A curing agent for disposal of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) fly ash and a preparation method and use method thereof are provided. In the present disclosure, a loofah nanofiber crystal, a rice husk ash (RHA), sodium hydroxide, and water are adopted as raw materials to prepare the curing agent, and the curing agent can effectively realize the safe disposal and curing of heavy metals in an MSWI fly ash. The highest curing rates of the curing agent for heavy metals Pb.sup.2+, Zn.sup.2+, Cd.sup.2+, Cr.sup.3+, and Cu.sup.2+ can reach 99.7%, 99.4%, 99.5%, 98.7%, and 99.5%, respectively. The special three-dimensional (3D) cross-linked network structure of the loofah nanofiber crystal and the excellent physical and chemical adsorption properties and ion exchange capacity of the RHA are fully used in the curing agent of the present disclosure.

A geopolymer cement and a method of producing the same are provided. A geopolymer cement binder may be provided including a geopolymer precursor and magnesium oxide as an alkali activator. The geopolymer cement binder may be mixed with water using high shear mixing.

High-strength flowable fill compositions are disclosed. The compositions include cement, aggregate (e.g., sand), water, coloring agent, polymer, and fibers. In an embodiment, the compositions include an accelerant, e.g., calcium chloride or sodium bicarbonate and/or an air entraining agent. In an embodiment, the compositions include a water-proofing agent to eliminate efflorescence. The compositions have a compressive strength of between 300 psi and 3000 psi after 1 day, a compressive strength of between 900 psi and 4000 psi after 7 days, and a compressive strength of between 1200 psi and 5000 psi after 28 days.

Mineral binder compositions with accelerated setting and/or curing including a mineral binder, at least one free-radical initiator, and at least one catalyst for the at least one free-radical initiator. The mineral binder compositions accelerated setting and hardening and are especially useful for applications at low temperatures and even below 0? C.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a printable cementitious composition comprising a cement binder, an aggregate, at least one pozzolanic additive, an accelerator, water, and nanoclay.

Cementing in a subterranean formation may include, activating an extended-life cement composition by mixing at least the extended-life cement composition with a liquid activated pozzolan additive comprising a carrier fluid and an activated pozzolan, wherein the extended-life cement composition comprises water, pumice, hydrated lime, and a set retarder; introducing the extended-life cement composition into a subterranean formation; and allowing the extended-life cement composition to set to form a hardened mass in the subterranean formation.

Mineral fines reduce OPC content in concrete, mortar and other cementitious compositions, typically in combination with a pozzolanically active SCM. Mineral fines can replace and/or augment a portion of hydraulic cement and/or fine aggregate. Mineral fines can replace a portion of cement binder and fine aggregate as an intermediate that fills a size void between largest cement particles and smallest fine aggregate particles. Supplemental lime can enhance balance of calcium ions in the mix water and/or pore solution. Supplemental sulfate can address sulfate deficiencies caused by high clinker reduction, use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, and SCMs containing aluminates. Concentrated or pure carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) can be used to passivate alkaline values in highly alkaline materials, such as concrete washout fines, CKD, class C flyash, incinerator ash, bottom ash, or biomass ash. CO.sub.2 passivation or sequestration can be carried out before, during or after forming an initial concrete mix.

Disclosed herein are fire resistant compositions and articles, for example, in the form of boards, insulation, sheeting, blocks, panels and similar materials of construction. Also disclosed are methods of preparing fire resistant compositions and articles and methods of use thereof.

A red mud utilization method based on co-processing of industrial exhaust gas, sewage treatment and an environment-friendly and high-performance civil functional material, belongs to the technical field of environmental science and cementitious material preparation, and relates to a preparation process of a solid waste-based cementitious material, specifically including the steps: preparing an environment-friendly and high-performance red mud-based civil functional material by using slag obtained after sewage treatment with red mud and other solid wastes in physical and chemical activation and high-temperature calcination methods. The compressive strength of a solid waste-based cementitious material prepared by using the method can reach 29 MPa, the leaching quantity (lower than 3.0 ppm) of toxic elements such as heavy metals is far lower than the national standard requirement, and a solid waste-based cementitious material with great performance can be prepared.
