Methods and systems for fabricating synthetic source rocks with organic materials, for example, using high energy resonant acoustic mixing technology, are provided. An example method includes preparing one or more organic components including kerogen, mixing, by utilizing resonant acoustic waves, the one or more organic components with one or more inorganic components to obtain a mixture, and processing the mixture to fabricate a synthetic source rock. Another example method includes mixing one or more organic components and one or more inorganic components with a kerogen precursor as an organic binder to obtain a mixture including artificial kerogen and processing the mixture to fabricate a synthetic source rock. One or more mechanical or chemo-mechanical properties of the synthetic source rock can be characterized as one or more functions of the one or more organic components and the one or more inorganic components.

An oil well cement slurry high-temperature suspension stabilizer prepared from oil-based shale drilling cuttings is provided. The high-temperature suspension stabilizer is reasonable in principle, inexpensive and easily available in raw materials, high in product uniformity and good in chemical stability. Meanwhile, waste is changed into wealth. Therefore, the high-temperature suspension stabilizer is environment-friendly and has a broad industrial application prospect.

The present disclosure discloses an oil shale semicoke adsorption inhibitor and use thereof in concrete preparation. The adsorption inhibitor is prepared by the following steps: sequentially adding 50-52.5 weight parts of an anti-corrosion rheological agent, 5-20 weight parts of methanol, 0.5-2 weight parts of sulfonated melamine, 2-5 weight parts of EDTA, 20-30 weight parts of an organosilicon compound, and 5-10 weight parts of stearate into a mixing container, and performing stirring well. The anti-corrosion rheological agent is a microbead. The adsorption inhibitor solves problems of strong water absorption, high adsorption of a water reducing agent, etc. of oil shale semicoke, reduces the use amount of the water reducing agent in concrete production, and can also reduce power consumption during grinding, thereby realizing high-value resource utilization of the oil shale semicoke.

Mineral fines reduce OPC content in concrete, mortar and other cementitious compositions, typically in combination with a pozzolanically active SCM. Mineral fines can replace and/or augment a portion of hydraulic cement and/or fine aggregate. Mineral fines can replace a portion of cement binder and fine aggregate as an intermediate that fills a size void between largest cement particles and smallest fine aggregate particles. Supplemental lime can enhance balance of calcium ions in the mix water and/or pore solution. Supplemental sulfate can address sulfate deficiencies caused by high clinker reduction, use of water reducers and/or superplasticizers, and SCMs containing aluminates. Concentrated or pure carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) can be used to passivate alkaline values in highly alkaline materials, such as concrete washout fines, CKD, class C flyash, incinerator ash, bottom ash, or biomass ash. CO.sub.2 passivation or sequestration can be carried out before, during or after forming an initial concrete mix.

A multifunctional comprehensive mineral supplement containing one or more molecular clusters, wherein each of the one or more molecular clusters has a metal-containing core and one or more ligands attached to the metal-containing core, wherein at least a portion of the metal-containing core and/or the one or more ligands is derived from a mineral component, wherein the mineral component is obtained from at least one mineral source, and wherein the at least one mineral source includes at least one selected from the group consisting of bauxite residue, ultrabasic rock, and a combination thereof.

Concrete compositions containing cement, a fine aggregate such as sand, a coarse aggregate such as crushed limestone, an industrial waste material such as electric arc furnace dust, cement kiln dust, oil ash, or limestone powder. High performance concretes made therefrom and methods of producing such concretes are also specified. The addition of industrial waste materials and nano silica provides enhanced mechanical strength (e.g. compressive strength, flexural strength) and improved durability (e.g. resistance to penetration of chloride ions) to the high performance concretes.
