Application of metakaolin in refractory materials
Tvrdík, Lukáš ; Rovnaníková, Pavla (referee) ; Havlica,, Jaromír (referee) ; Kutzendőrfer,, Jaroslav (referee) ; Lang, Karel (advisor)
Refractory materials are irreplaceable in all industrial fields where it is necessary to use high temperatures. This paper deals with the use of metakaolin in refractory materials that allows the operation of such facilities. In recent decades has the development made significant progress in quality parametres, which extended life period of refractory materials in their use and significantly decreased the specific consumption of refractory materials in various technologies. This phenomenon is also called "harakiri effect". At the same time a constant pressure to the lowest prices of products is on the refractory market. Metakaolin seems to be appropriate raw material, which may help to achieve interesting qualitative effects. It may affect many properties of the influence on the behavior of materials during processing, through physico-mechanical parameters and dipping to the economic efficiency of production.

Influence of CaO Content on Specific LCC, ULCC and NCC Properties
Zemánek, David ; Nevřivová, Lenka
Castables are widely used refractory materials with variable applications. Three types of castables (low cement, ultra-low cement and no cement) were tested to compare their specific properties. Also, corrosion resistance test as an important factor influencing castables design was carried out. Potassium carbonate was used as a corrosive medium using static crucible method. The corrosion mechanisms were evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The results confirmed that the presence of higher amount of calcium oxide from the Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC) leads to formation of calcite and anorthite. The corrosion resistance was improved with decreasing or replacing the hydraulic bond.
