Definitions
- the invention provides a construction element.
- the invention also provides a fixed construction assembly.
- the invention further provides a method of erecting a fixed construction.
- the invention extends to precursor compositions for producing a construction element and to a method of producing a precursor for construction element.
- the invention also extends to a method of producing a construction element.
- dry mass means the mass of the concerned substance as measured on a dry basis for that substance.
- an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol that comprises 10% dry mass polyvinyl alcohol comprises 10g of dry polyvinyl alcohol per 100g of solution.
- a construction element comprising an artefact obtained by pressing, cold or at ambient temperature, a non-sticky free-flowing granular cementitious or gypsum-based precursor composition, causing the granules of the precursor composition to cohere and form the artefact.
- the artefact may be a planar board.
- the construction element may comprise a core element and two of the planar boards, the planar boards being adhered to the core element at locations opposite each other, thus providing a composite, layered construction element.
- the construction element typically comprises two outer boards, contiguous with a core element that space the boards from each other.
- the construction element may have at least one recess in its periphery, which recess is bordered by the two planar boards and by the core element, in which recess a spline can be received to spline the construction element to another construction element.
- the construction element may include a spline that projects from the periphery of the construction element and can be received by a complementally shaped recess of another construction element, to spline one construction element to the other construction element.
- Two splines and two recesses are, preferably, provided by a rectangular core element which is off-set from peripheral edges of identically sized boards adhered to it.
- a rectangular core element which is off-set from peripheral edges of identically sized boards adhered to it.
- recesses where the core element is inwardly off-set and splines where it the core element is outwardly off-set.
- the construction element is layered, rectangular, and has grooves in two cornering edges thereof and splines in two other cornering edges thereof, thereby allowing for the construction element to be interlocked, as a construction assembly, with another such element, by interlocking one spline of one element with the recess of another element.
- one construction element can so interlock with four other such construction elements.
- the precursor composition in which the precursor composition is cementitious, may comprise
- guar gum one or a combination of guar gum and a fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol; and a gelling agent that reacts with the guar gum and/or the polyvinyl alcohol, thus rendering the precursor composition into free-flowing non-sticky granular form.
- Preparing the precursor composition may include blending the Portland cement, the extender, at least some of the water, the guar gum and/or fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol and, optionally, the synthetic fibre, pulp fibre and/or lignocellulosic fibre referred to hereinafter. Thereafter, the gelling agent may be introduced.
- An alternative approach is to blend the gelling agent with the guar and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and optionally also with the fibres mentioned below, and thereafter adding the Portland cement and the extender.
- reaction of the gelling agent with the guar and/or the polyvinyl alcohol gels or cross-links the guar and/or the polyvinyl alcohol, thus gelling the precursor composition and resulting in the precursor composition being rendered into the granular form.
- pressing the precursor composition causes the granules thereof to coalesce, thereby forming a homogenous artefact. After pressing, the artefact may still be wet, and may therefore be subjected to drying in providing the construction element.
- the granules Before pressing the granules to cohere and form the artefact, the granules may be spread out on a surface in a desired configuration.
- reinforcing members such as steel bars, mesh, fibre, polymer-coated fibreglass crinette and the like, and/or functional components such as conduits, may also be arranged between the granules, to be included in the artefact.
- the guar gum may be an aqueous solution of guar gum, comprising guar gum in a concentration of from 0.5 to 3% dry mass, and wherein the fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol is an aqueous solution of fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol, comprising fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol in a concentration of from 2.5 to 7% dry mass.
- the precursor composition may comprise water in an amount of from 50% to 80% by mass based on the dry mass of the Portland cement.

- the precursor composition may comprise from 30 to 80%, more preferably 40 to 80% dry mass of the cement extender, based on the combined mass of the Portland cement and the cement extender.
- the cement extender may be selected from one or a combination of any two or more of sugar cane bagasse, fly ash, micronized silica, silica flour, and silica-based sand.
- the cement extender may comprise an aggregate, typically as 20 to 35% dry mass based on the combined mass of the cement extender and the aggregate.
- the aggregate may typically be of a particle size in the range of 2 to 8mm diameter.
- the aggregate may, for example, be stone.
- the gelling agent may be an aqueous solution of borax comprising 1 to 8%, more preferably 2 to 6% dry mass borax.
- the precursor composition may comprise from 5 to 15%, more preferably from 5 to 10% by mass of the gelling agent, as the aqueous solution of borax, based on the mass of the one or combination of the aqueous solution of guar gum and the aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol.
