Micro-sized alumina powder is widely used in low cement high-alumina refractory castables. The hydration of calcium aluminate cement can be affected by adding micro-sized alumina powder. This work addresses the hydration of a commercial cement at 25°C with 50 wt% micro-sized alumina powder added. The hydration heat was measured by isothermal micro-calorimetry. The phase composition and microstructure of the hydration products at the designated times were studied by XRD and SEM, respectively. The results showed that micro-sized alumina powder accelerated the dissolution of CAC. The induction period of the cement hydration reduced from 13h to 4.5h, and the hydration heat within 50hs was increased from 469J/g to 587J/g with the addition of micro-sized alumina powder. The morphology of the hydrates was flocculent amorphous at the beginning, and then transformed to short rods or cubic shape with micro-sized alumina powder added.

For many industries, further progress is possible provided that more efficient refractories of new types are created. The refractory concretes bonded by calcium aluminate phosphate binders in comparison with conventional refractories continue to gain in popularity because of the following advantages: quick installation and low construction costs; reduced and simplified furnace maintenance; good thermal-shock resistance; monolithic (no joints); linings of the units done need not be cured to develop initial strength. The longevity of refractory is essentially increasing provided structure is forming under conditions of the service site. That is why developing of new refractory materials must be carried out by means of its structure design. These principles have been realizing in the refractory concretes technology under the limited conditions of refractory lining installation and industrial unit final heat up. The present paper identifies the phosphate phases responsible for developing mechanical-strength properties of high alumina concretes bonded with calcium aluminate phosphate binders. It sets out the colloid and crystalline phases resulted from interphase interaction that provides the basis for calcium aluminate phosphate binders (suspensions) useful to the refractory industry. The concretes obtained retain their volume integrity after 30 cycles of heating and cooling; can be used for refractory applications > 1700 °С; exhibit sufficient strength of lining 40 MPa.
