mixtures of mineral aggregate and modified sulfur, wherein the modified sulfur functions as a binder, are termed sulfur concretes or sulfur mortars depending on the form of the mineral aggregate. molten sulfur reacted with olefinic additive, at 130-140 ºc, and then mixed with preheated filler and aggregates. sulfur mortar samples were prepared by mixing 32 % molten sulfur, 10 % filler and 58 % ...

Silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties such as high melting point, rigidity, and high temperatures strength. In this research, different amount of SiC were added to Silica refractory containing different binders such as Borax, Boric acid, Calcium nitride, Sodium tri poly phosphate, Sodium hexa meta phosphate (SHMP) and lime. Phy...

Abstract Water glass and silica-alumina sol were used as adhesives, uniformly mixed with silicon carbide powder. The effects of binder, binder concentration, sintering temperature, process on the granularity reconstruction SiC powders studied in detail. results show that when water is binding agent, vacuum can effectively inhibit oxidation carbide, suitable granulation samples are obtained at a...

Silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties such as particularly their high melting point and their rigidity and strength at high temperatures. In this research, different amount of SiC were added to Silica refractory containing different binders such as Borax, Boric acid, Calcium nitride, Sodium tri poly phosphate, Sodium hexametaph...

In this study two series of self compacting concrete mixtures were prepared with 100% coarse recycled concrete aggregates and different percentages of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% fine recycled concrete aggregates. In series I and II the water to binder ratios were 0.50 and 0.45, respectively. The cement content was kept 350 3 m kg for those mixtures that don't have any Nano-Silica. To impro...

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is an ultra high performance concrete which has superior mechanical and physical properties. The RPC is composed of cement and very fine powders such as crushed quartz (100–600 μm) and silica fume with very low water/binder ratio (W/B) (less than 0.20) and Super Plasticizer (SP). The RPC has a very high compressive and tensile strength with better durability prope...

Using nano-technology materials in the asphalt pavement industry is new compared with Portland cement concrete. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of nano-silica modification on some properties of a penetration grade asphalt cement and a typical asphalt concrete. 60/70 penetration grade bitumen was modified with different percentages of nano-silica (i.e. 1, 3 and 5%,...

This paper explores, for the first time, the possibility of carbonating waste metallic iron powder to develop sustainable binder systems for concrete. The fundamental premise of this work is that metallic iron will react with aqueous CO2 under controlled conditions to form complex iron carbonates which have binding capabilities. Chosen additives containing silica and alumina are added to facili...
