Description

  The present invention relates to a method for constructing an irregular refractory and a slurry used therefor.

  Construction with an irregular refractory is performed as a lining for molten metal containers, molten metal rivets, and the like. The amorphous refractory used for this consists of a blend obtained by adding a binder and a dispersant to a refractory raw material powder. At the time of construction, a predetermined amount of water is added and kneaded.

  The composition of the amorphous refractory is appropriately adjusted to coarse and fine refractory raw materials from the viewpoint of workability and fillability. In order to uniformly knead the refractory raw material powder, the binder and the dispersant, it is necessary to perform a kneading operation taking a sufficient time.

  However, in order to improve the operation rate of molten metal containers, molten metal slags, etc., which are subject to refractory construction, the construction is required to be quick and the kneading time cannot be secured sufficiently. Moreover, although a dispersing agent is added in order to provide the fluidity required at the time of construction of an amorphous refractory, if the kneading time is short, the dispersing action is inferior and the effect of imparting fluidity is inferior.

  As a solution to these problems, an appropriate amount of water is added to the refractory raw material fine powder and dispersant in the blended composition of the amorphous refractory, mixed to form a slurry, and this slurry is used during the construction of the irregular refractory. Has been proposed (Patent Document 1) in which kneading is combined with a refractory raw material aggregate powder and a binder.

  In the amorphous refractory composition, the refractory raw material fine powder has a matrix part composition. As in the above method, this refractory raw material fine powder is sufficiently mixed with the dispersant in advance when preparing the slurry, so that when the amorphous refractory is kneaded, even when the kneading time is short, it has excellent fluidity during construction, After the construction, a construction body having a uniform and tightly packed structure can be obtained.

On the other hand, the use of a continuous kneading apparatus is known as a method for quickly performing the kneading operation (Patent Document 2). This kneading apparatus has a rotating shaft with paddles (kneading blades) mounted horizontally in a casing, and batches that use a mixer by continuously kneading irregular refractories and discharging them after kneading. The kneading operation can be performed in a shorter time than the conventional kneading.

  In order to use the construction method in which slurry is prepared in advance and enable rapid construction required at the construction site, it is necessary to sufficiently disperse the refractory raw material fine powder with a dispersant. For this purpose, it takes time to adjust the slurry, but if it is performed at the construction site, the effect of speeding up the construction of the refractory is impaired. Therefore, it is necessary to bring the slurry adjusted at a refractory manufacturing plant or the like separate from the construction site to the construction site. And a truck, a lift, etc. are used for the transfer to a construction site.

  However, in this conveyance, the slurry separates the specific gravity between the water and the refractory raw material fine powder, and the refractory raw material fine powders of different types due to vibration accompanying the conveyance. When this separation occurs, in the kneading at the construction site, a sufficient kneading effect cannot be obtained by short-time kneading. As a result, the structure of the obtained construction body becomes non-uniform.

  Moreover, specific gravity separation also occurs when time elapses after the slurry is adjusted. For this reason, the slurry is difficult to make and cannot be adjusted in a large amount at a time, resulting in poor slurry productivity.

  As a means for preventing the separation of the slurry, addition of a thickener can be considered. However, simply adding a thickener reduces the breathability of the refractory construction body and tends to cause explosion during heat drying. In recent years, heat drying in a short time is required in order to improve the operation rate of a melting container or the like that is a refractory construction target, and the risk of this dry explosion is higher.

  An object of the present invention is to suppress slurry separation without causing dry explosion of a construction body in a refractory construction using a slurry prepared in advance.

A feature of the present invention is a slurry obtained by blending an aluminum lactate compound, a biogum thickener and a dispersant into a refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder, and adding and mixing water thereto , A slurry in which the amount of biogum thickener added is 0.005 to 0.5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder, together with the refractory raw material aggregate powder and the binder during refractory construction. It is the construction method of the irregular refractory which knead | mixes and constructs the obtained kneaded material, and the said slurry used for it.

  When the refractory construction body is heated and dried, the moisture in the refractory structure evaporates rapidly, and the construction structure is destroyed by the water vapor pressure at that time. Even when the explosion does not occur, the rapid evaporation of moisture causes the construction body structure to swell and the construction body strength decreases.

  In the present invention, an aluminum lactate compound is added to the slurry to prevent dry explosion. On the other hand, a biogum thickener is added to prevent separation of the slurry.

