Definitions

  • the present invention relates to bonded aggregate structures, compositions for forming such structures, and binders for use in such compositions.
  • Bonded aggregate compositions are a class of known materials useful for many structural purposes.
  • the class includes such products as concrete, concrete patching, refractory materials, high temperature insulation materials, and fire resistant materials.
  • Bonded aggregate compositions generally comprise a suitable aggregate (a filler which determines the structural characteristics of the composition) bound by a binder, such as a cement.
  • Conventional cements used for binding aggregates include aluminous cements, hydraulic cements, and Portland cements.
  • Hydraulic cements a re mixtures of fine-ground lime, alumina, and silica which set to a hard product upon admixture with water, the water combining chemically with the cement constituents to form a hydrate.
  • Portland cements are particular hydraulic cements composed of lime, alumina, silica and iron oxide (as tetracalcium aluminoferrate); tricalcium aluminate; tricalcium silicate; and dicalcium silicate.
  • Portland cements typically contain less than five percent alumina.
  • Aluminous cements in contrast, are hydraulic cements which contain at least thirty to thirty-five percent alumina, which is usually supplied by the inclusion of bauxite.
  • the cement or binder is selected to match the particular use to which the bonded composition will be put and to match the particular aggregate employed, which is similarly chosen in view of the ultimate use of the bonded composition.
  • a concrete formed as a conglomerate of gravel, pebbles, sand, broken stone, glass-furnace slag or cinders (collectively, the aggregate) embedded in a matrix of a suitable cement (typically standard Portland cement) is particularly preferred.
  • Binder systems based upon phosphate have also been employed, but the use of such systems has encountered other drawbacks.
  • Phosphate-based binder systems normally employ phosphoric acid ( o r a salt thereof in the presence of water) in combination with an inorganic metal oxide such as magnesium oxide or aluminum oxide.
  • an inorganic metal oxide such as magnesium oxide or aluminum oxide.
  • Two types of products can be formed from such systems: some experiencing high temperatures during setting while ultimately achieving a high PSI strength, arising from the quick setting of the product at ambient temperatures (15°F to 85°F); and others having a controlled set by the application of significant heat (200°F to 500°F) to bring about final setting.
  • the major drawback of such systems is the relatively short working time available for a user to work or apply the aggregate compositions once mixed, typically on the order of one minute. While it is preferred in working with bonded aggregates of any type that the composition set fairly rapidly, it would be preferred that the composition once mixed should be workable for at least three minutes, and preferably work
  • a binder system comprising at least one dry phosphate-providing component, at least one wet or aqueous phosphate-providing component, and at least one calcium-providing component.
  • One of the dry phosphate- providing components and one of the calcium-providing components are preferably contained in a single material, such as a hydrated monocalcium phosphate (Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 H 2 O).
  • a hydrated monocalcium phosphate Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 H 2 O
  • an additional cal ci um-providi ng material such as a calcium aluminate cement, calcium oxide, or mixtures of them
  • the strength and speed of curing can be controlled by selectively varying the concentration and ratio of the wet and dry components. Because the ratio of wet to dry component can be varied, the invention permits the use of commercial or agricultural grade materials at a significantly lower cost than the purified constituents presently required. In general, it is preferred that the optimal proportion of the wet component to the dry components be determined empirically from conventionally-sized test blocks, such as two inch by two inch by two inch cubes, or three inch by six inch circular cylinders.
  • the invention is also directed to an admixture of only the dry binder components, wherein the binder is mixed with the aggregate and the wet phosphate-providing component only at a remote location at which the bound aggregate structure is to be formed.
  • the invention is directed to a mixture of an appropriate aggregate and the dry binder components, the dry mixture being mixed with the wet phosphate-providing component at the remote location.
  • the basis for binding in this binder system is believed to be the admixture of a calcium-providing component such as a calcium aluminate with a wet phosphate-providing constituent, such as dilute phosphoric acid.
  • Applicant has found that the addition of a dry phosphate-providing component to this basic binder not only lengthens the setting time by a controllable amount, but by varying the percentage strengths of the aqueous phosphates to the percentage strengths of the dry phosphates also unexpectedly improves the strength and refractory characteristics of aggregate structures including the multiple-component binder.
  • the binder system of the present invention unexpectedly possesses some degree of utility with ammonium phosphate-based materials.
  • the particularly preferred phosphoric acid solution neutralizes the ammonia smell conventionally encountered with such materials.
  • the use of a wet phosphate-providing component in ammonium phosphate-based binders appears, however, to be fairly sensitive to the amount of impurities contained in the aqueous component, so that the commercial utility of such mixtures may be questionable.
  • the impurities conventionally present in a pickling solution containing twenty-three percent phosphoric acid may easily be adequate to interfere with the utility of the present binder in ammonium phosphate-based materials. This does not detract, however, from the broad utility of the present invention.
  • the binder of the present invention can typically be employed with a variety of aggregate structures, such as concrete structures, refactory structures, high temperature insulation structures, and fire resistant structures, as well as in concrete patching.
  • the dry phosphate and dry calcium-providing components of the present invention are preferably contained in a single material such as monocalcium phosphate, while the wet phosphate-providing component is typically a phosphoric acid solution.
