    摘要: An admixture for making a high-strength concrete with any type of water, including potable water, freshwater, saltwater, brackish water, reclaimed water or any other non-potable water. The admixture consists of basalt fibers, graphene nanoplatelets, calcium sulfide, calcium chloride, magnesium oxide and nanoclays. The admixture can be added to the cement to supplement it to increase the overall compressive strength, or the amount of cement used can be reduced by the amount of admixture added to shorten cure times. A concrete mix can also be prepared by replacing the calcium chloride with silica fume, reducing the amount of cement used, and introducing locally sourced aggregates, coarse and fine, to yield Ultra High Performance Concrete. Products made from the concrete incorporating the admixture have increased compression strength, improved cure times, reduced water consumption and corrosion, increased durability and workability, drastically reduced freeze-thaw effects, and superior crack control.

    摘要: A process for the efficient and cost-effective preparation of graphene from a natural source of carbon, resulting from the combination of mild, natural acids, including citric and acetic acids, with sonic frequency, as well as the use of magnets, to exfoliate graphene nanoplatelets from the natural carbon source. The natural carbon source, referred to as Biochar, can be any organic matter based and converted via pyrolytic and/or gasification means. The process includes tuning the frequency of sound energy to maximize the rate of exfoliation to a resonant frequency with the feed material itself, with a range anywhere between 1 Hz-1 THz. The use of magnets, including ferrous magnets, applies electromagnetic pressure on the as yet exfoliated Biochar fragments, which moves the fragments into the field of sound energy. The resonant exfoliation process that takes place within the bath itself, results in the hexagonal structure needed to produce graphene.
