A filler for construction includes a hardening material, a fine powder as an admixture material, and sludge water obtained by separating sand and gravel from discharged water provided by washing concrete handling equipment.
Abstract:
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:
In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a coating composition. The coating composition comprises photocatalytic particles and an alkali metal silicate binder comprising a boric acid, borate, or combination thereof. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a coated article. The coated article has a photocatalytic coating with improved durability on its external surface that is formed from the aforesaid coating composition.
Abstract:
A refractory building structure includes a regeneration layer, and at least one non-metallic fiber layer mounted in the regeneration layer. The regeneration layer is coated on an outside of the non-metallic fiber layer and includes cement, mineral waste and adhesive. Thus, the refractory building structure efficiently reuses the waste material, thereby recycling the natural resources, and thereby reducing the environmental pollution.
Abstract:
Provided is a cement composition that has high fluidity (for example, a 0-drop flow value of 200 mm or more) before curing and exhibits high compressive strength (for example, 320 N/mm2 or more) after curing. The cement composition includes a cement, a silica fume having a BET specific surface area of from 10 m2/g to 25 m2/g, an inorganic powder having a 50% cumulative particle size of from 0.8 μm to 5 μm, a fine aggregate having a maximum particle size of 1.2 mm or less, a water reducing agent, an antifoaming agent, and water. The ratio of the cement is from 55 vol % to 65 vol %, the ratio of the silica fume is from 5 vol % to 25 vol %, and the ratio of the inorganic powder is from 15 vol % to 35 vol % in the total amount of 100 vol % of the cement, the silica fume, and the inorganic powder.
Abstract:
An amount-reduction, harmless, disposal method for heavy metal waste gypsum (HMWG), which belongs to the technical fields of recycling economy and environmental protection. The HMWG used as raw material is subjected to processes of smelting fluxpreparation, lead smelting, fuming, and geopolymeric gelling, to realize amount-reduction, harmless and resources recycling utilization of heavy metal waste gypsum. The smoke containing sulfur dioxide produced in the smelting process is sent to the acid making system, and the produced dust with heavy metal is sent to the dedicated system for heavy mental disposing. The smoke dust produced in the fuming process is returned to the lead smelting system. The secondary HMWG produced in the acid making system would be returned to the preparation process of smelting flux. And the final products would be sulfuric acid and geopolymer material.
Abstract:
A method of forming an aggregate. The method comprising forming a green pellet including waste glass and additive(s). The unfired pellets are coated with a refractory material and sintered such that some of the additive/additives breaks down to generate gas which is at least partially retained in the microstructure of the mixture to form pores, the additive/additives so being that upon heating the additive/additives and glass combine to produce glass ceramics.
