Stone based copolymer substrate

Номер: US20120071574A1
Автор: Mathew D. MacLeod
Принадлежит: Green Folks and MacLeod LLC

A stone based copolymer substrate includes calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from approximately fifty to eighty-five percent (50-85%) by weight and varying in size generally from 1.0 to 3.0 microns, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) from approximately two to twenty-five percent (2-25%) by weight and a biopolymer from approximately two to twenty-five percent (2-25%) by weight. The substrate may include a biodegradation additive from approximately three fourths of a percent to two percent (0.75-2%) by weight. By selectively adjusting the ranges of the substrate's components, various products can be made to replace current tree-based and plastic-based products. The substrate can be configured to be tear proof, water proof, fade resistant and fire retardant while utilizing less energy and producing less waste during its manufacture. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the stone used in the substrate includes limestone.

Method of treating an alkaline granular carbonatable material

Номер: US20120195814A1

The invention concerns a method of treating an alkaline granular carbonatable material which contains aluminium metal and which has in particular a pH of at least 10. The method comprises an oxidation step wherein at least a portion of said aluminium metal is oxidised by contact with moisture. The aluminium should be oxidised to avoid swelling problems when using the granular material as aggregate. In the method according to the invention this oxidation is accelerated by providing at least one oxidising agent in said moisture, which oxidising agent has a higher redox potential than the water contained in said moisture. The method further comprises a carbonation step wherein the granular carbonatable material is at least partially carbonated to lower the pH thereof. In this way the formation of ettringite, which may also release aluminium ions which causing further swelling problems, can be avoided in the granular material or any ettringite present therein can be destabilised.

Sorbent components containing halogen, calcium, alumina, and silica are used in combination during coal combustion to produce environmental benefits. Sorbents such as calcium bromide are added to the coal ahead of combustion and other components are added into the flame or downstream of the flame, preferably at minimum temperatures to assure complete formation of the refractory structures that result in various advantages of the methods. When used together, the components reduce emissions of elemental and oxidized mercury; increase the level of Hg, As, Pb, and/or Cl in the coal ash; decrease the levels of leachable heavy metals (such as Hg) in the ash, preferably to levels below the detectable limits; and make a highly cementitious ash product.

The carefully controlled addition of inorganic fillers to calcium sulfoaluminate rapid-setting cements can lead to significant improvement and optimization of its properties. Generally, prior art achieves cement optimization using costly and unstable organic additives. In the present invention, the addition of three inorganic additives such as coal ash, limestone or kiln dust led to appreciable improvement in the properties of calcium sulfoaluminate-containing cements. The addition of coal fly ash led to increased compressive strength and freeze-thaw durability while decreasing shrinkage and autoclave expansion. The addition of limestone was shown to control the compressive strength while not affecting the setting time, and the addition of cement kiln dust was shown to control the compressive strength while increasing the setting time. And finally, the presence of a super plasticizing agent was shown to negatively affect both compressive strength and shrinkage when used in combination with fly ash. 1.

Mineral fines reduce OPC content in concrete, mortar and other cementitious compositions, typically in combination with a pozzolanically active SCM. Mineral fines can replace and/or augment a portion of hydraulic cement and/or fine aggregate. Mineral fines can replace a portion of cement binder and fine aggregate as an intermediate that fills a size void between largest cement particles and smallest fine aggregate particles. Supplemental lime can enhance balance of calcium ions in the mix water and/or pore solution. Supplemental sulfate can address sulfate deficiencies caused by high clinker reduction, use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, and SCMs containing aluminates. Concentrated or pure carbon dioxide (CO) can be used to passivate alkaline values in highly alkaline materials, such as concrete washout fines, CKD, class C flyash, incinerator ash, bottom ash, or biomass ash. COpassivation or sequestration can be carried out before, during or after forming an initial concrete mix. 1.
