  2. Particulates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulates

    The composition of PM generated from cutting or mixing concrete made with Portland Cement would be different from those generated from cutting or mixing concrete made with different types of slag (e.g. GGBFS, EAF slag [171]), fly ash or even EAF dust (EAFD), [172] while EFAD, slag and fly ash are likely to be more toxic as they contain heavy ...

  3. Dust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust

    Dust-producing surfaces cover one-third of the global land area. These are made up of hyper-arid regions like the Sahara, which covers 0.9 billion hectares, and drylands, which occupy 5.2 billion hectares. [5] Dust in the atmosphere is produced by saltation and abrasive sandblasting of sand-sized grains, and it is transported through the ...

    They are the main binding phase (the "glue") in most concrete. Only well defined and rare natural crystalline minerals can be abbreviated as CSH while extremely variable and poorly ordered phases without well defined stoichiometry , as it is commonly observed in hardened cement paste (HCP), are denoted C-S-H.

  5. Mineral dust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_dust

    Mineral dust is mainly constituted of the oxides (SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, FeO, Fe 2 O 3, CaO, and others) and carbonates (CaCO 3, MgCO 3) that constitute the Earth's crust.The composition of mineral dust, usually named in atmospheric sciences as mineralogy composition, is relevant for different physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, for example, oxides with iron have an effect in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    The first expanded polystyrene ICF Wall forms were developed in the late 1960s with the expiration of the original patent and the advent of modern foam plastics by BASF. [citation needed] Canadian contractor Werner Gregori filed the first patent for a foam concrete form in 1966 with a block "measuring 16 inches high by 48 inches long with a tongue-and-groove interlock, metal ties, and a waffle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_bunny

    Dust bunnies (or dustbunnies) are small clumps of dust that form under furniture and in corners that are not cleaned regularly. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are made of hair, lint , flakes of dead skin, spider webs , dust, and sometimes light rubbish and debris and are held together by static electricity and felt -like entanglement.

  8. Building material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_material

    Concrete is a composite building material made from the combination of aggregate and a binder such as cement. The most common form of concrete is Portland cement concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally gravel and sand), portland cement and water. After mixing, the cement hydrates and eventually hardens into a stone-like ...

  9. Grout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grout

    Grout is generally a mixture of water, cement, and sand, and it frequently gets employed in efforts such as pressure grouting, embedding rebar in masonry walls, connecting sections of precast concrete, filling voids, and sealing joints such as those between tiles. Common uses for grout in the household include filling in tiles of shower floors ...
