Abstract: A lime pellet for use in asphalt applications is prepared to include lime fines and an asphalt-compatible binder. The pellet is characterized as having a rigid structure with a dimension greater than about 1.5 mm and being compatible with a hot mix asphalt so as to dissolve in liquid asphalt. The pellet is manufactured by mixing the lime fines with the asphalt-compatible binder and forming pellets therefrom. A benefit of the present method is the elimination of steps that cost time and money because limestone can be converted to quicklime, the quicklime is hydrated, and the pellet is formed in a continuous process or in a single system. The pellets are useful for conditioning an end product of hot mix asphalt during the manufacture of such an asphalt.

Abstract: Wallboards, as well as other building materials, are produced by methods which use significantly reduced embodied energy, generating far less greenhouse gases when compared with the energy used to fabricate gypsum wallboard. A novel cementitious core, consisting in one embodiment of post-industrial waste such as slag and combined with pH modifiers, provides a controlled exothermic reaction to create a gypsum-wallboard-like core which can be wrapped in a selected material such as recycled paper and manufactured on a conveyor system to appear, weigh and handle similar to gypsum wallboard, but without the large amounts of energy required to make gypsum wallboard. The manufacturing process results in lower greenhouse gas emissions than the processes used to make gypsum wallboard.
Abstract: A wellbore may be cemented by preparing a cementitious composition comprising water, a metal oxide or hydroxide compound, a phosphate compound, a borate compound, and a sugar, followed by displacing the cementitious composition into the wellbore. The metal oxide or hydroxide compound reacts with the phosphate compound in the wellbore to set into a hard mass. The synergistic effect of the borate compound and the sugar may increase a thickening time of the cementitious composition to in a range of from about 2 hours to about 11 hours at ambient temperatures in the wellbore. As such, the thickening time is sufficient to allow the cementitious composition to be placed in its desired location in the wellbore before setting.
Abstract: A protective coating on a metal surface comprises a particulate material produced by a method including heating an animal skeletal material to a temperature of at least 1000° C. for a time sufficient to convert at least part of the calcium carbonate in the skeletal material to calcium oxide and produce a calcined product; and then contacting at least part of the calcined product with water to produce the particulate material containing calcium hydrate.
Abstract: Disclosed are formulations adapted to form a foamed cementitious composition, the foamed cementitious composition itself, a method of forming a hydraulic binder foam, and a method of conveying and applying the resulting foam to a substrate. A pumpable cementitious slurry is formed, the slurry is mixed with a gas such as air, and is subjected to mechanically created turbulence to generate gas bubbles and create a foam, which preferably is stabilized by a foam stabilizing agent such as polyvinyl alcohol present in the slurry. The foam is then conveyed to a nozzle or other suitable dispense point from which it is applied, for example sprayed, preferably uniformly, onto a substrate to be coated. Prior to dispensing, a set accelerator is preferably injected, which causes the foam to gel, which in turn improves the hangability of the product on a substrate. The spray material adheres to the substrate and hardens to form an insulative coating on the substrate.
