	What is the difference in shape between an arch brick and a rotary kiln block? Also, what are the types, sizes and composition of brick used in the kiln?

	Composition is a variable. Depends on gasses in the kiln whether or not theres any material in actual contact with it, how its heated, and to what temperature. Also you could consider a moldable or castable refractory.
