Abstract

Abstract Unfired, refractory compositions are provided containing a refractory material of magnesia, dolomite, lime or mixtures thereof, a carbonaceous binder, and elementary carbon. The amount of elementary carbon incorporated in the composition is controlled and depends on the amount of Fe 2 O 3 present in the refractory material. The compositions are provided with at most 1.5% elementary carbon if the Fe 2 O 3 content is below 0.5%; at most 1.75% elementary carbon if the Fe 2 O 3 content is 0.5 to 2.5%, at most 2.0% elementary carbon if the Fe 2 O 3 content is above 2.5 to 4.5%, and at most 2.5% elementary carbon if the Fe 2 O 3 content is above 4.5%. Refractory shapes and bricks produced from these refractory compositions where the amount of elementary carbon is controlled according to the Fe 2 O 3 content of the refractory material show an increased durability over similar refractory shapes and bricks where the elementary carbon addition is not made or where it is made in excess of the above critical amounts without regard to the Fe 2 O 3 content.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 162 words
A process of producing an unfired, refractory, basic composition consisting essentially of refractory material of either magnesia, dolomite, lime or mixtures thereof, together with a carbonaceous binder and elementary carbon by mixing the refractory material with the carbonaceous binder and the elementary carbon, which comprises using an amount of elementary carbon in dependence on the Fe 2 O 3 content of the refractory material so that elementary carbon is used, based on the weight of the refractory material, in an amount of from 0.8 to at most 1.5% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is below 0.5%, in an amount of from 1.05 to not over 1.75% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is 0.5 to 2.5%, in an amount of from 1.3 to at most 2.0% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is above 2.5 to 4.5%, and in an amount of from 1.8 to not more than 2.5% if the Fe 2 O 3 is above 4.5%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 162 words
A process of producing an unfired, refractory, basic composition consisting essentially of refractory material of either magnesia, dolomite, lime or mixtures thereof, together with a carbonaceous binder and elementary carbon by mixing the refractory material with the carbonaceous binder and the elementary carbon, which comprises using an amount of elementary carbon in dependence on the Fe 2 O 3 content of the refractory material so that elementary carbon is used, based on the weight of the refractory material, in an amount of from 0.8 to at most 1.5% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is below 0.5%, in an amount of from 1.05 to not over 1.75% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is 0.5 to 2.5%, in an amount of from 1.3 to at most 2.0% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is above 2.5 to 4.5%, and in an amount of from 1.8 to not more than 2.5% if the Fe 2 O 3 is above 4.5%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 80 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the elementary carbon is used in an amount of 1.0% if the Fe 2 O 3 content of the refractory material is below 0.5%, in an amount of 1.25% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is 0.5 to 2.5%, in an amount of 1.5% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is above 2.5 to 4.5%, and in an amount of 2.0% if the Fe 2 O 3 content is above 4.5%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein carbon black is used as elementary carbon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein finely ground coke, petroleum coke, electrode carbon or graphite is used as elementary carbon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the elementary carbon is incorporated in the refractory mixture by being jointly preground with part of the refractory material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 26 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the elementary carbon is incorporated in the refractory mixture by being jointly premixed with part of the refractory material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 19 words
A process for producing a refractory brick comprising shaping the refractory composition produced by the process of claim 1.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 19 words
A process for producing a refractory brick comprising shaping the refractory composition produced by the process of claim 2.
