide slurry, lime yielding material and zircon in proportions sufficient to provide an MgO content between 85 and 95%, by weight, and calcining the mixture with subsequent dead burning to provide a grain consisting essentially of 2.5 to 7.7%, by weight, calcium zirconate, 2.4 to 7.4%, by weight, dicalcium silicate and the balance periclase.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
Method according to claim 1 in which an amount up to 10% by weight, calcium zirconate and dicalcium silicate are present in the grain.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
Method according to claim 1 in which the grain are characterized as having periclase crystallites surrounded by dicalcium silicate and finely crystalline calcium zirconate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
Method according to claim 1 in which the grain has a specific gravity of more than about 3.3.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
A refractory grain comprising 85 to 95%, by weight, periclase, 2.5 to 7.7% by weight, calcium zirconate and 2.4 to 7.4%, by weight dicalcium silicate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
A refractory grain comprising 85 to 95%, by weight, periclase, 2.5 to 7.7% by weight, calcium zirconate and 2.4 to 7.4%, by weight dicalcium silicate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 25 words
A grain according to claim 5, in which an amount up to 10%, by weight, calcium zirconate and dicalcium silicate are present in the grain.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 22 words
A grain according to claim 5 which is characterized as having periclase crystallites surrounded by dicalcium silicate and finely crystalline calcium zirconate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 16 words
A grain according to claim 5 which has a specific gravity of more than about 3.3.