  The addition of aluminum lactate compounds is known to prevent dry explosion. That is, when the refractory construction body is cured and dried, the aluminum lactate compound causes shrinkage due to dehydration in the matrix portion of the construction body structure, and causes a fine crack caused by strain in the refractory structure. This fine crack serves as a water vapor escape path during the heat drying of the refractory construction body to prevent dry explosion.

In addition, organic fiber or metallic aluminum is known as a dry explosion prevention material. The organic fiber loses heat when the construction body is heated and dried, and forms a water vapor escape path in the construction body. On the other hand, metallic aluminum reacts with construction water, generates H ₂ gas, and improves the drying property by making the construction body porous.

  However, the organic fiber has a problem that it is difficult to uniformly disperse in the slurry when the addition amount is increased. In contrast, aluminum lactate is a powder and is easily dispersed uniformly in the slurry.

  Moreover, although metal aluminum is a powder, in this invention which adjusts a slurry beforehand, it reacts with a slurry water | moisture content and the effect of the dry explosion prevention at the time of heat drying of a construction body is not acquired. Even when aluminum lactate is added to the slurry, the explosion preventing effect on the construction body is not impaired.

  The aluminum lactate compound also has a thickening action at the same time. This thickening effect is small compared to the addition of a thickener, and the amount of aluminum lactate added to the extent that it is normally used is insufficient to prevent separation of the slurry. Increasing the amount of aluminum lactate can provide an effect of preventing the separation of the slurry, but both the corrosion resistance of the irregular refractory and the fluidity required during construction of the irregular refractory are reduced.

  In order to prevent the separation of the slurry, when a thickening agent such as cellulose is added, the thickening action of the aluminum lactate compound is also added, and the fluidity during construction of the irregular refractory is lowered. Moreover, since the fluidity | liquidity fall in this case is remarkable, the kneadability of an amorphous refractory also falls. As a result, the kneading effect is insufficient in short-time kneading, which causes unevenness of the structure of the construction body and a reduction in denseness.

  The present invention uses a combination of an aluminum lactate compound and a bio-gum thickener in a construction method for an amorphous refractory that is prepared by kneading a pre-adjusted slurry together with a refractory raw material aggregate powder and a binder during refractory construction. It is a thing. Thereby, in addition to the dry explosion prevention effect and the slurry separation prevention, a sufficient kneading effect could be obtained even in a short time kneading.

  This effect of the present invention, which cannot be expected from the application of a conventional biogum thickener, is considered to be exhibited by the following mechanism.

  That is, in the present invention, the biogum thickener prevents the separation of the slurry by the thickening action when the slurry is left standing or under slight vibration during transfer of a truck or the like. On the other hand, under the high shear stress experienced during refractory kneading, the thickening action of the biogum thickener is greatly reduced due to its pseudo plasticity. As a result, sufficient fluidity can be imparted to the irregular refractory material, uniform kneading can be performed, and a dense construction body can be obtained.

  In addition, the addition of aluminum lactate compound reduces the fluidity during construction of irregular refractories due to its thickening action, but biogum thickeners have fluidity during construction of irregular refractories due to their pseudo plastic properties. Combined with the effect of suppressing the decrease, the densified refractory construction body can be further densified.

  For example, a cellulosic thickener dissolves in construction water and improves the viscosity of the entire construction water, thereby improving the viscosity of the amorphous refractory. The addition of an aluminum lactate compound to an amorphous refractory structure results in a finely cracked structure when dried and, for example, the addition of a cellulosic thickener improves the viscosity of the entire construction water as described above. Dehydration is not easy and the drying property of the aluminum lactate compound is not fully utilized. As a result, dry explosion occurs in rapid heat drying.

  On the other hand, the biogum thickener is interposed between the particles of the amorphous refractory compound and thickens the amorphous refractory with its own viscosity, so the viscosity of the construction water is kept low. Moreover, even if the addition amount is relatively small, a sufficient thickening action is exhibited. This facilitates dehydration of the construction body during heat drying, and does not impair the dry explosion prevention effect of the aluminum lactate compound.

  A continuous kneading apparatus is known as one of the kneading apparatuses. This kneading device has a rotating shaft with a paddle mounted horizontally in the casing, and by continuously kneading the irregular refractory and discharging it after kneading, it can be used at construction sites where rapid construction is required. It is suitable for kneading. However, since the kneading time is short, kneading with this apparatus is insufficient in kneading.

