The objective of this work was the development of chemically phosphatebonded
refractories for applications in petrochemical industries due to their
suitable properties such as high green mechanical strength, erosion resistance
and good adhesion. These castables also stiffen in short periods of time (~ 4h)
and can be subjected to high heating rates after curing, thus reducing
equipment downtime. It has been observed the lack of investigations on selfflow
castables in the literature, which advantages are the easeness of
application and production of pieces of complex geometries. Addictionaly it was
also identified the need for products that do not require the use of binder
solutions, as most commercials ones consist of two components: liquid binder
(phosphoric acid) + dry mixture. Therefore, the transport and handling of
monocomponent compositions are more appropriate (it can be facilitated). Two
binder systems [diluted solution of H3PO4 and a mixture of H3PO4 + aluminum
monophosphate (MAP)] and 4 dispersing additives, citric acid and 3
polyphosphates (Budit 3H, 6H and 8H) were tested to obtain self-flow
concretes. It was found that the compositions bound with H3PO4 + MAP
provided longer working time (30 min). The one with 0.5%-p Budit 3H + 0.1%-p
citric acid is more promising, because it reached free flow values of 120% and
thermomechanical performance higher than the reference in most of the
properties. The disadvantage is that the mixture heats up to 54 °C after
processing. For the vibrated castables with solid binders, MAP, sodium
phosphate and magnesium monophosphate (MGP) were evaluated, and the
latter contributed with promising characteristics compared to those of the
commercial material. The composition containing 6%-p of this compound + 1%-
p of citric acid showed workability longer than 1h and cold mechanical strength
after firing at 815ºC (10.3 MPa) higher than the reference (7.9 MPa).