- the precursor composition in which the precursor composition is gypsum- based, may comprise
- gypsum preferably in the form of beta hemi-hydrate calcium sulphate
- guar gum one or a combination of guar gum and a fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol; and a gelling agent that reacts with the guar gum and/or the polyvinyl alcohol, thus rendering the precursor composition into free-flowing non-sticky granular form.
- the following statements relate to the gypsum-based precursor composition.
- Preparing the precursor composition may include blending the gypsum, at least some of the water, the guar gum and/or fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol and, optionally, the synthetic fibre, pulp fibre and/or lignocellulosic fibre referred above and hereinafter. Thereafter, the gelling agent may be introduced.
- pressing the gypsum-based precursor composition causes the granules thereof to coalesce and thereby form a homogenous artefact.
- the artefact may still be wet, and may therefore be subjected to drying in providing the construction element.
- the granules before pressing the granules to cohere and form the artefact, the granules may be spread out on a surface in a desired configuration.
- reinforcing members such as steel bars, mesh, fibre, polymer-coated fibreglass crinette and the like, and/or functional components such as conduits, may also be arranged between the granules, to be included in the artefact.
- the gypsum may be present in the precursor compound from 80 to 95% dry mass.
- the guar gum may be an aqueous solution of guar gum, comprising guar gum in a concentration of from 0.5 to 3%, more preferably 1 to 2% dry mass, and wherein the fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol is an aqueous solution of fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol, comprising fully hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol in a concentration of from 2.5 to 7% dry mass.
- the precursor composition may comprise water in an amount of from 70% to 1 10% by mass based on the dry mass of the calcium sulphate.

- the inorganic cement extenders are used in a proportion of 20% to 80% in a dry format. All of these dry components are first blended thoroughly. Density modifiers may be used, such as expanded perlite, or exfoliated vermiculite, hollow glass balloons, foamed silicas or glass, pumice and diatomaceous earth, in order to control the density of the final product, and promote workability, such as sawing, profiling or sanding.

In those products that do not need to be sawn or worked to profile, aggregates in the size range 2 to 8 mm may be included.
- a solution of guar in water is added to the dry components, such that the water to cement ratio is in the range 35% - 105% of the cementitious precursor composition the solution containing between 0.5% and 3% by dry mass of guar gum in water.
- Polyvinyl alcohol having a molecular weight in the range 100 000 - 170 000 and a degree of hydrolysis of 98 to 99 mol% and viscosity typically of a 4% solution at 20°C being in the range 18 - 30 CPs may be used instead of guar or other hydrated polysaccharide colloids or in combination.
- Resins may be added to contribute to water resistance, toughness, flexibility and propagating the interfacial bond between fibres and steel reinforcing and the matrix.
- these resins are the thermoplastic emulsions, such as styrenated acrylics, pure acrylics, styrene butadiene rubbers, synthetic latexes and similar. Resins incorporated at from 0% to 15%, more usually 0% to 5% of thermoplastic emulsions.
- the entire mix is thoroughly blended to form a uniform slurry.
- the gelling agent is preferably in the form of a solution of a metallic ion in water, the preferred being borax, which is a disodium tetra borate deca- or penta-hydrate, added at a concentration in water of between 1 % and 7%, more preferably in the range 2% to 5% and typically on a mass basis between 5% and 15% of the guar solution.
- borax which is a disodium tetra borate deca- or penta-hydrate
- the mix is thoroughly blended and with increasing shear, the entire mass breaks into granules or small particles of a non-sticky nature.
- An aggregate may be blended with the granules, such as in rail road ties.
- the composition is laid up for processing on platens or on moving belts at a specific mass per unit area, suitable to the density of the final product and its thickness.
- At the right positions in this mass may be laid up reinforcing, preferably steel bar the surface of which has been distressed or ribbed or coated to ensure grip, or alternatively steel wire or mesh.
- steel rods, flats, angles, or tubes are preferred and are cleaned of rust and preferably have been wetted with an adhesion promoter such as such with a thermoplastic emulsion binder, ensuring interfacial adhesion and optionally may be pre-stressed by applying tension to the bars whilst they are located in a press molding box.
- the mass proceeds through a hydraulic press which may be multi-daylight, single- daylight, or continuous, where the composite is pressed at room temperature at a pressure of between 7 - 50kg/cm 2 for between 5 - 25 seconds, preferably of the order of 7 - 15 seconds, whilst under pressure, whereupon the entire mass becomes a cohesive solid, or mass without dimensional instability or spring back, by which is meant volume increase on the release of pressure and no fissuring, parting, or cohesion loss.
