Evolution of domestic refractory sector caused substantial change of quantity and type of raw materials used in this industry in the last decade. The most important features were: diminishing use of domestic raw materials, significant changes in quantity, geographic structure and quality of raw materials traditionally imported, as well as introduction of new imported raw materials. All these changes are analysed in the paper. As a result of this analysis, forecast of mineral raw materials utilisation in Polish refractory industry in the nearest future is presented.}, type={article}, title={Forecast of mineral raw materials utilisation in domestic refractory industry in the nearest future}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/132863/PDF/3_GSM_16_4_2000_Galos_Forecast.pdf}, keywords={mineral raw materials, refractory industry, domestic refractory minerals, raw materials imports, forecast ofminerals usage}, }
