Abstract
With the continuous development of China's economy in the past years, the basic industries such as metallurgy and cement have been developed, which have promoted the research and development of refractories to make a remarkably progress in the past years. This paper has been reviewed the development of the refractories in China on the aspects of CaO containing refractories, refractory oxide-nonoxide composites, nano-technology, circumstance friendship refractories as well as recycle and utilization of the used refractories. Though there are still a lot of questions needed to investigate, the technologies have been remarkably progressed in the passed years, and it is considered that the research achievement and technologies can be realized in the following years.
