摘要:
A composition for improving the freeze thaw durability of masonry concrete comprising (i) an alkylaryl polyether alcohol having the formula R-Ø-(OCH2CH2)xOH, wherein R is a C4-C8 alkyl group (preferably branched), Ø represents a phenol group, and “X” represents an integer in the range of 3-70; and (ii) at least one efflorescence control admixture, such as a C8-C30 fatty acid or its salt or derivative. An exemplary masonry concrete composition of the invention comprises an alkylaryl polyether alcohol having the formula R-Ø-(OCH2CH2)xOH, wherein R is a C4-C8 alkyl group, Ø represents a phenol group, and “X” represents an integer in the range of 3-70; the composition, when wet, having essentially zero slump when tested by the standard cone method for measuring slump. Methods of improving the freeze-thaw durability of masonry units are also disclosed.
摘要:
A masonry concrete, for use in making segmental retaining wall units, pavers, blocks, and the like, having zero slump and incorporating betaine for improving freeze-thaw durability, and optionally efflorescent control agents and/or water reducer agents. Exemplary admixtures and methods of improving the freeze-thaw durability of masonry units are also disclosed.
摘要:
An admixture for minimizing or preventing dust on surfaces of cured cement and concrete structures comprises a shrinkage reducing additive in combination with a fatty alcohol. Cementitious compositions containing the admixture, and methods for reducing dusting on cement structures, are also described.
摘要:
Flexible metal foil catalyst members suitable for use in catalytic devices for combustion engine emission control are prepared by electrophoretic deposition using an aqueous slurry of catalyst support particles. The deposited support layer is of uniform thickness and stable surface area. The catalyst support may then be impregnated with catalytic species and assembled into a catalytic device. The catalyst members from the invention are especially suitable for use in automotive applications, and more especially in electrically heated catalytic devices.
摘要:
A cement admixture composed of a low molecular weight oxyalkylene compound and a comb polymer having carboxylic acid groups and oxyalkylene units therein.
摘要:
A cementitious composition is disclosed whereby visible efflorescence is prevented when formed into a cement masonry concrete unit. Efflorescence is controlled by incorporation of a polymer comprising a polyacrylic acid or salt or derivative thereof having an average molecular weight in the range of 5004-9,000, and more preferably in the average molecular weight range of 1,000 to 10,000.
摘要:
A bioremediation support for the support of microorganisms used in the biotreatment of an aqueous waste stream or contaminated vapor is made of a low-density siliceous glassy material. This material has a cellular or frothy texture, large pores of greater than 1,000 Anstrom units in diameter dispersed throughout the material, a high macropore volume in pores of greater than 1,000 .ANG. of more than 0.3 cc/cc and a BET surface area of greater than 10 m.sup.2 /g. A preferred material is pumice.
摘要:
A proteinaceous gelatin binder is used to make aqueous green ceramic compositions suitable for forming green ceramic tape by tape casting. Any known ceramic may be used. The tapes may be fired individual or as a laminate to produce sintered ceramic articles.
摘要:
A concrete composition capable of inhibiting shrinkage of structural concrete structures is disclosed. The concrete is formed with an admixture composed of at least one secondary/tertiary alkanediol.
