Treatment method for a rock formation against sand infiltration during production of fluid from this rock formation via a well drilled through said rock formation, comprising at least one step of injecting a geopolymer cement grout into said rock formation, in particular around the edges of said well and/or through said well.

Various examples are provided for in situ growth of subsurface structures using bioinspired mineralization. In one example, among others, a method for growth of a subsurface structure includes introducing a first aqueous mineral salt reactant and a second aqueous mineral salt reactant comprising a polymeric additive into a soil substrate. The first and second aqueous mineral salt reactants can combine to form a polymer-induced liquid-precursor (PILP) phase that initiates in situ mineralization in the soil substrate. Solidifying the mineralization can form a subsurface structure in the soil substrate. Multiple applications of aqueous mineral salt reactants can be introduced to adjust the thickness of the mineralization or for layers of coatings.

A method for treating polluted soils, includes mixing the soil with a hydraulic binder, wherein the hydraulic binder includes: as the only high-alumina clinker, a high-alumina clinker including more than 80 wt % of mayenite C12A7 phase or a mayenite isotope, the high-alumina clinker making up at least 70 wt % of the weight of the hydraulic binder; and 1 wt % to 30 wt %, relative to the total weight of the binder, of lime.

Embodiments of a dry mix for producing a concrete composition are provided. The dry mix includes aggregate, cement, and bed ash. The bed ash contains the combustion product of a fluidized bed coal combustion reaction. Additionally, embodiments of a method of preparing the dry mix and embodiments of a method of preparing a concrete composition are provided. The dry mix is also suitable for repairing soil slips, and embodiments of a method of repairing a soil slip are also provided.

Composition in the form of green or thermally treated briquettes comprising at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound comprising an iron-based compound and method of production thereof as well uses thereof.

Composition in the form of green or thermally treated briquettes comprising at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound and an iron-based compound, the method of production thereof and uses thereof.

Composition in the form of green or thermally treated briquettes comprising at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound comprising an iron-based compound and method of production thereof as well uses thereof.

This invention relates to manufacturing briquettes, pellets and shapes from recycled asphaltic limestone powder derived from waste residential roofing products. Briquettes and pellets are manufactured through a densification process at varying temperatures, creating recycled asphalt pellets, asphalt limestone pellets and bio mass and coal fines briquettes. Various shapes, including curbs and posts, are manufactured through heat and pressure in molds. Seawalls, walkways and wall panels are manufactured by blending asphaltic limestone powders with polymer resins and extruded or pultruded into shapes.

Composition in the form of green or thermally treated briquettes comprising at least one quick calcium-magnesium compound comprising an iron-based compound and method of production thereof as well uses thereof.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a road surfacing comprising on the surface the pipes of a heat exchanger device, characterised in that it comprises the following steps: a) spreading at a temperature below 160 C. asphalt mix, comprising a granular fraction, a hydrocarbon-based binder, said asphalt mix being workable, having a workability, measured with a Nynas workability meter at the working temperature of the asphalt mix, of less than 400N, then b) depositing the pipes, said pipes having a crushing strength greater than 3000 N per linear metre of pipe at 100 C., a thermal expansion less than 200.10.sup.6 K.sup.1 at 20 C. in such a way as to enable their indentation even in the absence of cooling means or pressure application means, then c) indenting the deposited pipes into said integration layer by compacting said asphalt mix during the workability period of said asphalt mix, to form an integration layer comprising the pipes of a heat exchanger device, then d) applying a surface layer there above for the road surface, in particular a surface course.

The present invention also relates to a method for recycling a road surface.