- These sheets now proceed from the pressing station to a cure area, where cement hydration can commence and subsequent to which the flat sheets are converted into elongate members by sawing or cutting between the reinforcing steel bars, to make structural components of specific dimensions, density, reinforcement and mass.
- These sheets, with or without steel reinforcing, may also be bonded to a polymeric foam core, the sheets being from 10mm to 80mm thick, more usually from 20mm to 50mm thick, the foam core being more usually 20mm to 100mm thick, the foam core being more usually 20mm to 90mm thick, as blocks or as wall panels 90mm to 160mm thick or as composites or boards of from 6mm to 80mm thick as building boards.
- metal reinforced components or un-reinforced cross-sectional dimension used in housing would be typically the width of the wall thickness and of a thickness from 12mm - 50mm, laminated as posts. Beams and rafters, lintels, purlins and piles and would be of a section appropriate to the strength, and the handling and the assembly of the components. Dry densities would be of the order of 700 to 2 000kg/m 3 , more usually in the range 800 to 1 ,250 kg/m 3 , saving between 50% and 80% of the mass of an equivalent cast structure of cement with aggregate.
- the principal binder in the product is Portland cement.
- the term hydration is used to describe reactions in which water is chemically combined. This gives rise to the term hydraulic binder.
- Cement is basically manufactured from shale, limestone and iron ore stockpiles. The raw materials are ground and fed into a rotary kiln with lime. Cement contains between 63% and 68% lime, 19% and 24% silica, 4% and 7% alumina and 1 % to 4% iron. These materials are blended with coal or other energy producing materials to generate the temperature, which by the end of the process reaches a temperature of 1 ,450°C and hence the criticism of Portland cement being a CO2 generator. However it is a unique binder essential to the building industry.
- the water to cement ratio is very important and this depends on the extenders used. If the water to cement ratio for a given mix can be accurately controlled, the highest possible quality cement results with a minimum of capillarity and pore spaces and minimum need for drying.
- Those substances that are added to cement in the composition of the product are preferably those that can react with the lime in cement and which can be termed pozzolanic material, by which is meant that compounds of silica, alumina, iron and calcium may be formed and examples of these are granulated blast furnace slags, fly ash, burnt shale and silica fume and sugar cane bagasse ash of a silica percentage greater than 70%.
- fly ash is extracted by electrostatic precipitators from the flue gasses of power stations fired with pulverized coal which is the case in South Africa. Fly ash particle size can be as low as 10 ⁇ and usually round in shape and may contain 45 - 50% silica, 25 - 30% alumina, 4 - 8% calcium and 9 - 1 1 % iron.
- Condensed silica fume which is a byproduct of the silica smelting operations, has 92% silica and relatively small percentages of iron and aluminium. It promotes density. Granulated blast furnace slag in fact when activated either by water or especially by lime, gives rise to reactions very similar to those occurring in cement. It is therefore a very good additive to cement and when, at the right particle size, is a very beneficial contributor.
- Silica fume as a function of its minute particle size; i.e.
- guar gum which is extracted from the endosperm of guar beans.
- the guar plant is similar to soya in appearance and is drought resistant. It is a leguminous shrub, cyanopsis tetragonoloba.
- Guar gum consists of 36.0% galactose anhydride and 63.1 % mannose anhydride referred to as galactomannan, of molecular weights 220,000 and is a linear anisodimensional carbohydrate polymer. Guar is in fact a long chain polyalcohol with 1 - 2 diol gronpings capable of complexation. It is non ionic or cationic or anionic.
- Guar with polyvinyl alcohol in ranges 60 guar to 40 polyvinyl alcohol is preferred but for dust suppression a guar solution of 0.2% to 0.4% of a 5,000 viscosity, combined with 1 .25% polyvinyl alcohol solution is effective. Wide combinations of different concentrations in water are possible. Guar with polyvinyl alcohol, complexed by Boron B(OH)4 - forms rigid three dimensional polyvalent metal crosslinks.
- Guar may be complexed on its own in the same way to granulate cement or gypsum or calcium aluminate slurries for boards, damp milled grains, fertilizer constituents, lignocellulosic fibres, for boards, coal fines, mineral fines, carpets, textiles or inorganic fibres for pressed products and others variously described above.
- a dust suppressant at a solution concentration of a 5,000 viscosity specification at 0.15% to 0.35% complexation may occur in situ with reaction with elements in the dust or substrate.
