Fireclay refractories____________________?

Correct answer: E. All A., B. and C.

  • A. Are not resistant to the action of basic slags
  • B. Combine with salts (e.g. chlorides sulphates etc.) & bases (e.g. lime, magnesia etc.) forming
  • C. fusible aluminates silicates etc
  • D. Shrink during firing
  • E. All A., B. and C.

Explanation

Fireclay is an alumino-silicate acidic refractory, so basic slags and alkaline salts can form low-melting compounds with it. It also undergoes shrinkage during firing, making all three statements valid.
