Pressure-Assisted Molding And Carbonation Of Cementitious Materials
US Patent:
6387174, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Apr 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/829892
Inventors:
F. Carl Knopf - Baton Rouge LA
Kerry M. Dooley - Baton Rouge LA
Kerry M. Dooley - Baton Rouge LA
Assignee:
Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College - Baton Rouge LA
International Classification:
C04B 1428
US Classification:
106738, 106644, 106682
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for rapidly carbonating large cement structures, by forming and hardening cement in a mold under high carbon dioxide density, such as supercritical or near-supercritical conditions. The method is more reliable, efficient, and effective than are post-molding treatments with high-pressure CO. Cements molded in the presence of high-pressure CO are significantly denser than otherwise comparable cements having no CO treatment, and are also significantly denser than otherwise comparable cements treated with CO after hardening. Bulk carbonation of cementitious materials produces several beneficial effects, including reducing permeability of the cement, increasing its compressive strength, and reducing its pH. These effects are produced rapidly, and extend throughout the bulk of the cementâthey are not limited to a surface layer, as are prior methods of post-hardening CO treatment. The method may be used with any cement or concrete composition, including those made with waste products such as fly ash or cement slag.

US Patent:
6264736, Jul 24, 2001

Appl. No.:
9/170480

International Classification:
C04B 2206
US Classification:
106682
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for rapidly carbonating large cement structures, by forming and hardening cement in a mold under high carbon dioxide density, such as supercritical or near-supercritical conditions. The method is more reliable, efficient, and effective than are post-molding treatments with high-pressure CO. sub. 2. Cements molded in the presence of high-pressure CO. sub. 2 are significantly denser than otherwise comparable cements having no CO. sub. 2 treatment, and are also significantly denser than otherwise comparable cements treated with CO. sub. 2 after hardening. Bulk carbonation of cementitious materials produces several beneficial effects, including reducing permeability of the cement, increasing its compressive strength, and reducing its pH. These effects are produced rapidly, and extend throughout the bulk of the cement--they are not limited to a surface layer, as are prior methods of post-hardening CO. sub. 2 treatment.
Gallium-Containing Zeolite Catalysts
US Patent:
5149679, Sep 22, 1992
Filed:
May 1, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/517334
Inventors:
Geoffrey L. Price - Baton Rouge LA

Mechanical College - Baton Rouge LA
International Classification:
B01J 2906, B01J 2308
US Classification:
502 61
Abstract:
A catalyst useful in the aromatization of light paraffins and other hydrocarbons conversion reactions, formed by preparing an intimate mechanical mixture of a gallium-containing species, such as Ga. sub. 2 O. sub. 3, with a zeolite having a pore mouth comprising 10 oxygen atoms, such as ZSM-5, preferably followed by treatment with a reducing agent, such as hydrogen.
