High-alumina chamotte with an Al2O3 content of more than 62% is a desirable raw material to produce high-alumina refractories. The production of high-alumina aggregate (chamotte) is carried out in various ways, using plastic or semi-dry technology for briquetting from commercial alumina and refractory clay. When grinding fused corundum, the dust containing 93–95% Al2O3 is formed; it is currently a substandard material. It is of interest to involve this waste product in the production of high-alumina chamotte. The developed technology allows obtaining the desirable material and utilizing production waste. In this project the briquetting parameters to produce high-alumina chamotte using corundum waste and refractory enriched kaolin were determined.
