Abstract
Carbonaceous deposition on the surface of steel cracker tubes in chemical plant for the thermal cracking of hydrocarbons is a serious problem. It is met, in the invention, by providing the surface with a refractory oxide coating by contacting the surface with a sol comprising an aqueous dispersion of substantially unaggregated primary particles, the sol being capable of conversion to a gel the bulk density of which being at least 40% of the theoretical density of the refractory oxide when measured at ambient temperature and the gel being convertible to the refractory material, converting the sol to the gel, and firing.
