Abstract: The present invention provides: a cement/asphalt mixture comprising an aggregate, an asphalt emulsion, cement, a hydraulic inorganic material and water, characterized in that the surfaces of aggregate fragments are covered with the asphalt particles prepared by the coalescence of asphalt emulsion and that the hydraulic inorganic material and water are present in the interstices between the aggregate fragments; a process for preparing a cement/asphalt mixture, the process being characterized by the steps of adding 2 to 12 parts (in terms of solids content) of a cationic or anionic asphalt emulsion to 100 parts of an aggregate; mixing them; and mixing the resulting mixture with 1 to 20 parts of a hydraulic inorganic material; and a process for preparing a cement/asphalt mixture, the process being characterized by the steps of adding 2 to 12 parts (in terms of solids content) of a cationic or anionic asphalt emulsion to a mixture of 100 parts of an aggregate and 0.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of constructing a continuous cut-off wall and a core of a fill-type dam in the ground by placing or grouting at a normal temperature a mixture of a cold-setting property comprising a cement, coarse and fine aggregates and a bituminous emulsion in a certain range of composition (hereinafter referred to as a cement bitumen concrete or a CA concrete), or a mixture of a cold-setting property comprising a cement, fine aggregate and a bituminous emulsion in a certain range of composition (hereinafter referred to as a cement bitumen mortar or a CA mortar) and further constructing an extended core of a fill-type dam above the continuous cut-off wall.

CaZ (X is a halogen atom), 3CaO.SiO.sub.2 and CaSO.sub.4 are present as indespensable components;B. at least one short range strength accelerator selected from the group consisting of a calcium aluminate material, a lime material, an amine and an ethylene glycol material and calcium sulfate hemihydrate;C. at least one emulsion selected from the group consisting of a bituminous emulsion, a rubber latex and a resin emulsion;D. from 12 to 50 weight percent of water in the total mixture.

Abstract: When a bituminous emulsion is added to a water-containing sludge, the sludge is instantaneously separated into an aqueous layer and a solid layer. But, heavy metals other poisonous pollutants cannot be removed from the separated aqueous layer. In contrast, when a sulfur compound or colloidal sulfur is added to such sludge in combination with a bituminous emulsion, heavy metals and other poisonous pollutants are converted to water-insoluble or hardly soluble sulfur compounds and they are readily removed from the separated water layer. When an inorganic coagulant or organic polymeric coagulant is added in combination, the coagulating and solidifying effects can be further increased. Moreover, the heavy metals and other pollutants fixed in the solid layer are hardly dissolved out and therefore, the separated solid cakes can be used for reclaiming or as water shielding walls.
