Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heat-insulating refractory which can be suitably used as an interior material for a tunnel or other building and an insulating material for an industrial furnace.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various heat-insulating refractories have been used as interior materials for tunnels or other buildings, heat-insulating materials for industrial furnaces, and the like. Among them, for example, in recent years,
The need to protect tunnels from car fires is increasing. In a car fire occurring in a tunnel, the maximum temperature at the time of the disaster is about 1100 ° C for a hydrocarbon fire.
It is also known to reach. In order to insulate and protect the tunnel structures such as concrete structures, steel shell structures and hybrid structures of concrete and steel shells from this fire, use interior materials with appropriate thermal conductivity and thickness, Characteristics include minimizing cracks and warpage due to thermal spalls during a fire and preventing the flame from directly touching the structure.Furthermore, in the event of a fire, including building interior materials such as dwellings, it is extremely harmful to evacuation. Materials that do not generate gas have become required.

[0003] In addition, during fire extinguishing activities during a fire, the vehicle is exposed to an environment where spalling and cracks are likely to occur due to the flooding. It must be a material that can be prevented.

On the other hand, in normal use, it is necessary to have an appropriate strength. For example, when applied to a side wall, it must be able to withstand the load during cleaning.
Also, at the time of construction, it is desired to be lightweight from the viewpoint of workability.

[0005] As a general heat insulating board, a heat insulating fire-resistant plate, etc., for example, JP-A-2-212369 discloses a fire-resistant plate containing alumina cement as a binder and containing cellulose fibers, which contains wollastonite and sepiolite. A refractory plate containing silicon carbide fibers and wollastonite is disclosed.

[0006]

The fire-resistant plate described in the above-mentioned publication is also desired as a material having excellent heat insulating properties, volume stability, spall resistance, strength and light weight as interior materials, and having no harmfulness. Yes, but heat insulation and lightness and strength,
Since lightness, strength, and volume stability are generally contradictory properties, they have not yet been satisfied with all of these properties. As another example, it is possible to mention one that satisfies some properties, but these materials are, in particular,
Since it was not developed and manufactured for use in tunnels, it cannot be said that it sufficiently satisfies the required performance of building interior materials such as tunnels, including heat insulation.

[0007] The present invention provides sufficient heat insulating properties, volume stability, spall resistance, strength, light weight, and excellent heat insulating properties which are not harmful in case of fire, not only for use in industrial furnaces and buildings, but also for tunnels. Obtaining refractory.

[0008]

It is preferable to contain 5 to 2 parts by weight. Further, vinylon fibers are suitable as reinforcing fibers.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The heat insulating refractory of the present invention comprises alumina cement, ultrafine amorphous silica, lightweight aggregate, sepiolite, wollastonite and reinforcing fibers,
It has the contradictory properties of heat insulation, volume stability, spall resistance, strength, light weight, and nonflammability, and effectively exhibits composite properties.

[0011] These characteristic values will be specifically described below using an example in a tunnel where a problem has been pointed out.

In order to ensure sufficient heat insulation, it is necessary to use an interior material having an appropriate thermal conductivity and thickness.

FIG. 1 is a graph showing the results of a trial calculation of the temperature of the concrete surface of a tunnel structure when interior materials having various thermal conductivities are installed in a tunnel. The thickness of the interior material is appropriately 20 to 30 mm because it cannot be made too thick in terms of heat insulation effect, strength, securing a cross section inside the tunnel, light weight, and material unit price. Assuming that the allowable temperature of concrete is 350 ° C. in consideration of the dehydration temperature of calcium hydroxide, the required thermal conductivity is 0.4 kcal / mh ° C. or less, preferably 0.25 kcal / mh, according to FIG. ° C or lower. In order to prevent cracks penetrating to the back surface as a volume stability at the time of fire and after extinguishment, a material having a linear change rate after firing at 1100 ° C. of −1.5% or less is preferable. Regarding the spall resistance, it is necessary that there is no large crack penetrating to the back surface after the spalling test.

Regarding lightness, considering workability, 1
0 kg or less seems to be preferable. Regarding the size of the interior material, if it is too small, the work efficiency will be reduced, and if it is too large, the installation workability may be hindered. Therefore, considering this, about 600 × 600 mm is considered appropriate. The bulk specific gravity which becomes 10 kg or less in this shape is less than 1.4, preferably 1.1 or less.

