A method for stabilizing a wellbore includes introducing a hardening agent into the wellbore, mixing the hardening agent with a carrier fluid in the wellbore to produce a wellbore stabilizing fluid, and treating a wellbore wall of the wellbore by contacting the wellbore stabilizing fluid to a surface of the wellbore wall for at least 48 hours. A wellbore stabilizing fluid includes a hardening agent and a carrier fluid. The hardening agent is selected from one of 10 to 100 g/L of the calcium hydroxide nanocrystals, 5 to 99.9% by volume of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and 10 to 50 g/L of zinc sulfate. A stabilized wellbore includes a wellbore having a wellbore wall treated with a wellbore stabilizing fluid comprising a hardening agent. The Young's modulus of the treated wellbore wall is at least 5% higher than a Young's modulus of a non-treated wellbore wall.

An adhesive for moss and a method for preparing the adhesive are provided, wherein the method includes steps of: adding melamine, urea, attapulgite and sepiolite powder into a ball milling tank, and adding milling balls into the ball milling tank for ball milling; then collecting ball-milled materials; adding konjac glucomannan, chitosan and collagen into water and stirring, wherein during stirring, half of the ball-milled materials are added into the water; then adding latex powder, stearic acid and ammonium zirconium carbonate, and stirring, wherein during stirring, the other half of the ball-milled materials are added into the water. The adhesive for moss can be used for bonding moss with sufficient bonding effect, which is environment-friendly and will not harm the moss; meanwhile, the konjac glucomannan, the chitosan, the collagen attapulgite and the sepiolite powder which are contained in the adhesive can provide nutrition for the moss.

Synthetic pozzolans are produced using local materials to provide a cementitious material that is uniform in chemistry and properties independent of the location where the materials are obtained. Two methods of production are described. One is a high temperature process in which materials are processed in a semi-molten or molten state. The second process is a low temperature aqueous process.

A method of making a carbonated supplementary cementitious material is described that includes: selecting a raw material; reacting the raw material to form a synthetic formulation that can undergo a carbonation reaction; reacting the synthetic formulation with CO2 in the presence of water to form a carbonated supplemental cementitious material comprising calcium silicate and amorphous silica; subjecting the supplemental cementitious material to one or more of deagglomeration and grinding to produce a particle size distribution having a d10 of 1-5 μm and a d50 of 8-15 μm.

A method for manufacturing a binder of a hydratable material includes providing a starting material from one or more raw materials convertible by tempering at 600 to 1200° C. into the hydratable material, tempering the starting material to provide the hydratable material containing not more than 10% by weight monocalcium silicate and at least 15% by weight hydratable phases in the form of lime and dicalcium silicate, wherein the residence time and the tempering temperature are adapted to obtain the hydratable material by converting not more than 80% by weight of the starting material, and cooling the hydratable material to provide the binder comprising the hydratable material. The binder can be mixed with water and optionally one or more of aggregate, additives, admixtures to obtain a binder paste that is placed, hydrated and carbonated to produce a building product.
