ABSTRACT

The wear of refractory linings is often a critical problem in process units where transfer lines are subjected to high velocity gas stream containing solid particles. Knowledge regarding erosive wear of refractory linings under these conditions is restricted and, as consequence, the technological development is slow and, in general, carried out in an empirical way. The objective of the present work is to review relevant aspects related to erosive wear in industrial applications and to investigate the erosion resistance of refractory castables currently used by the aluminum industry and in petrochemical cracking units. Among the erosion variables tested are: the particle impingement angle, line pressure, particle size and hardness, the microstructure of the refractories, the binding agent content, type of aggregate, thermal history and porosity. It was found that the higher erosion was attained at 90º of impingement and decreased slightly when the angle was close to 30º. The results also pointed out that erosion was proportional to the particle velocity, its hardness and size. In addition, it was observed that the refractory erosion resistance is mostly affected by reducing the porosity.
