Twenty-eight kinds of oxides, in amounts up to five weight per cent, were added into zircon in orderto investigate their effects on decrement of apparent porosity and dissociation of zircon refractoriesduring sintering at 1 500°C

3 had almost no effect on the dissociation of zircon at 1500°C.
When specimens contained these oxides were kept for two hours at 1600°C. The dissociation of zirconwas not affected by addition of BeO, ZnO, Fe
2O
3 nor NiO, whereas it was affected a little byaddition of Cu
2O or CO
2O
3, and markedly by addition of TiO
2.
The result of slagging test for specimens containing Fe
2O
3, ZnO, or Co
2O
3 was satisfied but that forCu
2O, or NiO was unsatisfied.
Conclusively, zircon refractories containing a little amount of Fe
2O
3, ZnO, or Co
2O
3 had lowerapparent porosity without little dissociation of zircon at 1500°C and had better result for slagging test.
