Hydration reaction of alkaline refractory castables

Alkaline refractory castable usually refers to refractory castable containing magnesia, also known as magnesia refractory castable. In order to meet the requirements of smelting clean steel, reduce slag penetration and improve thermal shock resistance, etc., it can be divided into a variety of products. Common such as magnesium-chromium (MgO-SPINEL) refractories, magnesia-alumina refractories , magnesia alumina refractories, magnesia-alumina titanium refractories and MgO-CaO refractories. The main component of the alkaline refractory castable is MgO, which easily dissolves calcium ions Ca2? and magnesium ions Mg2 , which will aggregate the highly dispersed high-aluminum fine powder and silicon powder and other active substances, resulting in too fast hardening speed and shortening the usable time , It is difficult to obtain dense construction (casting) body. The solution is to select the best binder to block these cations to control the aggregation rate of the acti...
