Abstract:
A high compressive strength silica mortar to be used for the installation of constructs such as building inside and outside walls, the road pavement, a slope and planting trees in the roof and manufacturing method thereof are provided. The high compressive strength silica mortar is formed of 30 to 60 wt % of silica, 40 to 70 wt % of blast furnace slag, and the 15 to 35 weight parts of polycondensation regulator for 100 weight parts of dry mortar powder of these silica and blast furnace slag, and is solidified by generating C—S—H, C-A-H, amorphous Geopolymeric Matrix{Al2O3.mSiO2.nM2O.xH2O(M=K,Na,Ca)} and Zeolite in the mortar. In particular, the high compressive strength silica mortar exhibits the compressive strength of 70.0 MPa or more by vibration forming and curing for 12˜48 hours at 25 to 80° C. before removal of form and aging for 28 days, and can save energies because a firing process is not required. Accordingly, the high compressive strength silica mortar has excellent properties compared with conventional cement concretes or polymer cements, and further shows high compressive strength in initial stage, which could not be generated in such products.
Abstract:
Disclosed is the recycling of aluminum dross. Aluminum dross is crushed into particles which are size-classified on the basis of 1 mm. The aluminum dross particles equal to or smaller than 1 mm in size are leached with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to give a leachate which contains sodium aluminate as a result of the reaction the aluminum metal of the aluminum dross particles with sodium hydroxide. The aluminum dross particles greater than 1 mm in size are remelted to recover aluminum metal. In the leachate, a small quantity of aluminum hydroxide is seeded, followed by hydrolyzing the sodium aluminate to obtain aluminum hydroxide. Meanwhile, the leachate is filtered to obtain a residue. This residue is subjected to washing, drying and roasting. The mixing of the roasted residue with aggregate and alumina cement gives alumina castable refractories. It is economically very advantageous in that aluminum dross is reused as a raw material for aluminum hydroxide and for alumina castable refractories, instead of being discarded. Also, hydrogen gas can be obtained as a by-product in the process of recycling.
Abstract:
A method of treating steel mill waste containing iron oxides and silica includes reacting the steel mill waste with an alkali aqueous solution in an amount sufficient to raise the pH to at least about 7 to solubilize silica to form soluble silicate compounds and silica gels and thereby produce a chemically reactive mixture. The mixture is reacted with an alkaline silicic compound to produce a solid, stable, non-polluting material.

The present invention provides a composition and a process for the preparation of chemical activated cold setting fly ash building construction materials. The chemical activator is an alkaline aqueous solution of 11.2 to 13.6 in pH and 1.25 to 1.40 gm/cc in density which contains admixtures of different concentrations of hydroxyl, sulfate, acetate and chloride bearing chemical salts of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and aluminum in water medium. The reaction of chemical activator solution and the mineral constituents of fly ash mix develop binding property. The binding matrix of chemical activated fly ash mix is mostly hydrous silica and silicate group of phases which on setting under atmospheric condition attains strength suitable for building construction application. Utilization of fly ash of any source by weight ranges from 80 to 99% in manufacture of building materials including heat and acid resistance and toxic waste disposal products.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a composition for solidifying soil and industrial waste. The solidifying composition contains 16-24 wt % of straight asphalt, 0.06-0.10 wt % of an emulsifier for asphalt, 0.8-1.2 wt % of light oil, heavy oil or a mixture thereof, 0.01-0.03 wt % of calcium chloride, 0.8-1.2 wt % of lignin, 0.7-1.3 wt % of an acrylic emulsion-based asphalt modifier, 0.13-0.21 wt % of sodium hydroxide, 0.22-0.34 wt % of oleic acid, and the balance of water. A solidified material formed using this solidifying composition has increased density, strength and elasticity, improved durability and a short curing time. Furthermore, the solidifying composition enables soil and industrial waste to be recycled as a substitute for stone materials, such that it allows material sources to be readily secured in public or construction work fields, leading to a reduction in construction cost, and can also contribute to the preservation of the natural environment.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a high strength magnesium slag brick and a method of producing the same. The high strength magnesium slag brick is composed of 60 to 80 percent by weight of furnace slag from the reduction process of a magnesium production, 15 to 25 percent by weight of crushed stones and/or pebbles, and 1 to 15 percent by weight of gypsum and/or lime. And the amount of water added to the composition is equivalent to 10 to 40 percent of the total weight of raw materials. The method includes dispensing of raw materials, adding of water, mingling, leaving it piled-up, pressing and molding, steam-bathing and drying to obtain the finished product. Gypsum, one of the raw materials of the slag brick, can be produced from the waste gas generated from the magnesium production process. And, the coal cinder or coal ash generated from the burning of coal in the magnesium production process, can also be used as one of the raw materials of the slag brick. This invention uses massive volume of furnace slag from the reduction process of a magnesium production, and together with aforesaid raw materials, to produce construction bricks, easing the environmental pollution problem on one hand, and introducing a new environmental building material on the other hand. The method of producing high strength magnesium slag brick of this invention is simple and is easy to manage. The raw materials are readily available. The production cycle is shorter than conventional processes. The strength of the magnesium slag brick meets the standard of construction brick. And most of all, it is very environmental friendly and economical.
Abstract:
The invention relates to mineral surface and intermediate sealing systems for waste tips or for the safeguarding of old contaminated sites, using industrial waste substances, and to a method of producing, preparing and installing them, to their use in recultivation layers and to a method of producing them, the industrial waste substances being used as substitute building materials in mineral sealing systems or recultivation layers, preferably while using bentonite-bonded used sands or powders from foundries and/or clarification slurries. In the mineral sealing layer for waste tips or for covering old contaminated sites and the method of producing it, natural earth building materials are replaced without the properties of the sealing substances being adversely affected. The advantage of the invention is that in the case of the mineral waste-tip sealings described according to the invention while using suitable water-absorptive additives, a mineral sealing material is produced which has better results with respect to the susceptibility to fissuring and the k-values Man is the case with the standard systems.
