Refractory Linings

1. A method for producing a lining material consisting essentially of refractory grains screened below 6 mm and selected from the group consisting of magnesite, dolomite, alumina, bauxite kaolin, silicon carbide, and quartzite, and from 2 to 15 percent by weight of the total solids content of a binder selected from the group consisting of bond clay, aluminate and chromate cements, phosphoric acid, spent sulphite liquor and carboxymethyl cellulose, and containing an additional content of a water suspension colloidal silica in a quantity corresponding to 0.4 - 4% SiO.sub.2 by weight of the solids content of the lining material and further containing carbonaceous material selected from the group consisting of coke, graphite, pitch, and silicon carbide, screened below 1 mm comprising mixing the carbonaceous material and the colloidal silica in the form of a water suspension, and subsequently intermixing the mixture thus obtained with the other ingredients.