As a normal external load, the cleaning load does not act on the ceiling portion but acts on the side wall portion. This load is
According to the "Tunnel Interior Construction Design Guidelines (draft)" issued by the Highway Public Corporation, the cleaning load is described as 50 kgf / m. When the required strength of the interior material is calculated from this load, it is 20 kgf / cm
² (safety factor is 3).

With respect to nonflammability, it is necessary to satisfy the base material test and the surface test shown in Notification No. 1828 of the Ministry of Construction in order to prevent generation of gas which is extremely harmful for evacuation.

The alumina cement used in the present invention is used as a binder and preferably accounts for 10 to 15 parts by weight in terms of CaO contained. If the amount is less than 10 parts by weight, the effect of improving the strength is small, and the spall resistance is also reduced due to this, which is not preferable. 1
If the amount exceeds 5 parts by weight, the price becomes high, so that it is out of the specified range. The type of alumina cement is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the above-mentioned CaO content. For example, among the first to fifth types of alumina cement for refractories specified in JIS R 2511, You can choose from. Ultrafine powder amorphous silica is used as a material for preventing strength reduction at an intermediate temperature of alumina cement. In the case of using only alumina cement, the strength decreases due to a volume change accompanying dehydration of crystallization water during heating. However, when ultrafine amorphous silica is used in combination, the silica has a very small diameter of about 0.3 μm and thus has high reactivity, and forms a CASH hydrate or gel. In addition, the dehydration temperature of the water of crystallization rises, and broad dehydration characteristics are exhibited, and a decrease in strength is suppressed. Further, the curing strength is also increased by this reaction, so that the molded article can be easily handled.

As the ultrafine powder amorphous silica, silica fume, microsilica and the like can be used. The use amount of the ultrafine amorphous silica is preferably 5 to 10 parts by weight. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the effect of suppressing a decrease in strength is small, the spall resistance is reduced, and furthermore, warpage occurs, which is not preferable. If the amount exceeds 10 parts by weight, oversintering occurs, so that firing shrinkage increases and spall resistance decreases, which is not preferable.

The lightweight aggregate is added for the purpose of weight reduction and low thermal conductivity. However, since the firing shrinkage increases when excessively added, it is preferable to use 4 to 12 parts by weight of Na ₂ O and K ₂ O having a total content of 9% by weight or less. It is not preferable to use an aggregate containing more than 9% by weight of Na ₂ O and K ₂ O because the aggregate itself melts. If the amount is less than 4 parts by weight, the effect of weight reduction and heat insulation is small, and if it is excessively added over 12 parts by weight, the structure becomes porous and the decrease in intermediate strength is large.
Since oversintering results in large firing shrinkage and poor ball resistance, it is not preferable.

The type of the lightweight aggregate is not particularly limited as long as the content of Na ₂ O and K ₂ O does not exceed the above-mentioned upper limit, and examples thereof include obsidian, perlite and pine stone. Mitsui perlite (made by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.) as fired foam of natural glass rock, Shirasu balloon (made by Okazaki Kogyo Co., Ltd.) made by firing and firing volcanic glass particles in Shirasu, and Microcells (made of hollow lightweight aggregate) There are Chichibu Onoda Co., Ltd.) and Philite (Nippon Philite Co., Ltd.), and Omura D Chamotte (Omura Fire Inc.) as a lightweight chamotte.

In the present invention, two types of inorganic fibers, sepiolite and wollastonite, are used. Sepiolite is
It is used to provide fiber reinforcement, heat insulation, light weight, and shape retention during molding.However, when used alone, when used in large quantities, strength decreases due to dehydration of water absorption and dehydration of water during heating. In addition, there is a large adverse effect of firing shrinkage and warpage, and the amount is naturally limited, and the effects of heat insulation and weight reduction cannot be fully enjoyed.

On the other hand, wollastonite has the effects of improving strength, suppressing sintering shrinkage, and suppressing warpage, but is disadvantageous in terms of heat insulation and lightness due to its heavy bulk specific gravity of 2.8 to 3.0. Also, the resistance of the fiber itself during molding is large,
It has the disadvantage that molding cannot be performed. Therefore, the effect of adding both fibers is maximized,
As a result of intensive studies to enhance the lightness, strength, and volume stability, the present inventors have found that it is possible only in a specific combination to complete the present invention.

