A full-fiber burner brick and a preparation method thereof, comprising mixing alumina crystal fiber and amorphous ceramic fiber with both of them being a combination of fibers of different lengths gradations, and moreover adding fine powder fillers of different particle size gradations and supplementing other additives. This enables the internal structure of the product more uniform, increases the bulk density of the product, and also benefits the suction filterability of fiber cotton blank, and is conducive to forming and improving the strength of the blank. The surface of the brick body is further provided with a coating, which can effectively protect the cotton fiber of the brick body fiber from harsh environments, improve its high temperature resistance, and help to extend the service life of the burner brick.

This disclosure is directed to an improved ballistic construct including ballistic concrete cured in a ballistic fiberglass mold, where the ballistic fiberglass mold remains part of the construct after curing. The fiberglass ballistic construct is stronger than concrete alone and does not significantly increase the weight of the construct. The improved construct is useful for firearms training and in the erecting of bulletproof structures which need ballistics protection.

A method for recycling a used rotor blade of a wind turbine includes processing the used rotor blade into a plurality of material fragments. The method also includes treating the plurality of material fragments to remove at least a portion of the at least one composite material and expose the at least one fiber material of the used rotor blade. Further, the method includes mixing the treated plurality of material fragments with, at least, an alkali activator to form a usable geopolymer concrete.

A high temperature sag resistant lightweight wallboard. The addition of a small amount of urea (about 0.1%) significantly improves the high-temperature sag resistance on Type X gypsum wallboards. These gypsum wallboards may have a board weight of less than 2100 lbs/msf when cast to have an overall 5.8 inch thickness, and may include glass fibers and/or mineral wool. Also, methods of making the gypsum wallboard and a wall system for employing the gypsum wallboard.
