Abstract

An environmentally friendly cement comprises (1) an active filler comprising waste materials composed of a thermal insulation wool and a waste thereof; (2) an inert filler comprising metakaolin and an aggregate optionally selected from cement, fine sand, gravel, waste to be solidified, and organic resin; and (3) an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate as an alkaline compound. A method for producing the environmentally friendly cement comprises mixing ingredients (1) and (3) and ingredients (2) and (3) respectively to obtain a slurry A and a slurry B respectively; mixing the slurry A and B; and hardening the final slurry, whereby elements silicon and aluminum in the ingredient (1) are dissolved out in the basic solution of the ingredient (3), and a closed framework structure is formed by bonding silica and alumina as tetrahedrons. The environmentally friendly cement has excellent fire tolerance, heat insulation, acid and alkaline resistance, and mechanical properties.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An environmentally friendly cement, comprising (1) an active filler, comprising waste materials composed of a thermal insulation wool and a waste thereof; (2) an inert filler, comprising metakaolin; and (3) an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate as an alkaline compound, wherein the SiO 2 /Na 2 O ratio and SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio in the environmentally friendly cement is in the range of 4.31-4.46 and 3.06-3.31 respectively.

2. A method for preparing an environmentally friendly cement comprising a mixture of (1) an active filler, comprising waste materials composed of a thermal insulation wool and a waste thereof; (2) an inert filler, comprising metakaolin; and (3) an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate as an alkaline compound, the method comprising the steps of (a) mixing the ingredient (1) with the ingredient (3), to obtain a first slurry; then mixing the ingredient (2) with the ingredient (3), to obtain a second slurry; subsequently, mixing the first slurry with the second slurry, to obtain a final slurry; and then hardening the final slurry; and then hardening the finally mixed slurry, wherein thermal insulation wool and the waste thereof used in the ingredient (1) have a SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 7.0-9.5, the metakaolin in the ingredient (2) has a SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio of 1.5-2.3, and wherein the sodium metasilicate in the ingredient (3) has a SiO 2 /Na 2 O ratio of 1.5-1.8.

3. The method for producing an environmentally friendly cement according to claim 2 , wherein the SiO 2 /Na 2 O ratio and SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio in the environmentally friendly cement is in the range of 4.31-4.46 and 3.06-3.31 respectively.
