There are hydrometallurgical applications in which metallic materials are either unsuitable or uneconomic for process reactor vessels. In these applications, non-metallic corrosion-resistant lining systems consisting of refractory materials and impermeable membranes are used to protect the vessel pressure boundary from corrosion. This presentation highlights the suitability of various chemical-resistant refractory materials including aluminum oxide-based bricks and mortars, silica-based bricks and mortars, carbon or graphite bricks, and silicon carbide materials for hydrometallurgical processes. This presentation also focuses on non-metallic membranes, including vinyl ester resin FRP, synthetic rubber, polymer (e.g., PFA, PTFE, ECTFE), and bituminous mastics.
