The Czech Ceramic Society invites you to participate in:

REFRA PRAGUE 2024

The 22nd conference on modern refractory materials and key achievements in high-temperature technologies, which will take place in Prague from 22nd to 24th May 2024.

Venue: Czech Association of Technical Societies, Novotného lávka 5, Prague

The conference will deal with the following topics:

• Key raw materials: mining, use in ceramics, additives, recycling, strategic deposits
• Energy aspects of high-temperature processing of products: energy efficiency, environmental aspects, green processing, circular economy
• Refractory and thermal insulating materials processing – additive manufacturing – machine learning: metallurgy, glass production, chemical technology, building materials production, waste treatment and biomass applications
• Corrosion of refractory materials: influence of technology, fuels, aggressive environments
• Structure of refractory materials and their modification: nanomaterial application, refractories for future challenges, simulation techniques
• New qualities and grades of refractory materials: innovative trends and challenging quests for properties, zero-carbon grades
