Clay polymer nanocomposites may be mixed with an aggregate material and heat treated to make a structural stabilizer. In an embodiment, the composition is a structural stabilizer resulting from thermal casting and heat treatment. The structural stabilizer does not include cement or water. The heat treatment may be any suitable heat application, including microwave heating, convection oven heating or heating in thermal mixers. The structural stabilizer can be rapidly synthesized to provide high compressive strength and high homogeneity, and to be substantially free of fractures and cracks. Methods of repairing cracks in concrete and stabilizing soil, rock and sand dune formations using the structural stabilizer include thermal casting. Thermal casting ductile concrete molds can include a coating of aluminum foil. The concrete is self-compact, ecofriendly, lightweight, self-repairing and self pre-stressing with homogeneity and low density. The concrete resists steel corrosion, sudden collapse, and does not produce pollution.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for sequestering heavy metal atoms, including hazardous atoms such as lead and radiocesium, from contaminated areas. The heavy metal atoms may be removed by contacting the contaminated area with a potassium-depleted muscovite-enriched composition. The compositions may also be incorporated into building materials to create structures to safely house nuclear reactors and other devices which may accidentally release heavy metal atoms.

A method of forming a structure includes a) excavating a material; b) homogenizing the material; c) ensuring aluminosilicate levels in the material; d) increasing alkaline levels of the material; e) foaming the material; and f) injecting the material onto a surface, wherein the material forms into a foam-like structure when injected.

A method for soil remediation by molecular binding for producing beneficial use determined polymer concrete product that removes hazardous pollutants from a quantity of contaminated soil. Hazardous pollutants are identified though chemical analysis in order to select at least corresponding polymer and at least one corresponding binder for each hazardous pollutant present in the contaminated soil. The at least one polymer chemically bonds with the hazardous pollutant in order to neutralize the hazardous pollutant within the contaminated soil to form a polymer concrete product. The polymer concrete product is then used as a concrete substitute for construction applications.