- Guar of molecular weights of 100,000 to 3 million may be used at concentrations of 0.15% to 3% and be crosslinked at 0.001 % to 0.5%, more preferably between 0.01 % to 0.25%, examples being sodium or potassium permanganate or the compounds or elements mentioned previously.
- Guar's principal functions in the invention applications is as a binder, hydrocolloid and gel agent. Its use as a thickener and fracturing agent are well known in other applications. Typical crosslinks are depicted below.
- the polyvinyl alcohol optionally used in the methipd of the invention with a gipar solution as a mix together which is to convert a slurry into flowable granules, and which on compression instantly form a cohesive sheet or board product optionally with the necessary reinforcement integral is the fully hydrolysed grades such as Moliol 20/98 by Clariant, or Goshenol N types NH18, NH20, NH300 by Nippon Goshei with molecular weights in the range 125 000 to 160 000 g/mol and viscosities of 4% solution at 20°C in the range 16 - 30 MPa.s with a degree of hydrolysis or saponification mol% between 97 and 99.5 and an ester value of 20 ⁇ 5mgKOH/g but molecular weights from 100 000 can be suitable.
- a degree of hydrolysis or saponification mol% between 97 and 99.5 and an ester value of 20 ⁇ 5mgKOH/g but molecular weights from 100 000
- a most favourable grade is Poval 1 17 by Kururay. These grades must be dissolved in water by first dispersing them cold, and then raising the temperature of the dissolution water to 95°C causing the dissolution of the polyvinyl alcohol, which is now in a molecular separated suspension in water capable of imposing considerable water resistance on the other constituents of the product. Further waterproofness may be imposed by the use of dimethylol urea or acids such as orthophosphoric or certain salts such as ammonium chloride or sodium/ammonium bichromate, typically being added at 5% by mass on the polyvinyl alcohol in a dry format. A further attribute is that the higher the drying temperature if used of the end product, the greater the insolubility of the polyvinyl alcohol.
- the concentration in water of the polyvinyl alcohol my mass is in the range 2 - 20%, more preferably in the range 4 - 15% and still more preferably in the range 5 - 12% and the solution mixed with the dry components of the composition acts as the gauging water for the Portland cement.
- a gelling agent which increases the viscosity or causes the partial or complete gelling or precipitation of the hydraulic binder slurry is key to the method of this invention.
- the regularly arrange hydroxyl groups of the guar or other hydrated polysaccharide colloid chain can form chemically more or less stable complex compounds or associates with certain substances. In addition when the guar gels, it loses all tack and becomes non- sticky.
- the guar or polyvinyl alcohol or a blend envelopes the other components of the hydraulic binder slurry, including the Portland cement and extenders as an integral part of the gel, giving it considerable cohesive properties and allowing the formed sheet to be pressed in such a way that no breakage, friability, parting or fissures result and no spring back or volume increase after pressing.
- the pressing need only be for a few seconds, but certainly in the range 5 - 25 seconds, whereupon a cohesive sheet is formed which is stable, smooth and which can be platen stacked to allow the chemistry of the cement and its extenders to go to completion.
- the classic complex formed from guar is its reaction with boric acid or one of the borates.
- the gelation particularly suitable to the method is the precipitation of the guar by borax in solution which is Na2B 4 05(OH) 4 .8H20 referred to as disodium tetraborate decahydrate.
- the pentahydrate is also satisfactory.
- Borax partially hydrolyes boric acid and this acts as a buffered gelling agent.
- the borax is dissolved in water to give a solution concentration of between 1 - 8% by mass, more preferably in the range 2 - 5%.
- This solution when blended with the guar solution, in the cement slurry is used in the range 1 - 5% borax by mass on the mass of the polyvinyl alcohol, more preferably in the range 1 .5 - 3%.
- Other possible gelation agents are elements of the sub-groups 1 v-v1 on the periodic table and also manganese, or certain other metal ions.
- the preferred gelling agent on the grounds of performance is borax, which results in near precipitation of the guar or guar with polyvinyl alcohol joint solution, to form free flowing, non-sticky granules on mechanical shear which can then be spread to a specific mass per unit area to give the end product, with its reinforcement at whatever thickness and position is appropriate. Density is modified by the extenders and the choice imposed by application needs. However, the calcium in the cement also is a potent gel former with guar and the need or otherwise of an additional gel agent is process dependent.
- the gel agent may be added to the guar or polyvinyl alcohol, or a blend, before this is mixed with the furnish, depending mainly upon viscosity and intimate wetting.