Sepiolite has the chemical formula (OH ₂ ) ₄ (O
H) a magnesium silicate compound represented by the _{4 Mg 8 Si 12 O 30 ·} 6~8H 2 O, the crystal structure on the classification of the clay, are classified into a one-dimensional structure clay. Therefore, [OH] is often structural space and in the space ^- because it has,
It has a high water adsorbing power and has a property of absorbing and retaining as much as 100 to 120% of its own weight. Therefore, in addition to the function as the inorganic reinforcing fiber, it is possible to provide a function of heat insulation and light weight. That is, although the water-containing state is maintained at the time of molding, the water absorption and dehydration is dehydrated by the drying treatment, and fine voids are left inside, so that weight reduction and heat insulation can be achieved. Furthermore, since it has rheologically thixotropic properties, shape retention can be obtained even when molded at low pressure. Also,
In the case of the above-mentioned low-pressure molding, it is necessary to make the kneaded material slip-like in order to obtain a homogeneous molded body. In this case, since the water retention capacity of sepiolite is high, breathing can be suppressed.

Sepiolite has an average fiber length of 100 μm
It is preferable to use 10 to 30 parts by weight having a diameter of 3 to 3 mm. If the average fiber length is less than 100 μm, the tightening at the time of pressurized dehydration molding becomes insufficient, and molding becomes impossible, or the shape retention is deteriorated, causing a problem that bulging occurs in the thickness direction. If it exceeds 3 mm, the shrinkage and warpage of sintering will increase due to the dehydration of water and water of crystallization, the spall resistance will decrease, the crushing and sizing will be incomplete, and the bulk sepiolite will be mixed. It is not preferable because it impairs the homogeneity. If the amount is less than 10 parts by weight, the thermal conductivity becomes high, and molding becomes impossible as in the case where the fiber length is less than 100 μm. If the amount exceeds 30 parts by weight, the decrease in the intermediate strength due to the dehydration of the water for absorption and retention and the crystallization water is not preferable because it is unfavorable. Further, over-sintering leads to large firing shrinkage and warpage. Is undesirably reduced.

Wollastonite has the chemical formula CaSiO ₃
Alternatively, it is a calcium silicate compound represented by CaO.SiO ₂ , and β wollastonite has a needle-like or long columnar crystal structure. Also, because the shape is crushed, length,
The cross-sectional direction is non-uniform, specifically, tapered, uneven, or wedge-shaped. Therefore, since a wedge effect is generated in the structure, there is an effect of improving strength, suppressing firing shrinkage, and suppressing warpage in an intermediate temperature range after curing.

Wollastonite has an average fiber length of 50 to
It is preferable to use 2 to 30 parts by weight of wollastonite of 500 μm. If the average fiber length is less than 50 μm, the effect of suppressing sintering shrinkage and warpage is small, and if it exceeds 500 μm, the strength is not improved due to poor tightening during molding, and the spall resistance is undesirably reduced.

If the amount is less than 2 parts by weight, the effect of suppressing firing shrinkage and warpage is small, and if it exceeds 30 parts by weight, oversintering will result in increased firing shrinkage and reduced spall resistance. Absent.

Organic fibers as reinforcing fibers are used to improve the strength after molding, prevent cracks and cracks from occurring during handling, and improve the dry strength (product strength). As a material of the organic fiber, since cement is used as a binder, vinylon, polypropylene, aramid, polyethylene having alkali resistance,
Polyacrylonitrile, polyamide and the like are preferred.

The preferred range of the organic fiber is such that the average fiber length is 0.1.
It is 5 to 10 mm and the used amount is 0.5 to 2 parts by weight.
If the average fiber length is less than 0.5 mm, breakage occurs in handling immediately after molding, and if it exceeds 10 mm, moisture during kneading becomes excessive and strength is reduced, resulting in poor spall resistance. If the amount used is less than 0.5 parts by weight, it is not preferable because breakage occurs in handling immediately after molding. If the amount exceeds 2 parts by weight, the number of voids after firing increases, so that the rate of decrease in intermediate strength and firing shrinkage increase, and the spall resistance decreases, which is not preferable.

