The scientific activity of the Department is carried out within the framework of the initiative research project K0703 “Refractory Cements Based on Compounds of Alkaline-Earth Elements,” 2024–2027 (Project Leader – Head of the Department, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Senior Researcher Alla KOROHODSKA).
The research is expected to result in the development of a theoretical concept for modifying alumina cements with oxides of alkaline-earth elements in the (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Co, Ni)O–Al₂O₃ system. The proposed concept will provide a basis for developing multifunctional-purpose binders with a predetermined phase composition and a targeted set of performance characteristics, using chemical industry waste as raw materials.
