Abstract:
There is described a cement composition, based on hydraulic binders, adapted to obtain coatings with a high photocatalytic activity and improved rheologic characteristics, including a hydraulic binder, a polycarboxylic or acrylic superfluidifying agent, a cellulosic ether with a viscosity in the range between 10000 and 120000 mPa.s, an adhesive agent, a calcareous, silicic or silicic- calcareous filler and a photocatalyst.
Abstract:
A cement composition based on a sulfoaluminate clinker is described, together with its use for agglomerating and inerting sediment /dredging sludge, and the relative inerting method and apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solid mixture and a coating or painting based on a sulfo-aluminous or sulfo-ferroaluminous clinker, the relative use as coating or painting of cementitious- and non- cementitious-based supports, in particular as coating or painting of cementitious -based pipes.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a process for purifying a flow of combustion fumes from a clinker production plant comprising the following operating steps: a) removing dust at a temperature comprised between 250 and 400°C from a flow of combustion fumes exiting from a suspension preheater with formation of a flow of combustion fumes free of dust; b) carrying out on said flow of combustion fumes free of dust a selective catalytic NOx reduction treatment with a reducing agent, with formation of a purified flow of combustion fumes. The present invention also concerns an apparatus for carrying out the aforementioned process.
Abstract:
Solid mixture for the preparation of concrete which after 16 hours has a mechanical resistance higher or equal to 50 MPa comprising cement and limestone aggregates, substantially lacking latent hydraulic activity, characterized by the presentation of a specific granulometric distribution curve.
Abstract:
Described herein are new cementitious mortars with a high degree of fluidity and high final resistance. The mortars contain water, a hydraulic binder, a pozzolanic substance (finely ground slag), a fluidifier and/or superfluidifier, a setting regulator, and aggregates having a specific granulometric distribution. The aggregates are made up of three highly monogranular fractions (A, B, C), and a fourth fraction (D) having a low monogranularity. The new mortars described herein have values of fluidity higher, by approximately 70%, than those of mortars produced with traditional aggregates. The increase in fluidity is obtained without increasing the water/cement ratio and without increasing the amount of fluidifiers/superfluidifiers present. The mortars produced according to the invention may be used to advantage in all applications in which it is required to associate a high degree of fluidity and a high final mechanical resistance, both in compression and in flexure.
Abstract:
Described herein are new cementitious mortars with a high degree of fluidity and short consolidation times. The mortars contain water, a fast-setting cement, fluidifiers and/or superfluidifiers, setting regulators and aggregates having a specific granulometric distribution. The aggregates are made up of two fractions with different grain size such that the ratio between the characteristic grain diameters of the two fractions is comprised between 2.2 and 3.2. The new mortars thus obtained have values of fluidity 2-3 times higher than those of mortars produced with traditional aggregates; the increase in fluidity is obtained without increasing the water/cement ratio and without increasing the amount of fluidifiers present. The mortars produced according to the invention may be used to advantage in all applications in which it is required to associate a high degree of fluidity and a rapid consolidation.
Abstract:
Herein described is a process for the preparation of carbon-doped titanium, comprising irradiating the titanium dioxide under specific conditions of wavelength, wherein the titanium dioxide is exposed to a gas flow comprising an inert gas and an organic compound. The titanium dioxide thus treated acquires high and efficient photocatalytic action, maintaining the specific surface area thereof substantially unaltered. The process is highly efficient, reproducible, and has low management costs.
Abstract:
Described herein is the use of new cementitious mortars with a high degree of fluidity and short consolidation times in the production of cementitious products by means of pouring in foundry moulds. The mortars used contain water, a fast-setting cement, fluidifiers and/or superfluidifiers, setting regulators, and aggregates having a specific granulometric distribution. The aggregates are made up of two fractions with different grain size such that the ratio between the characteristic grain diameters of the two fractions is comprised between 2.2 and 3.2. The new mortars thus obtained have values of fluidity 2-3 times higher than those of mortars produced with traditional aggregates. The mortars thus produced are particularly suitable for filling, in a homogeneous way and without any application of vibration, foundry earth moulds; solidification in the moulds takes place in a short time and leads to the formation of products, including ones of a complex shape, with precise outlines and having good mechanical characteristics.