  On the other hand, when a continuous kneading apparatus is used for carrying out the construction method of the present invention, the biogum thickener contained in the slurry is subjected to the high shear stress of the paddle, and the irregular refractory is viscous due to its pseudoplastic characteristics Significantly decreases and exhibits sufficient fluidity necessary for kneading. In addition, the dispersant acts more effectively by using a slurry that has been mixed and adjusted in advance. As a result, even in short-time kneading with a continuous kneader, the kneading effect is excellent, and the construction method of the present invention using a slurry further contributes to the rapid construction of an irregular refractory.

  According to the method for constructing an irregular refractory according to the present invention, a dense and homogeneous construction body can be obtained from the preservation and separation prevention of slurry and the good fluidity of the irregular refractory during construction.

  Further, the explosion preventing effect of the aluminum lactate compound is not impaired.

  In addition, a sufficient kneading effect is exhibited even in a short time kneading. Thereby, when it combines with the continuous kneading apparatus which has the function of a short time kneading | mixing, speeding up of an amorphous refractory construction improves further.

  The slurry used in the present invention is a part of the kneaded product of the amorphous refractory in the construction of the amorphous refractory. Water is added to a blend containing a refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder, an aluminum lactate compound, a dispersant and a biogum thickener, mixed and adjusted.

  Examples of the refractory raw material powder mainly contained in the slurry include alumina, alumina-silica, magnesia, spinel, silica, zircon, zirconia, carbon, carbon black, carbide, nitride, and the like.

  The refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder preferably contains at least 90% by mass of refractory raw material powder having a particle size of less than 1 mm for the purpose of dispersing the fine powder by coexistence with a dispersant. More preferably, the content is at least 95% by mass. As the sieve, for example, a JIS sieve opening is used. A particle size of less than 1 mm is a sieve under a sieve having an opening of 1 mm.

  That is, as long as it is less than 1 mm, for example, it may be sieved with a sieve of 150 μm, 100 μm, 45 μm or the like. Or you may combine each particle size of the said sieving. In some cases, calcined alumina, volatile silica, and the like may be in submicron units, and the particle size may be determined, for example, as an average particle size by a laser diffraction method. Moreover, even when a refractory raw material exceeding 1 mm is included in part, it is preferable to use one having as small a particle size as possible.

  The amount of the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine particles prepared as a slurry is set to an amount commensurate with the proportion of the refractory raw material fine powder in the amorphous refractory composition. In order to obtain a densely packed refractory construction body, the ratio of the refractory raw material fine powder in the refractory raw material powder composition of the irregular refractory composition is preferably 20 to 60% by mass. When a part of the refractory raw material fine powder is contained on the refractory raw material aggregate powder side, the amount of the refractory raw material fine powder in the slurry is reduced accordingly.

  Specific examples of the aluminum lactate compound are aluminum lactate, basic aluminum lactate, aluminum glycolate, and aluminum citrate. The entire amount of the aluminum lactate compound is preferably added to the slurry in order to achieve dispersion, but a part of the aluminum lactate compound can be added together with the refractory raw material aggregate powder during kneading of the amorphous refractory. For example, one-fifth or less of the aluminum lactate compound may be added when kneading the amorphous refractory.

  The addition amount of the aluminum lactate compound is preferably 0.05 to 3 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder in the entire amorphous refractory composition. More preferably, it is 0.1-1.5 mass parts. If the addition amount is small, the effect of preventing dry explosion is inferior, and if it is too large, no further effect is seen in preventing dry explosion, and further, the corrosion resistance tends to decrease.

  The dispersant has the effect of dispersing the refractory raw material fine powder in the slurry and imparting fluidity during construction of the irregular refractory. The specific type is not particularly limited. For example, inorganic salts such as sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium ultrapolyphosphate, sodium acid hexametaphosphate, sodium borate, sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, sodium tartrate , Sodium polyacrylate, sodium sulfonate, polymetaphosphate, polycarboxylate, β-naphthalenesulfonate, naphthalenesulfonic acid, carboxyl group-containing polyether, and the like.

  The amount of the dispersant added is not particularly limited. In conversion to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder in the entire amorphous refractory composition, 0.01 to 1 part by mass is preferable. In the conversion amount with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder in the slurry, 0.025 to 2.5 parts by mass is preferable.

