  2. Binder (material) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binder_(material)

    Based on their chemical resistance, binders are classified by the field of use: non-hydraulic (gypsum, air-cements, magnesia, hydrated lime), hydraulic (Roman cement, portland cement, hydraulic lime), acid-resistant (silicon fluoride cement, quartz cement), and autoclavable (harden at 170 to 300°ะก i.e. 8-16 atm pressure and, e.g., comprise ...

  3. Cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement

    Cement materials can be classified into two distinct categories: hydraulic cements and non-hydraulic cements according to their respective setting and hardening mechanisms. Hydraulic cement setting and hardening involves hydration reactions and therefore requires water, while non-hydraulic cements only react with a gas and can directly set ...

  4. Roman concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_concrete

    The Romans first used hydraulic concrete in coastal underwater structures, probably in the harbours around Baiae before the end of the 2nd century BC. [12] The harbour of Caesarea is an example (22-15 BC) of the use of underwater Roman concrete technology on a large scale, [10] for which enormous quantities of pozzolana were imported from ...

  5. Sticky rice mortar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_rice_mortar

    Sticky rice mortar was invented in ancient China utilizing organic materials in inorganic mortar. Hydraulic mortar was not available in ancient China, possibly due to a lack of volcanic ash . Around 500 CE, sticky rice soup was mixed with slaked lime to make an inorganic−organic composite mortar that had more strength and water resistance ...

  6. Calcium aluminate cements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_aluminate_cements

    Concrete pipes for sewerage can be made either with full mass calcium aluminate cement concrete or with an internal liner of calcium aluminate cement mortar. Rehabilitation of man-accessible sewer infrastructures with 100% calcium aluminate mortar using one of the following placing methods: low pressure wet spray, spinning head wet spray, or ...

  7. Hydraulic lime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_lime

    Eminently hydraulic lime (NHL 5) is used for external work in exposed areas, such as chimneys and for floor slabs/underpinning. Eminently hydraulic lime contains clay in the range of 21% to 30%. Properties of eminently hydraulic lime are close to those of cement. Eminently hydraulic lime sets within one day after the addition of water.

  8. Cement kiln - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_kiln

    Cement kilns are used for the pyroprocessing stage of manufacture of portland and other types of hydraulic cement, in which calcium carbonate reacts with silica-bearing minerals to form a mixture of calcium silicates. Over a billion tonnes of cement are made per year, and cement kilns are the heart of this production process: their capacity ...

  9. Rosendale cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosendale_cement

    Other companies continue the tradition of liberal use of the name "Rosendale cement" to market its natural hydraulic cement, though the materials for this product are extracted elsewhere. [21] Unlike the exhausted or inaccessible sources elsewhere, the mines in Rosendale, New York, still hold countless accessible tons of the highest quality ...
