Enhanced formation of magnesium silica hydrates (M-S-H) using sodium metasilicate and caustic magnesia in magnesia castables
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Magnesium-silica-hydrates (M-S-H) is a promising binder for magnesia castables due to its bonding strength and progressive dehydration behavior over a wide temperature range during the heating-up stage. Sodium metasilicate and caustic magnesia were used to form M-S-H in magnesia castables. The results showed that M-S-H was remarkably produced in the caustic magnesia-microsilica slurries containing sodium metasilicate with increasing pH value, which activated the hydrolysis of microsilica into silicic ions and enhanced the M-S-H formation. When 0.3 wt% caustic magnesia and 0.05 wt% sodium metasilicate as additives were incorporated into magnesia castables, the cold crushing strength and cold modulus of rupture of castables after drying at 110 °C reached the maximum value of 68.3 MPa, which corresponded to ~ 40% improvement in comparison with those of caustic magnesia and sodium metasilicate-free magnesia castables. Besides, the enhanced formation of M-S-H bonding system contributed to a better explosion resistance of magnesia castables.