  The total amount of the dispersant is preferably added to the slurry, but a part of the dispersant may be added at the time of kneading the irregular refractory, or a part of the mixture of the refractory raw material aggregate powder and the binder. May be added.

  Examples of the thickener made of a water-soluble polymer compound include biogum, cellulose derivatives, guar gum, and derivatives thereof. In the present invention, a biogum thickener is used. The bio-gum system is a water-soluble natural polymer polysaccharide produced by a microbial fermentation method. Specific examples include xanthan gum, welan gum, gellan gum, and the like. Among these biogum systems, xanthan gum having particularly excellent pseudoplastic properties is preferred in the present invention.

The addition amount of the biogum thickener is 0.005 to 0.5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder in the slurry. If the amount is less than 0.005 parts by mass, the effect of preventing separation of the refractory raw material fine powder is poor. If the amount exceeds 0.5 parts by mass, the thickening action is excessive, making it difficult to dehydrate the molded body during heating and drying, and preventing explosion. Tends to decrease. A preferred ratio of the biogum thickener is 0.01 to 0.1 parts by mass.

  As long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, thickeners other than biogum may be used in combination. However, the amount is preferably such that the total amount of the thickener including the biogum thickener does not exceed 0.5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder in the slurry. More preferably, the total amount does not exceed 0.1 parts by mass.

  Water is added to the above refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder, aluminum lactate compound, biogum thickener and dispersant, and mixed to prepare a slurry. In the preparation of this slurry, the order of blending the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder, aluminum lactate compound, biogum thickener, dispersant and moisture is not limited.

  The amount of water is basically the amount of water necessary for kneading the entire amorphous refractory material including the refractory raw material aggregate powder, the binder and the like kneaded with the slurry. In consideration of the kneading effect and workability of the amorphous refractory, 3 to 10 parts by mass is preferable with respect to 100 parts by mass of the entire amorphous refractory composition. When this is converted into a ratio with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder used for slurry adjustment, it is 7 to 20 parts by mass.

  The amount of water required for kneading the entire amorphous refractory may be added not only from the slurry but also partially when kneading the irregular refractory. When a part is added at the time of kneading the irregular refractory, it is necessary to reduce the amount of water added during slurry adjustment. For example, more than two-thirds of the amount of water required for the construction of the irregular refractory is used for slurry adjustment, and the remaining amount of water is added when kneading the irregular refractory. In this case, from the viewpoint of workability, it is preferable to add the entire amount of water during slurry adjustment.

  The slurry is sufficiently mixed and adjusted beforehand with a mixer or the like, and then kneaded together with the refractory raw material aggregate powder, the binder and the like when kneading the irregular refractory. The particle sizes and types of the refractory raw material aggregate powder and the binder are not particularly limited, and may be those used in the conventional amorphous refractory composition.

  The particle size of the refractory raw material aggregate powder is, for example, 8 to 4 mm as the maximum particle size, and is appropriately adjusted to coarse particles and fine powders for use in close packing of the construction body. Since the fine powder portion is mainly supplied from the slurry, the particle size configuration is obtained by removing the amount of fine powder supplied from the slurry.

  The material of the refractory raw material aggregate powder is, for example, alumina, alumina-silica, magnesia, spinel, silica, zircon, zirconia, carbon, carbide, nitride, or the like, or a refractory waste material mainly composed of these.

  Examples of the binder include alumina cement, magnesia cement, and Portland cement. Of these, alumina cement is preferable from the viewpoint of fire resistance and strength. The addition amount is preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder in the entire amorphous refractory composition including the refractory raw material powder mainly composed of fine powder in the slurry.

  When kneading the irregular refractory, coarse refractory particles may be added. The material is, for example, an alumina or spinel sintered product, an electrofused product, or a refractory waste material mainly composed of these. The particle size is, for example, 9.5 to 45 mm. If the particle size is larger than this, the filling property of the construction body is lowered due to the poor balance of the particle size constitution, and in addition, kneading using a continuous kneading device may cause damage to the paddle.

  The proportion of the refractory coarse particles is 30 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the refractory raw material powder in the entire amorphous refractory composition including the refractory raw material aggregate powder and the refractory raw material fine powder supplied from the slurry. Preferably it is 25 mass parts or less. If the amount is too large, fluidity is lowered due to the poor particle size balance of the entire amorphous refractory, and the densification of the construction body is impaired.