  • an additional calcium-providing component can be included in the binder, particularly when the dry phosphate and primary calcium components are contained in a single material.
  • This additional calcium- providing component usually comprises either a calcium aluminate cement or calcium oxide, or a mixture of them.
  • a dry aggregate composition in accordance with the present invention can typically comprise between seventy and ninety-five percent by weight of the aggregate, five to twenty-five percent by weight of the calcium-providing component, and about one to thirty percent by weight of the dry phosphate-providing component. If the calcium and phosphate are provided in a single material, that material can alternatively make up one to thirty percent by weight of the dry aggregate composition.
  • Such a dry aggregate composition can be admixed with about eight to sixty percent by weight of a wet phosphate-providing component, such as a solution of about twenty to fifty percent by volume in water of a strong, commercially available phosphoric acid solution.
  • the present invention is thus not only directed to the bonded aggregate composition or structure, but is also directed to a dry binder comprising a mixture of the dry phosphate component and dry calcium component; to a binder comprising a mixture of the dry phosphate component, the wet phosphate component and the calcium component; and to a dry aggregate composition useful for forming an aggregate structure upon the addition of a wet phosphate component, the dry aggregate composition comprising an aggregate, a dry phosphate component and a dry calcium component.
  • the invention is also directed to a method of forming a bonded aggregate structure comprising the steps of mixing a wet phosphorous-providing component with this dry aggregate composition, forming the admixture into an appropriate shape, and allowing the admixture to set.
  • the specific proportions of components optimal for a particular purpose can readily be selected on a trial-by-error basis, but in any event are selected so as to be adequate to achieve a bonded aggregate composition of adequate strength and utility after admixture and working. It is believed, however, that the wet-to-dry ratios are governed by the structural requirements of the finished, cured aggregate structure. Generally, a lower wet-to-dry ratio will be expected to result in a bonded aggregate structure of higher strength and stability. Dilution of the aqueous phosphate while increasing the proportion of, for example, dry phosphate and calcium aluminate, is expected to yield materials having high strengths in a lower temperature range (1200°F to 2200°F), but suffering structural failure above that range.
  • Increasing the phosphate content in the aqueous component while simultaneously decreasing the proportions of, for example, dry phosphate and calcium aluminate, is expected to yield materials having high strengths in a higher temperature range (2200°F - 3100°F) and to simultaneously extend the limit of structural failure to a higher temperature.
  • the most important features to consider with respect to the dry phosphate-providing component are its solubility in water and its percentage content of phosphate.
  • the advantage of the dry phosphate-providing component is that it provides adequate working time to the admixture while maintaining the total percentage of phosphate in the admixture, particularly when using cheaper aqueous phosphate solutions.
  • the soluble dry phosphate makes up for the lower concentration of phosphate present in the cheaper (eg. industrial) acid solutions; adequate working time of the admixture and bonding strength in the resultant structures are thereby achieved at a lower cost, because cheaper acid solutions can be successfully used.
  • a bonded aggregate structure according to the present invention is generally formed by the admixture of an aqueous or wet phosphate-providing component with a previously constituted admixture of three dry components: an aggregate; a dry phosphate-providing and calcium-providing material; and an additional calcium-providing component, preferably a calcium aluminate cement.
  • an aqueous or wet phosphate-providing component with a previously constituted admixture of three dry components: an aggregate; a dry phosphate-providing and calcium-providing material; and an additional calcium-providing component, preferably a calcium aluminate cement.
  • the wet phosphate-providing component is preferably a dilute solution of industrial grade phosphoric acid, although commercial, agricultural and technical grades can also be used.
  • the wet phosphate-providing component is added in an amount adequate to render the admixture workable yet also adequate to provide a sufficient content of dissolved or soluble phosphate to permit rapid setting, on the order of three to ninety minutes.
  • An aggregate structure can then be readily formed from thirty-three kilogram batches of the aggregate and dry component mixture, mixed with an appropriate amount of such a phosphoric acid solution at seventy degrees Fahrenheit.
  • a wet phosphate-providing component especially useful for refractory and fireproofing aggregates is shown in the Examples and was prepared as a 1:1 to 4:1 dilution of C-134, an orthophosphoric acid of formula H 3 PO 4 previously available from Texasgulf Chemicals Co., Raleigh, N.C.

Its freezing point at a concentration of 56.3% P 2 O 5 is below -20 ° F.

Abstract

Des compositions d'agrégats liés tels que du béton, des produits de réparation de béton, des matériaux réfractaires à haute température, des isolations à haute température et résistant au feu sont produits à partir d'une solution aqueuse d'acide phosphorique et d'un mélange séparé, stockable et sec d'un agrégat approprié, du phosphate de monocalcium, et de calcium se présentant sous la forme de ciment d'aluminate de calcium ou d'oxyde de calcium. La proportion entre les constituants humides et secs est variable de manière à sélectionner le temps de travail ainsi que la résistance de la composition de l'agrégat, typiquement de l'ordre de trois à huit minutes. L'invention concerne également le mélange de constituants secs préférés, ainsi que le liant à mélanger à l'agrégat afin de produire le mélange sec préféré. Le système de liant est particulièrement avantageux en ce que le même ensemble de constituants de liant peut être facilement employé avec divers agrégats, réduisant le coût de production d'une variété de compositions d'agrégats dû à la disponibilité des matières premières, et ne nécessitant pas le stockage de différents liants pour différentes compositions d'agrégats.
