in this study, rice husk and sodium silicate solution were used to produce particleboards. sodium silicate was used as bonding aid by 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 and zero percent (based on rice husk dry weight). to modify the mechanism of bondability, one percent of 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (mdi) was added for every five percent less sodium silicate solution. the effect of diisocyanate on bondab...

To evaluate the physiological responses of chrysanthemum to silicon spray in non-stress conditions, this study was performed in two separate experiments (at 4 to 5 and 8 to 12-leaf stages) as a factorial randomized completely design with two factors: silicon source (in two levels: sodium silicate and calcium silicate) and the concentration of silicate at five levels (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg ...

induction of systemic resistance to cucumber against marginal leaf blight disease caused by pseudomonas marginalis using silicon application (as 1 &2 mm of sodium silicate) was studied under greenhouse conditions. results indicated that application of 2 mm of sodium silicate remarkably increased resistance in cucumber against the pathogen. according to the results, disease severity in plants tr...

a new chemical grouting method has been developed for conglomerate formations based on the experimental studies. due to the lack of chemical grouting experience of conglomerate formations, the testing programs were performed to evaluate the performance of chemical grouting in the water sealing of part of conglomerate foundation of karkheh earth dam using a combination of field and laboratory te...

the effects of cementation and the physical properties of grains on the shear behavior of grouted sands are investigated in this paper. the consolidated-undrained triaxial shear behavior of three grouted carbonate sands with different physical properties, including particle size distribution, particle shape and void ratio, was studied. two sands were obtained from the north shores of the persia...

This paper examines the compressive strength of sodium silicate bonded cores for aluminum casting with different additives. Various materials are used as additives among which it is found that 5% sand size bauxite has the best effect on both gas strength and de-coring 98.5% silica content sand with 70-90 AFS No. with 4% sodium silicate is used. The results indicate that although very good colla...

The paper presents the effect of different synthesis parameters, such as (a) fly ash to alkaline solution ratio, (b) concentration of NaOH solution, (c) concentration of sodium silicate solution, (d) geopolymer solids to water ratio and (e) sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide solution ratio, on the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete synthesized from fly ash of Indian origin. It is obse...

Purpose – method of gluing with pure silicon silicate solute (SSS) molds and cores made structured sand-sodiumsilicate mixtures (SSSM) investigation, which solidification has been realized by microwave radiation, engineering for calculating the minimum admissible tensile strength joint elaboration. Methodology. Quartz sand grade 1K3O3016 RS (GOST 13078-81) modulus 2.9 specific density 1.44 g/cm...

Four alkaline biosolids were produced from sewage sludge using lime, lime/sodium silicate, cement and cement/sodium silicate. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), single chemical extraction and sequential extraction were used to determine the characteristics of alkaline biosolids and untreated sewage sludge. The results of extr...