  Moreover, you may add compounds other than having shown above in the range which does not impair the effect of this invention as a part of amorphous refractory composition. For example, Al powder, Si powder, metal fiber, organic fiber, ceramic fiber, antioxidant, curing agent, curing retarder and the like. Of these, addition of metal powder, water-soluble organic fiber, etc., which reacts quickly with water, to the slurry is not preferable. Others may be added to the slurry or added together with the refractory raw material aggregate powder and the binder during kneading of the irregular refractory.

  For example, an omni mixer, paddle mixer, Nauta mixer, Eirich mixer, or vortex mixer batch type or continuous kneader is used for kneading the irregular refractory at the refractory construction site. When the slurry according to the present invention is used, a sufficient kneading effect can be obtained even with a short kneading time. Therefore, using a continuous kneading device with a short kneading time greatly increases the speedy construction required strongly at the construction site of the amorphous refractory. Can contribute.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows a construction example using a continuous kneader. The main body of the continuous kneading apparatus is formed by horizontally placing a paddle in a horizontally long casing 1. The continuous kneader needs to have a function of sequentially discharging the irregular refractory after kneading at the same time as the irregular refractory. Although not shown in the figure, the paddle has a kneading function, but it can be provided with a conveying function by giving a certain inclination. When the paddle has only a kneading function, for example, screw wings are provided on the same rotating shaft as the paddle, and the irregular refractories after kneading are sequentially discharged. The rotation axis of the paddle is driven by the motor 10.

  The slurry 2 is supplied from the hopper 4 through the transfer pipe 8 to the casing 1 through the rotary pump 9. The refractory raw material aggregate powder and the binder 3 are supplied with a hopper 5. Moreover, when adding the refractory coarse particle 6, it supplies with the hopper 7 further.

  Here, the connection positions of the hoppers 5 and 7 and the transfer pipe 8 for supplying slurry to the casing 1 can be arbitrarily determined without being limited to the same figure. Moreover, when using the refractory coarse particle 6, you may add this refractory coarse particle 6, the refractory raw material aggregate powder, and the binder 3 in the same position.

  The amorphous refractory is kneaded in the casing 1 and then discharged from the front end of the casing 1 to be used for casting or spraying. Although not shown in the drawing, the continuous kneading apparatus and the work position are transferred through a squeeze pump, a piston pump, or the like as necessary.

  The unshaped refractory after kneading is applied by pouring, spraying, impeller projection and the like. In casting construction, it is preferable to increase the filling rate of the amorphous refractory by using a vibrator attached to a rod-shaped vibrator or a mold. In spraying or impeller projection, for example, a quick setting agent is added at the nozzle portion. Further, the construction is not limited to the direct construction for the molten metal container or the molten metal cage, but may be construction by a precast method using a refractory molded body obtained by construction.

The present invention and its comparative examples are shown below. Tables 1 and 2 show the composition of the slurry used in each example, and the ratios of the refractory raw material aggregate powder, the binder, and the refractory coarse particles kneaded in combination with this slurry. The test results are also shown.

  In the adjustment of the slurry, water was added to the slurry composition, and mixing was adjusted with a vortex mixer. This amount of water is an amount necessary for kneading the entire amorphous refractory composition. In the same table, the amount of water with respect to 100 parts by mass of the slurry composition and the amount of water converted in proportion to the whole amorphous refractory composition are shown.

  As the aluminum lactate compound, basic aluminum lactate of “Takibain (registered trademark)” product code M-160P manufactured by Taki Chemical Co., Ltd. was used. Among the biogum thickeners, “Kelzan (registered trademark)” manufactured by Sanki Co., Ltd. was used as xanthan biogum.

  A continuous kneading device (manufactured by Tomosada Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.), which is effective in speeding up the construction, was used for kneading the amorphous refractory. The slurry, the refractory raw material aggregate powder and the binder that were mixed and adjusted in advance were supplied to the continuous kneader. Moreover, the example which added the refractory coarse particle was also performed. These were kneaded at a speed of about 110 kg / min. Each test was performed as follows.