Among the organic fibers, vinylon shows excellent characteristics in various points. Vinylon is made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which is a chain polymer. For this reason, compared with other organic fibers, alkali resistance, fiber strength (tensile strength: 15 × 10 ³ kgf / cm ² ) and interfacial adhesive strength with the matrix are better, and the reinforcing effect when mixed into the material is improved. Are better. Further, the heat resistance can be increased by reducing [OH] ⁻ in the manufacturing process. Therefore, high strength can be achieved from immediately after molding to the time of drying, and even during normal use, there is almost no deterioration of strength over time, and stable strength can be maintained.
Furthermore, since vinylon is a raw material of PVA composed of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, it does not generate nitrogen-based or sulfur-based toxic gas even during combustion in a fire, and can be said to be an excellent fiber in terms of safety. .

In order to produce the heat-insulating refractory of the present invention, the same steps as those in the conventional pressure dehydration molding can be employed. For example, in order to utilize the absorption / retention water function of sepiolite in the pressure dehydration molding method, a lower pressure is better, and a pressing force is 5 to 50.
kgf / cm ² is preferred. When the pressing force is less than 5 kgf / cm ^{2, a} compact cannot be obtained due to insufficient tightening.
If it exceeds gf / cm ² , the water containing sepiolite will be drained more than necessary, causing problems such as an increase in bulk specific gravity and a decrease in the heat insulating effect.
If it exceeds 0 kgf / cm ² , cracks may occur after drying, which is not preferable.

In the case of low-strength aggregates such as pearlite even in the case of lightweight aggregates, when high-pressure molding is performed, the aggregates themselves may be destroyed, which may impair the heat insulating properties and lightness. However, when such an aggregate is used, the pressing force is preferably set to 50 kgf / cm ² or less.

Thus, it is possible to produce inexpensively an interior material having heat insulation, volume stability, spall resistance, strength, light weight, and noncombustibility only for the above-described combined effects according to the present invention.

Base material test and surface test: Notification of Ministry of Construction No. 18
No. 28 (substrate test method, surface test method) Table 1 is an example showing the quantitative effects of alumina cement and ultrafine amorphous silica.

[0052]

[Table 1] As shown in Examples 1 to 5 in Table 1, when an appropriate amount of cement and ultrafine amorphous silica were used, the strength after drying was high and the rate of decrease in strength after firing was small. The properties were good. On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Example 1 in which the amount of cement was small, the spalling resistance was poor due to low strength. Further, Comparative Example 2 in which the amount of the ultrafine powder amorphous silica was small and Comparative Example 3 in which the amount was not used were inferior in the reinforcing effect of the cement bond, so that the strength reduction rate after firing was large,
The spalling resistance was poor. Conversely, in the case of Comparative Example 4 in which the amount of the ultrafine powdered amorphous silica was large, the linear change rate was large, indicating an oversintering tendency, and the spalling resistance was poor. Comparative Example 5, in which the cement was replaced with Portland cement, had low strength and a large rate of decrease in strength after firing, as in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and thus had poor spalling resistance.

Table 2 shows the influence of the alkali component and the amount of the lightweight aggregate.

[0054]

[Table 2] As shown in Examples 6, 2, and 7 in Table 2, when an appropriate amount of a lightweight aggregate containing an alkali amount equal to or less than an appropriate amount is used, a reduction in weight and a reduction in heat conduction while suppressing strength reduction and oversintering are suppressed. Although the ratio could be increased, the bulk specific gravity was large and the thermal conductivity was high in the case of Comparative Example 6 in which the amount of the lightweight aggregate used was small.
Conversely, in the case of Comparative Examples 7 and 8 in which a large amount of used or a lightweight aggregate having a high alkali amount was used and the total alkali amount exceeded an appropriate amount, oversintering was caused and the spalling resistance was deteriorated. .

Table 3 shows the effect of the fiber length and the amount of sepiolite used.

[0056]

[Table 3] As shown in Examples 2, 8, 9 to 11 in Table 3, when the proper length and amount of sepiolite were used, the required strength, bulk specific gravity, and thermal conductivity were obtained. Example 9.1
As shown in FIG. 0, when the fiber length is short or long, there is a problem that a homogeneous product cannot be formed or molding cannot be performed. As can be seen from Comparative Examples 11 to 13, when the amount of sepiolite is small, there is a problem that molding is not possible, and the necessary bulk specific gravity and thermal conductivity cannot be ensured. Polling has been reduced.