- Thermoplastic polymer dispersion in water can be added to the guar or guar polyvinyl alcohol blend solution. These add desired properties including resistance to ultra-violet light and water, contribution to strength, impact resistance and toughness. Flexual strength is improved and the interfacial bind between the reinforcing and the matrix improved. Some of these polymers have considerable coalesced flexibility. These polymer dispersions are characterized by solid percentage in water of between 40 - 70% more generally of the range 50 - 65%. Examples are vinyl polymers and polymers of acrylates and methacrylates. Several monomers are used in the manufacture, particularly the acrylates and methacrylates, but styrene and vinyl acetates can also be used.
- Synthetic latex polymers have contributive properties such as styrene butadiene copolymer latexes, such as Synthomer 29Y40, an example of a SBR or a styrene butadiene rubber.
- low cost, fire proof, thermally efficient, logistically efficient, attractive houses can be built for rural populations, proximate to sugar mills, or power stations, or buildings for any size or purpose.
- Very rapid and precise assembly of wall components is provided for by offsetting of the foam core or providing a splined assembly, the whole being adhesively assembled.
- fillers high in oxides of silica, iron and alumina, of very low bulk density to add volume and therefore influence final density, but which may also bond with the highly alkaline sodium or potassium silicate as a form of geopolymer includes hollow glass or siliceous micro cells or balloons.
- Some of these are synthetic or expanded Perlite, others are by-products such as high silica fractions of micronized coal burnt in power stations which are recovered, including fly ash. Examples are Cenolite by Ash Resources of South Africa or Filite of Runcorn in Kent, UK.
- Sil-Cell is a refined mineral by Silbrico Corporation called Sil-Cell which is a glass micro cellular filler comprising of hollow glass particles whose shapes vary to combine different geometries, both spherical and irregular. These shapes present the advantage of not only low final product density but reinforcement and impact resistance. Due to the irregular shape of the particles greater tensile strength is derived and a mechanical key in packing occurs during the processing operation. Each particle consists of multiple minute cells of micro bubbles and the effective specific gravity is in the range 0.18 or 180kg/m 3 .
- the properties of the material are as follows:
- Microcel and grade M28 consists of 73% silicon dioxide, having been surface treated with a silane coupling agent and have a bulk density of 0.17, a particle size as low as 5 ⁇ , a softening temperature of 800°C, a compressive strength of 140 bar and a thermal conductivity of 0.055.
- a further candidate is Cenolite which is a lightweight vitreous hollow sealed sphere produced as a by-product from pulverised coal burnt in power stations. These have a silicone dioxide percentage of 51 and an aluminium oxide percentage of 40. The bulk density at 450g/£ is high for the purpose of the invention, but they have a melting point of 1250°C which is at the high end of the melt spectrum due to the high aluminium oxide percentage. Filite of Runcorn, Cheshire of the U.K. is a similar product. Particle sizes of these spheres tend on average to be larger than glass micro balloons, but range from as low as 3 ⁇ up to 300, with a mean in the range 50 to 200.
- a further hollow glass bubble by 3M is bubble type C15-250 with a nominal average particle density of 0.015mm and an average bulk density in the range 0.06 to 0.012 and a compressive strength of 17 bar.
- These are a sodium boro silicate glass with a softening point in excess of 700°C.
- Another example of a glass micro balloon are those by Dicapearl of California such as the 512 grade, suitable for the method of the invention.
- a further lightweight glass balloon is that by Dennert under the trademark Poraver.
- Poraver These beads are of a wide range of diameters and densities. Those suitable for the method of the invention are of a diameter of below 1 mm up to 8mm. They have the further advantage of being alkali resistant, are chemically inert and highly compression stable. For example, granules of Poraver in the size range 2mm to 4mm have a bulk density of 190g/£, have an average pressure value in kN of 14 and a pH value in the range 9 to 12. Particle sizes as small as 40 ⁇ are available. Poraver is pure glass which is generated from recycling.
- Perlite refers to a siliceous rock. This is a form of volcanic glass which when heated to approximately 800°C or more expansion occurs due to the release of water inside the semi-molten rock. If the expansion is done carefully a closed cell results at a density as low as 90kg/m 3 , the diameter of which depends on the particle size before expanded. If the rock is milled to a small enough particle size, then it is possible to produce the expanded version in particle sizes appropriate for the method of the invention i.e. 200 ⁇ or smaller. Properties of Perlite are as follows:
- Oxygen (by difference) 47.5 Moisture, % ⁇ 1 .0
- a still further inorganic volume extender is exfoliated vermiculite.
