    Fire clay in a furnace. Fire clay is a range of refractory clays used in the manufacture of ceramics, especially fire brick.The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines fire clay very generally as a "mineral aggregate composed of hydrous silicates of aluminium (Al 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2 ·2H 2 O) with or without free silica."

  7. Cremation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremation

    The chamber where the body is placed is called a cremation chamber or retort and is lined with heat-resistant refractory bricks. Refractory bricks are designed in several layers. The outermost layer is usually simply an insulation material, e.g., mineral wool. Inside is typically a layer of insulation brick, mostly calcium silicate in nature.

  8. Periclase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periclase

    Periclase. Fluorescent, long UV=light yellow. Periclase is a magnesium mineral that occurs naturally in contact metamorphic rocks and is a major component of most basic refractory bricks. It is a cubic form of magnesium oxide (Mg O). In nature it usually forms a solid solution with wüstite (FeO) and is then referred to as ferropericlase or ...