  Slurry separation prevention property: In order to examine the storage stability of the slurry, the degree of specific gravity separation after standing for 1 month was confirmed for 20 kg of the slurry after mixing adjustment. The same amount was loaded on a cargo truck and transported for 3 hours, and the degree of slurry separation against micro-vibration associated with slurry transportation was examined. A: Almost no separation is observed. ○: A separation tendency is observed, but the degree is slight. Δ: Separation is observed, and there is a concern about the influence of non-uniform refractory texture. X: Separation is remarkable.

  Dry explosion resistance: The kneaded product was cast in a cylindrical shape having a diameter of 100 × height of 100 mm to give a test piece. After curing this test piece, it was put into an electric furnace heated to 700 ° C. and tested for the degree of explosion. ○… No explosion. Δ: Explode. ×: Explosion is remarkable.

  Denseness: The kneaded product was cast by applying vibration to a size of 40 × width 40 × height 40 mm, cured, dried (110 ° C. × 24 hours), and then the porosity was measured.

  Construction body strength: The kneaded material was cast by applying vibration to a dimension of width 40 × height 40 × length 80 mm, cured, dried (110 ° C. × 24 hours), and then the bending strength was measured.

  Corrosion resistance: The kneaded material was cast while applying vibration to the mold, cured, dried (110 ° C. × 24 hours), then subjected to a rotary erosion test at 1500 ° C. for 10 hours, and the erosion dimension was measured. As the erodant, pig iron: blast furnace slag was used at a weight ratio of 1: 1.

  As shown in the test results in the table, the slurry having the composition within the scope of the present invention was not substantially separated even by the vibration that occurred during the storage and transfer for one month. As a result, even when the slurry is adjusted at, for example, a refractory manufacturing plant, the slurry can be transferred to the refractory construction site while maintaining a homogeneous state. Moreover, the productivity of the slurry is improved because the slurry can be stored for a long time.

  The kneading using the slurry having the composition within the range of the present invention shows that the amorphous refractory exhibits high fluidity due to the pseudo plastic property under the high shear stress by the kneading apparatus, and the slurry adjusted in advance. A sufficient kneading effect could be obtained despite a short time kneading using a continuous kneader. It also has excellent fluidity during construction. As a result, the obtained construction body is excellent in denseness, strength, and corrosion resistance.

  Moreover, the molded object constructed by the Example of this invention is excellent in dry explosion-proof property. Even during rapid heating and drying, no dry explosion occurs, and the effect of preventing dry explosion caused by the addition of an aluminum lactate compound can be exhibited.

  In addition, in the example which used xanthan gum among biogum type | system | group thickeners, in the compactness of a construction body and corrosion resistance, it is still excellent. This seems to be because xanthan gum is particularly excellent in pseudoplastic properties among biogum thickeners.

  On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 adds a biogum thickener to the slurry and does not add an aluminum lactate compound, so there is no problem in kneadability and fluidity during construction even if the amount of added water is small. However, by not adding an aluminum lactate compound, the dry explosion resistance is poor. Moreover, although it is inferior also to the separation prevention property of a slurry, this is because the thickening action which an aluminum lactate compound has cannot be obtained by not adding an aluminum lactate compound.

  In Comparative Example 2, an aluminum lactate compound was added to the slurry, but no thickener was added, and the slurry was significantly separated. Although there is no problem in the denseness of the construction body, the construction body structure becomes non-uniform due to the separation of the slurry, resulting in poor corrosion resistance.

  Comparative Example 3 is an example in which carboxymethyl cellulose was used as a thickener for the slurry. It is inferior in slurry separation prevention. Although not shown in the table, the fluidity at the time of kneading the irregular refractory is inferior. Due to the separation of the slurry, the resulting construction is inferior in denseness, strength and corrosion resistance.

  In this embodiment, the construction of the alumina-silicon carbide amorphous refractory was shown. However, for example, in the construction of the alumina-magnesia amorphous refractory or the magnesia amorphous refractory, the present invention can be applied to provide fire resistance. The raw fine powder is prepared in advance as a slurry, and this slurry is kneaded together with the refractory raw material aggregate powder and binder during construction of refractory, and it is excellent in preventing slurry separation and preventing dry explosion of the construction body, and quickly. A sufficient kneading effect could be obtained even in a short time kneading for construction.

  Although the said Example is constructed according to casting construction, this invention can also be applied to spray construction.

It is a schematic diagram of the example of an irregular refractory construction using a continuous kneading apparatus.