Table 4 shows the influence of the fiber length and the amount of wollastonite used.

[0058]

[Table 4] As shown in Examples 12, 13, 2, 14 to 16 in Table 4,
When wollastonite of an appropriate length and amount was used, there was a sufficient strength improvement and firing shrinkage suppression effect, but in the case of Comparative Example 14 longer than the appropriate length, the strength improvement effect was insufficient. Further, in Comparative Examples 15 to 16 in which the length is shorter than the appropriate length or the amount of addition is small, the problem that the spalling resistance is deteriorated cannot be solved because the firing shrinkage of sepiolite cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and the warpage after firing. Also occurred. In the case of Comparative Example 17 in which a large amount of wollastonite was used, it acted as a flux to the matrix, resulting in oversintering and poor spalling resistance. In the case of Comparative Example 18 using SiC fiber as the reinforcing fiber, the spalling resistance was poor because the intermediate strength was deteriorated. Table 5
Shows the effect of the length of the organic fiber and the amount used.

[0059]

[Table 5] As shown in Examples 17, 2, and 18 to 22 of Table 5, when the appropriate reinforcing fiber was used, a sufficient dry strength could be obtained while suppressing a decrease in the firing strength. In the case of Comparative Examples 19 and 21 having a short length or a small amount of use, the strength immediately after molding was low, and breakage occurred during handling.
In the case of Comparative Examples 20 and 22 where the fiber length was long or the amount used was large, the spalling resistance deteriorated because the strength was low or the strength reduction rate after firing was large.

Table 6 shows an example of the results of the nonflammability test of the product of the present invention.

[Table 6] As shown in the examples in Table 6, there was no problem of harmful gas.

In addition, Examples 2 and 5 of the present invention were applied as a casting material and a patching material, but could be used without any problem.

As shown in the present embodiment, for the first time only in the combination of the constitutional requirements of the present invention, it is possible to obtain high strength, small firing shrinkage, small warpage, and excellent spall resistance while having low thermal conductivity and low bulk specific gravity. showed that. In addition, no significant harmful gas was generated.

As described above, the product of the present invention can be formed by pouring into a mold as in the case of ordinary pouring by adjusting the amount of water added at the time of kneading, and there is no insufficient filling of beans and the like. A good construction body could be obtained. Similarly, the softness was adjusted by changing the water content, and the patching work to the gap could be performed. Furthermore, after curing, steam curing and autoclave curing can be performed to shorten the curing time. However, in the case of curing in an autoclave, the strength is reduced when the temperature is higher than the heat resistant temperature of the fiber.

[0064]

According to the present invention, sepiolite and wollastonite and a lightweight aggregate are blended so as to minimize the reduction in strength when heat insulation and weight are reduced, and to minimize the adverse effects of firing shrinkage and warping. In addition, alumina cement and ultrafine amorphous silica are used together as a binder part for high strength to form a bond firmly, and organic fibers are used as a supplement of strength from immediately after molding to after drying. So
It shows excellent properties in terms of heat insulation, volume stability, spall resistance, strength and light weight, and is also excellent in safety against generation of harmful gases.

The product of the present invention is a material having all the performances that cannot be satisfied with the conventional interior materials for industrial furnaces and buildings as well as for tunnels. When covered, thermal damage to rear structural members caused by insufficient heat insulation, thermal insulation protection of rear structures due to cracks, warpage, and spalling of interior materials due to heat during fire Is a satisfactory material that can solve all the problems of imperfections, thermal spalling and falling off of the interior material as the effect of being exposed to water during fire extinguishing. It is particularly useful as a building material for use and can be used without any safety problems.

Further, since the product of the present invention can be molded by a simple pressure dehydration molding method, it does not require high-cost molding equipment as shown by a conventional extrusion molding machine, and is caused by warpage generated during the molding. The present invention is industrially very useful because it is economically superior, for example, it does not cause an increase in manufacturing cost due to a decrease in yield.

Since the kneading softness of the product of the present invention can be easily adjusted only by the water content at the time of addition, not only pressure dehydration molding but also casting molding and patching work can be performed. Insulation protection or the heat insulation protection of these parts can be easily and reliably performed by pouring into the electrical wiring section or the like as a filler.
