The method is for use with a substrate having a plurality of parallel channels extending therethrough. In the method, the steps comprise: filling a selected plurality of the channels with a granular material; and consolidating the granular material through heat. The selected plurality of channels is selected to produce a wall that separates the substrate into: a first portion having a first plurality of the parallel channels extending therethrough; and a second portion having a second plurality of the parallel channels extending therethrough.

In some embodiments, a method may include preparing building forms including at least some cementitious materials. The method for preparing forms may include mixing substantially dry cementitious material particles with closed cell foam particles to form a substantially dry composition. In some embodiment, at least some of the cementitious material particles may adhere to at least some surface deformations on the surface of the closed cell foam particles. In some embodiments, the method may include mixing a second portion of water with the substantially dry composition for a second period of time to form a partially wet composition. In some embodiments, a method may include forming a building form including at least some cementitious materials from the partially wet composition. In some embodiments, the closed cell foam particles may include expanded polystyrene. In some embodiments, a ratio of the water to cementitious material particles may range from 0.20 to 0.40.

An article made of conglomerate material comprising an aggregate comprising granules of expanded glass or expanded ceramic/clay defining between them inter-granular cavities and a binding resin. The binding resin is present in the minimum amount required to coat the granules of expanded glass or expanded ceramic/clay and the inter-granular cavities contain only air and are devoid of filling material. The binding resin is present in an amount equal to about 6-16% of the volume of the article and is a thermosetting resin obtained by means of reaction between an epoxidized unsaturated fatty acid triglyceride and a carboxylic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst.

A method for preparing concrete based on GGBS, silicon-aluminum compounds and CO.sub.2 waste gas includes: putting a certain quantity of GGBS, silicon-aluminum compounds and water into a ball milling tank; introducing CO.sub.2 waste gas into the tank, and stopping the introduction when gas pressure in the tank reaches a standard; and starting the ball milling tank, and repeating the gas charging and ball milling for multiple times until a median size reaches the standard and CO.sub.2 is completely reacted and adsorbed by the GGBS, and finally preparing concrete from a GGBS mixture meeting requirements. According to the method, by adding the silicon-aluminum compounds into the GGBS, and under a mechanical action of the ball milling machine, the GGBS is promoted to react with and adsorb CO.sub.2.

A process produces building materials with inert materials capable of remaining durably solid and with a low environmental impact. The process includes mixing sand, sodium hydroxide and possibly additives, adding calcined kaolin, adding sodium silicate and/or a mixture of sodium silicate and potassium hydroxide, and adding photocatalytic titanium dioxide.
