Disclosed is a CO.sub.2 solidified fiber cement board and its preparation method. The matrix composition of the fiber cement board prepared in this disclosure is calcium carbonate, which has high compactness, and the crystal form of calcium carbonate is adjusted by adding shell powder to improve the toughness of the matrix, so that the fiber cement board has excellent mechanics and durability performance. In addition, the preparation process does not require high temperature maintenance, and has the characteristics of normal temperature preparation, which creates conditions for the introduction of organic synthetic fibers, so that the organic synthetic fibers can further improve the brittleness of cement fiberboard. While reducing energy consumption, the preparation process can also effectively solve the problem that excessive pressure is easily generated in the fiberboard under high temperature conditions in the existing high-temperature and high-pressure curing process.

The present invention relates to a composition for manufacturing artificial marble including a first preliminary composition and a second preliminary composition which include an acrylic-based monomer, an acrylic-based resin, a polymerization initiator, a crosslinking agent, a coloring agent, and a gelling agent and have a viscosity of 100,000 Ps to 5,000,000 Ps and/or a storage modulus of 100,000 Pa to 1,000,000 Pa. A viscosity of the second preliminary composition is higher than a viscosity of the first preliminary composition. Coloring agents of the first preliminary composition and the second preliminary composition have different colors. A weight ratio of the first preliminary composition to the second preliminary composition is in a range of 1:1 to 500:1. According to the present invention, artificial marble having a dashed pattern similar to that of natural marble is provided by increasing viscoelasticity to prepare semi-solid preliminary compositions for manufacturing artificial marble, having excellent workability and machinability, preparing a composition for manufacturing artificial marble by mixing two or more of the semi-solid preliminary compositions, and performing various molding and machining processes on the composition.

A geopolymeric ink formulation for direct 3D printing containing a geopolymeric formulation whose components are present in such proportions as to be subjected to a geopolymerization reaction and to provide, at the end of the reaction, a solid geopolymer and wherein the formulation, before and during at least a part of the geopolymerization reaction, wherein three-dimensional chemical bonds have not yet been formed, forms a reversible-gel, non-Newtonian, viscoelastic fluid. The formulation is extruded through a 3D printing tool equipped with nozzle into strands according to a geometry such as to create a three-dimensional structure on one or more layers. The extrusion preferably takes place within a hydrophobic liquid, such as oil.

A reclamation fill stabilizing composition for accelerated soil stabilization of high water-content waste soils/marine mud. The fill stabilizing composition includes a hydrolysis polymerization agent for chemically reacting with water in waste soil/marine mud. A gelling geopolymerization agent chemically and physically locks the water in its formed 3-D aluminosilicate microstructure. A sol-gel immobilization agent chemically and physically traps the water by reacting and bonding with the water. A nano-modification agent provides additional crystal nuclei to increase the effects of hydrolysis polymerization, gelling geopolymerization, and sol-gel immobilization. The reclamation fill stabilizing composition is mixed with high water-content waste soil such as marine mud. The marine mud is rapidly transformed into a compactable fill material within a stabilization curing period as short as 3 hours. Following stabilization, the treated marine mud is compacted (e.g., with a vibratory roller) into a layer of about 240 \~300mm with adequate stiffness (CBR value of at least 15%).
