Abstract

The binder for monolithic refractories according to the present invention includes SrAl 2 O 4 ; SrAl 2 O 4 and 5 mass % or less of the remainder; or a mixture of SrAl 2 O 4 and Al 2 O 3 .

Claims (26)

1. A monolithic refractory, comprising a binder for monolithic refractories and a refractory aggregate, the binder consisting of SrAl 2 O 4 and 5 mass % or less of unavoidable impurities as a remainder, the refractory aggregate comprising an ultrafine alumina powder having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less, wherein

a crystallite diameter of the SrAl 2 O 4 is from 40 nm to 80 nm, and

the binder is present in an amount of from 0.5 parts by mass to 12 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a total amount of the binder for monolithic refractories and the refractory aggregate.

2. A monolithic refractory, comprising a binder for monolithic refractories and a refractory aggregate, the binder comprising a mixture of Al 2 O 3 and SrAl 2 O 4 , the refractory aggregate comprising an ultrafine alumina powder having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less, wherein

a crystallite diameter of the SrAl 2 O 4 is from 40 nm to 80 nm, and

the binder is present in an amount of from 0.5 parts by mass to 12 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a total amount of the binder for monolithic refractories and the refractory aggregate.

3. The monolithic refractory according to claim 2 ,

wherein the mixture comprises from 10 mass % to 60 mass % of the SrAl 2 O 4 and from 40 mass % to 90 mass % of the Al 2 O 3 .

4. The monolithic refractory according to claim 2 , wherein

the mixture comprises from 20 mass % to 50 mass % of the SrAl 2 O 4 and from 50 mass % to 80 mass % of the Al 2 O 3 .

5. The monolithic refractory according to any one of claims 2 , 3 and 4 , wherein the binder further comprises either a dispersant or a hardening retardant.

6. The monolithic refractory according to any one of claims 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 , wherein

Sr 3 Al 2 O 6 is present as an inevitable impurity in an amount of 3 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of SrAl 2 O 4 .

7. The monolithic refractory according to any one of claims 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 , further comprising at least one of a dispersant, a hardening retardant, and a hardening accelerator.

8. The monolithic refractory according to claim 7 , wherein

a hardening accelerator is added.

9. The monolithic refractory according to claim 7 , wherein

the dispersant comprises at least one dispersant selected from a group consisting of a polycarbonate-based dispersant, a phosphate-based dispersant, oxycarboxylic acid, a melamine-based dispersant, a naphthalene-based dispersant, and a lignin sulfonic acid-based dispersant;

the hardening accelerator is at least either a lithium salt or an aluminate; and

the hardening retardant is at least either boric acid group or silicofluoride.

10. The monolithic refractory according to claim 1 , wherein

the unavoidable impurities include at least one impurity selected from a group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 , MgO, SrO, and a strontium aluminate excluding the SrAl 2 O 4 .

11. The monolithic refractory according to claim 8 , wherein

the dispersant comprises at least one dispersant selected from a group consisting of a polycarbonate-based dispersant, a phosphate-based dispersant, oxycarboxylic acid, a melamine-based dispersant, a naphthalene-based dispersant, and a lignin sulfonic acid-based dispersant;

the hardening accelerator is at least either a lithium salt or an aluminate; and

the hardening retardant is at least either boric acid group or silicofluoride.
