Carbon refractories_____________________?

Correct answer: B. Are not attacked by slags, as they are not wetted by melts

  • A. Do not burn/oxidise, when exposed to air on heating
  • B. Are not attacked by slags, as they are not wetted by melts
  • C. Do not resist temperature fluctuations
  • D. Have extremely low thermal & electrical conductivities

Explanation

Carbon refractories are poorly wetted by most molten slags, so slag penetration and attack are limited. They do oxidise in air at high temperature and have relatively high thermal and electrical conductivities, making the other statements unsuitable.
