Performance of Heat-Insulating Materials Doped with Basalt Fibres for Use in Mines

To solve high-temperature-induced hazards in mines, heat-insulating materials were prepared by utilising basalt fibres and high-strength ceramsite combined with cementing materials. Through orthogonal tests and data analyses, the optimal combination of the heat-insulating materials doped with basalt...
