  2. Chemical purity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_purity

    ACS grade is the highest level of purity, and meets the standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The official descriptions of the ACS levels of purity is documented in the Reagent Chemicals publication, issued by the ACS. [3] [4] It is suitable for food and laboratory uses. Reagent grade is almost as stringent as the ACS grade.

    Sodium gluconate is a compound with formula NaC 6 H 11 O 7. [2] It is the sodium salt of gluconic acid.Its E number is E576. This white, water-soluble powder has a wide range of applications across industries.

  4. Cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

    A cement is a binder, a chemical substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel together. Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete. Concrete is the most ...

  5. Portland cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_cement

    The most common use for portland cement is in the production of concrete. [17] Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element.

    The higher the water solubility of the ester, the faster the hardening of the sand. [citation needed] Method 3 requires microwave energy to heat and dehydrate the mixture of sand and sodium silicate in the sand molding box or core box. The forming tools must pass through microwaves for this to work well.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_chemist_notation

    The phase composition of a particular cement can be quantified through a complex set of calculation known as the Bogue formula. To avoid the flash setting of concrete, due to the very fast hydration of the tricalcium aluminate (C 3 A), 2–5 wt. % calcium sulfate is interground with the cement clinker to prepare the cement powder.

  9. Concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete

    Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, [1] and is the most widely used building material. [2] Its usage worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that of steel, wood, plastics, and aluminium combined. [3]
