The method of making cement from limestone (CaCO 3) and low-silica bauxite (Al 2 O 3) was patented in France in 1908 by Bied of the Pavin de Lafarge Company. The initial development was as a result of the search for a cement offering sulfate resistance. The cement was known as "Ciment fondu" and "Ciment électro-fondu" in French. [2] [3]
This template has been created for transclusion in the articles Concrete, Cement, and Silica fume. It replaces the file at right. That file had been tagged for translation to SVG format, as if it were a graphic. But since it is really a table, I have re-rendered it in wiki markup.
Fondu Fyre is a heat and erosion resistant concrete developed during the Apollo space program. It was developed to withstand the supersonic plume of a rocket engine during launch and hot-fire tests [citation needed]. Allied Mineral Products based in Ohio holds the registered trademark on the name Fondu Fyre. [1]
Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending ...
In atmospheric chemistry, mixing ratio usually refers to the mole ratio r i, which is defined as the amount of a constituent n i divided by the total amount of all other constituents in a mixture: = The mole ratio is also called amount ratio. [2]
The "dilution factor" is an expression which describes the ratio of the aliquot volume to the final volume. Dilution factor is a notation often used in commercial assays. For example, in solution with a 1/5 dilution factor (which may be abbreviated as x5 dilution ), entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) with ...
Separate paste mixing has shown that the mixing of cement and water into a paste before combining these materials with aggregates can increase the compressive strength of the resulting concrete. [69] The paste is generally mixed in a high-speed , shear-type mixer at a w/c (water to cement ratio) of 0.30 to 0.45 by mass.
GGBS cement can be added to concrete in the concrete manufacturer's batching plant, along with Portland cement, aggregates and water. The normal ratios of aggregates and water to cementitious material in the mix remain unchanged. GGBS is used as a direct replacement for Portland cement, on a one-to-one basis by weight.
