Özet: High-quality alumina raw materials allow corundum-based brick and monolithics to perform to the full potential of alumina as a refractory material. Dense packing of the matrix to a submicron range and reduction of water demand of castables can be facilitated by a new family of multimodal reactive alumina. Dispersing aluminas ensure uniform mixing of dispersion and setting adjustment additives. In this study, fine reactive alumina powder production was investigated using Bayer gibbsite as a starting material. Experimental studies consist of two steps; in the first step, the soda content was reduced by means of boric acid and distilled water and then the powders obtained optimum conditions were ground in an attritor ball mill using distilled water for 8 hours. In the second step, physical characteristics such as rheological behaviours, bulk density, open porosity and thermal shock resistance, bending and compressive strength and fracture toughness in accordance with ASTM E399 standard were determined. Finally, KIC values of the refractory samples which was prepared with the reactive alumina produced from Seydişehir gibbsite were higher than that of the refractory mixture containing commercial reactive alumina obtained from a refractory company.
