This valuable handbook details the various monolithic refractories currently in use, and pays particular attention to their chemical and physical behaviors during manufacturing, installation, and the duty cycle. It addresses, from the practitioner's point of view, the critical aspects of reactions involved with the refractory body as it approaches the used temperature with the processing environment. To ensure optimum performance, it describes the application, installation, and design of refractory components. The handbook includes suitable tables and figures, and provides an historical perspective on the evolution of the refractory industry. Practicing ceramic engineers, scientists, raw material suppliers, and research and development personnel in the refractory manufacturing industry will find this book invaluable. Also suitable as a reference for courses in ceramic engineering specializing in refractories.
In recent years, scientific studies are carried out to find new refractory material. Having good mechanical properties under very high temperatures, refractories are widely used in industries like iron, steel, glass, cement and pottery. Researches are focused on monolithic refractory making because of their superior properties comparing to conventional firebrick refractories. Providing a mono-block body, having no joints makes the monolithic refractories more durable at elevated temperatures. Easier production and installation are two main points that people are choosing monolithic refractories, thus an economy is made. In this study, for monolithic refractory production, high alumina cement was used as binding material. It is known that the increase in alumina (Al2O3) content increases the high temperature resistance, so that crushed firebrick, having 85% Al2O3 was used as aggregate. Pozzolanic materials, which are silica fume, fly ash, ground granulated firebrick and ground granulated blast furnace slag, were added to improve physical and mechanical properties of mortar. With the addition of steel fibres, change in compressive strength and flexural strength was observed. Superplasticizer was used to understand its behaviour under high temperatures. Portland cement containing mortars were also prepared to make comparison with high alumina cement containing specimens. Specimens were prepared in 5x5x5 cm and 4x4x16 cm prisms. They were cured for one day at curing room, then heated to 105°C and then heated to 1100°C. Weight, size and ultrasound velocity change, compressive strength and flexural strength tests were done to determine physical and mechanical properties of the monolithic refractories, before and after heating. Heated and non-heated specimens were pulverized for microstructural investigation with X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method. Using high alumina cement with 50 6 60 % granulated blast furnace slag or granulated firebrick, by the weight of cement, and crushe.
In this valuable handbook, various monolithic refractories currently in use are described in detail, with particular attention paid to their chemical and physical behaviors during manufacturing, installation, and the duty cycle. Critical aspects of reactions involved within the refractory body as it approaches the used temperature within the processing environment are addressed from the practitioner's point of view. To ensure optimum performance, the application, installation, and design of refractory components are described in detail. In short, the book contains a comprehensive discussion on monolithic refractories concerning their formulation, manufacture, and use. The information is most current, with suitable tables and figures. Also, historical perspectives on the evolution of the refractory industry are provided. This book is primarily designed to serve as a handbook for practicing ceramic engineers, scientists, raw material suppliers, and research and development personnel in the refractory manufacturing industry and industries associated with high temperature material processing. It may also be used in courses for ceramic engineering students specializing in refractories.
