摘要:
A method is disclosed for improving the strength and impermeability of soils or engineering structures, which comprises the steps of:(a) applying to the site of the soil or of the engineering structure, an alkaline water glass solution comprising water glass in an amount of 15 to 40% by weight, calculated as dry substance;(b) allowing a time period to pass sufficient to permit the alkali present in the water glass solution to move by diffusion;(c) applying to the same site as in step (a), a silicic acid sol comprising SiO.sub.2 in an amount of 5 to 50% by weight calculated as dry substance, and an organic dispersion medium in which 10 to 100% by volume of the dispersion medium consists of a water-miscible organic solvent capable of reacting with the alkali content of the water glass solution applied during step (a), thereby gellifying the water glass so that the reaction product of the water-miscible organic solvent and the alkali content of the water glass is trapped within the gelled water glass; and(d) allowing a time period to pass sufficient to permit the respective organic dispersion medium present in the silicic acid sol to move by diffusion, so that gellification of the water glass takes place evenly when mixing of the water glass solution applied during step (a) and the silicic acid sol applied during step (c) to the soils or to the engineering structures takes place to effect a plasticizing effect on the resulting water glass gel.

A time-delayed hardener composition for aqueous alkali metal silicate solutions, the total formulation, and its application for soil stabilization, in which the hardener composition consists essentially 20 to 60% by weight of dimethyl carbonate and the balance to 100% by weight of diethyl carbonate.
摘要:
A process for sealing geological formations and mine stoppings by applying to these substrates an aqueous, non-cementitious caulk composition comprising an alkali metal silicate; filler material including at least one silica product or silicate other than an alkali metal silicate; a water-soluble or water-dispersible acrylic polymer modifier; and water, and allowing the caulk composition to dry to form an air flow resistant seal on the substrates. A highly satisfactory polymeric modifier is used in the form of a polymer emulsion, such as an emulsion of a self-plasticizing acrylic polymer having a low Tg.
摘要:
Waterglass solutions are mixed with polyisocyanates and these emulsions are then left to harden in the formations. Introduction of the mixture into the formations which are required to be consolidated, e.g. deposits of coal, is mainly carried out by forcing the mixture under pressure into bore-holes in the formations. According to one variation of the process, the components of the mixture are introduced into the multi-chamber cartridges which are introduced into the bore-holes and then destroyed as the components are mixed. Certain additives such as accelerators, blowing agents, polyols, stabilizers and/or thixotropic agents are advantageous for the quality of the composite masses formed by hardening of the mixture.
摘要:
A soil consolidation composition and method of use involving an aqueous composition of an alkali metal silicate and a gelling agent, the composition having a viscosity sufficiently low (about 1 or 2 cps) so that it can penetrate to a pre-determined depth in a friable sandstone substrate to consolidate the substrate with the concentration of the silicate being sufficient to be gelled by the gelling agent after achievement of the penetration into the substrate.
摘要:
In the stabilization of soil which comprises injecting into soil a mixture of (A) an aqueous sodium silicate solution and (B) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of chlorides, sulfates and nitrates of aluminum, magnesium and iron, and then gelling the injected mixture in soil, the formation of a large amount of the metal hydroxide precipitate on mixing the components (A) and (B) can be prevented by adding (C) at least one oxy acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid and lactic acid to any one of the components (A) and (B).
