Phosphate Binders in Refractory Application
Švec, Jiří ; Drábik, Milan (referee) ; Lang, Karel (referee) ; Havlica, Jaromír (advisor)
The doctoral thesis is focused on the study, research and development of refractories with phosphate bonding. Primary motivation is preparation of phosphate-based binders that can be applied for non-shaped insulating material fabricated by “in situ” foaming. The phosphate binders based on Al2O3-H3PO4 system are one of the most common in refractory technology. The amphoteric nature of the aluminium and its oxides require the setting of Al2O3-H3PO4 binders under the higher temperatures. Application of higher temperatures is necessary to obtain the minimal manipulation strength of as-prepared green bodies. The main goal of the work is preparation of ytrium phosphate-based binders via different preparation techniques. Yttrium based binders would allow phosphate refractory preparation by standard way, i.e via reaction between binder and reactive aggregate, without structural disintegration of foamed material even before getting manipulation strength or the final firing procedure. Yttrium is more basic than aluminium and therefore more reactive in Y2O3-H3PO4 system.. Yttrium oxide is highly refractory material and sintered yttrium monophosphate has excellent properties from the thermal and corrosive stability point of view. This fact should compensate higher price of this material. Experimental part of this work studies the possibilities of binders preparation in Y2O3-H3PO4 system. The mixtures were designed to prepare binding phase Y(H2PO4)3. Products of these reactions were characterized in phase and chemical point of view. In order to study and describe setting and hardening processes of phosphate binders, the products were “in situ” analyzed by the thermal analyses and high-temperature diffraction analysis up to the 1300 °C. High temperature products were then characterized by means of phase and chemical composition and morphology.

Preparation of yttrium based chemically bounded phosphate ceramics
Uher, Samuel ; Šiler, Pavel (referee) ; Švec, Jiří (advisor)
The thesis is focused first on the research of literature on the topic of phosphate ceramics and then on the search for a suitable synthesis of phosphate binder based on Y2O3-P2O5-H2O and characterization of the resulting products. Various types of syntheses were prepared with subsequent characterization of the phase and chemical composition of the final products. The samples were measured on an electron microscope to determine their surface morphology and also element maps were obtained. The samples were also analyzed by heat microscopy to determine the temperature behavior of the samples. After measurement on a heat microscope, the samples were measured again on an electron microscope, in order to detect changes caused by the action of high temperatures, in particular to assess the presence of binder or sintered phases.
