The disclosure relate generally to structures, forms, and monoliths, and methods of preparing the same. This disclosure can produce uniform structured passageways or channels of active material, including adsorbent or catalyst, by imprinting or molding features into a paste on a support that can be subsequently assembled into a gas or liquid treating structure, i.e. a monolith. The paste, which can include an active material, binder, and other potential additives, can be applied to the support or pushed through a support (as in a mesh) as a thin film. The paste can be imprinted, stamped, shaped or otherwise handled to give features of desired height, shape, width, and positioning. When stacked or rolled, the features of one layer contact a subsequent layer, which seal to form passageways. The resulting structure can have high cell-density (>1000 cells per square inch) and a large volume fraction of active material.

A cementitious adhesive composition, in particular a tile adhesive, especially for use in automatic tiling systems, includes 10-70 wt.-% of a hydraulic binder, in particular cement, 20-90 wt.-% of aggregates, in particular sand and/or calcium carbonate, and 0.01-5 wt.-% cellulose ether.

The present invention provides a method of repairing a plaster ceiling. The plaster ceiling to be repaired by the above described method includes: plates bridged across joists and spaced apart from each other; a ceiling base material finished with a masonry trowel over the lower surfaces of the plates; and a ceiling finishing material formed over the lower surface of the ceiling base material. The above described method includes the steps of: drilling an injection hole extending from the upper surface of the plate to the interface between the plate and the ceiling base material; injecting an acrylic resin composition containing: at least one monomer selected from an acrylic monomer or an methacrylic monomer; a thermosetting resin; and a curing agent; through the injection hole into the interface between the plate and the ceiling base material; and curing the acrylic resin composition so that the plate and the ceiling base material are adhered to each other. The invention also provides the use of the above described method.

A preparation method of heat-resistant adhesive of silicon-boron-carbon-zirconium modified aluminum-zirconium phosphate for zirconium oxide ceramics is provided. The high-temperature adhesive can generate various high-temperature resistant phases such as zirconia, aluminum phosphate, zirconium phosphate and aluminum borate in situ of the high-temperature adhesive at high temperatures. As the processing temperature increases, the content of zirconia in the high-temperature adhesive continuously increases, and the composition tends to form a stable composite phase mainly composed of aluminum phosphate and zirconia, which makes the composition of the high-temperature adhesive closer to that of zirconia ceramics.

Use of a foam mortar as a bonding agent for floorings, includes the foam mortar containing protective colloid-stabilized polymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers.

Beneficial use structures are disclosed that include coal combustion residuals (CCR) mixed with water and a binder to form a structural material, and adapted to be compacted for use in the formation of the beneficial use structure. Various structures having beneficial uses are described, including compressed air storage facilities and a pumped hydroelectric facility, including such a facility adapted for use with a lock system of a waterway.

Methods of formulating, premixed cement-based tiling compositions and application of such premixed cement-based tiling compositions as an adhesive or grout. The premixed cement-based tiling compositions include a premixed cementitious formulation having a pH and an alkali activation constituent. The premixed cementitious formulation includes an aluminous or a calcium aluminate cement slurry in an amount of about 35 wt. % to 50 wt. % in combination with one or more filler or modifier materials present in an amount of about 40 wt. % to 65 wt. %. The alkali activation constituent destabilizes the premixed cementitious formulation by increasing the pH thereof to generate a reaction between the premixed cementitious formulation and the alkali activation constituent resulting in the cement-based tiling composition for use as an adhesive or a grout. The alkali composition may be sodium hydroxide supersaturated with lithium carbonate.

The present invention relates to a construction chemical formulation which cures rapidly and with low stress and which comprises calcium sulfate, an ettringite former, an activator, an aggregate and a polymeric binder, and also to the use of the construction chemical formulation for producing sealants, coatings, adhesives, screeds, or leveling compositions.

This invention relates to a method for producing a supplementary cementitious material comprising the steps: providing a starting material containing dolomite and aluminium silicate, converting the starting material to the supplementary cementitious material by burning under reducing conditions in the temperature range of >700 to 1100 C. or by burning in the temperature range of 625 to 950 C. in the presence of a mineraliser, and cooling the supplementary cementitious material. The invention further relates to a binder comprising cement and to the ground supplementary cementitious material.

A ready-mixed setting type joint compound in which formation of gypsum seeds has been inhibited. A method for controlling a setting reaction by mixing a ready-mixed setting type joint compound with one or more metal ion control agents comprising aminopolycarboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof, and further mixing the setting type joint compound with one or more non-calcium phosphate compounds. The method may further comprise mixing the setting type joint compound with a set activator obtained by blending together a first set activator including a cadmium compound, lead compound and/or zinc compound and a second set activator including a ferrous compound, aluminum compound and/or manganese compound.
