Abstract: Granulated material, at least comprising a filler, being bound by an inorganic binder, which filler consists at least partially of a substance possessing latent hydraulic properties, in the form of a substance possessing pozzolanic properties, preferably fly ash, and process for obtaining said material by starting from a calcium oxide product, silica granulate and water in which a portion of the heat development is absorbed by said granulate and is recuperated.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing silicate-containing granulates having a density of more than 0.7 kg/dm3 and a size of 2 to 40 mm, by mixing sand, a calcium oxide-containing product and water, forming granules and curing same in a moist atmosphere without any substantial condensation of moisture upon the granules to be cured.The granules contain 10 to 14% of moisture and curing is effected at temperatures above 90.degree. C.The granules may contain a filler, such as fly ash.