- Vermiculite is sourced from iron bearing phlogopite or biotite. At 900 to 1000°C vermiculite exfoliates when inter lamina water is expelled causing exfoliation and volume extension perpendicular to the lamina plates resulting in 6 to 15-fold expansion and decrease in bulk density from 1000kg/m 3 down to 60 to 180kg/m 3 .
- the micron grade is of 500 ⁇ to 1 .5mm in size, and may beneficially be blended with bentonite at up to 2% by mass. Assembly of Structures
- the crux of this invention is the cold pressing of cement and/or gypsum compositions into which may optionally be inserted reinforcement, preferably as elongate steel rods, in the correct linear and spatial positions during the furnish lay-up, followed by pressing into cohesive sheets, then sawing the resultant composite to length or into structural strips.

- the slab may comprise of pressed boards on either side of a polymeric foam on beams, in turn attached to piles made of the structural elements onto which the posts are now affixed, or alternatively the slab may be a conventional concrete poured slab, on which assembly now commences.
- the panels are adhesively secured together once each block has been engaged with the grouted spline or key horizontally and vertically to the adjacent blocks and to the posts.
- the entire surfaces of the house may be covered by a sealer comprising of a thermoplastic emulsion chosen from an acrylic or a styrene butadiene rubber latex solution, with Portland cement and optionally extenders and added water in such a way that the sealer coats the panel described above.
- This layer is built to a thickness of approximately 1 - 3 mm and which serves as a plaster as well as a waterproof membrane forbidding water penetration.
- the surfaces are smoothed ready for painting or textured by a roller and also serve to cover the block joint lines.
- the brick or panel surfaces are more than adequate in all respects, and require only an oxide colourant or ferrous salt or an alkali resistant plaster primer followed by water based paint.
- Services such as water and electric points may be post inserted by copper or steel tube insertion into the core foam to remove the foam from the tube, before the conduit and/or copper water pipes are inserted, services being reticulated above ceilings and plug, light switch or connection points being cut through the brick or panel liner or sheet as appropriate. Services may also be post assembly installed by routing the appropriate positions.
- Sugar cane is a plant belonging to the grass family, reaching a height of 5m, comprised of a composition of celluloses 45% - 50%, sucrose 20% - 25%, lignin 18% - 24%, ash 1 % - 4% and waxes 1 %.
- Sugar is grown in tropical and subtropical areas in 120 countries. In South Africa the industry is worth R12 billion/year. 120 million tons of sugar is produced in the world, 70% of which is from sugar cane and the balance from sugar beet.
- the sugar content of the juice is 20% and the cane stem produces 50kg of juice to every 100kg of cane. Growing is seasonal and production is only 20 - 32 weeks in the year, or two to five months.
- the trash or leaves are generally burnt in situ, whereas the biomass left after the pressing out of the cane juices, is called bagasse.
- This is used for making boards, paper and animal feeds and has many other uses.
- Cane does not only produce sugar but also ethanol and cellulose.
- Furfural is also produced for the synthesis of nylons and other plastics and bagasse can also be used to produce biodegradable plastics and products as diverse as biodegradable dinner plates.
- the biomass residue after pressing out the cane juices is burnt to generate energy for the sugar mill, and any residual energy is used to generate electricity for the grid.
- the ash that is produced is pumped into ponds or dams, and is typically comprised of silicon dioxide, 70% - 90%, aluminium 9%, ferric oxide 2.8%, potassium oxide 3.5% and calcium oxide 2.2%.
- reactive oxides most particularly silica, which makes it a candidate for geopolymers, using highly alkaline reactants, or as a cement extender.
- the sugar industry is characterised by being rural by definition, generally in tropical or sub-tropical areas and often close to the sea or to rivers in environments high in rainfall. There is therefore a need for converting the ash into a useful product that can create jobs and that can also provide shelter for rural populations.
- the sugar industry is highly contributive in curtailing urbanisation, which is a serious problem throughout the world and is resulting in huge informal settlements in Africa.
- Fly-ash is the very small particle bi-product of coal firing in power generation. It is produced in very large quantities, is generally free of carbon and is typically high in the oxides of silica, iron and alumina, which may be present in amounts exceeding 70%. Oxides of alkali metals must be tested for their presence which is undesirable because hydration can result in bulking and efflorescence.
- Good fly-ash is pozzolanic becoming part of cement hydration products contributing to good quality.
- a further bi-product of coal fired power generation is gypsum produced by flu gas desulphurisation. It may also be sourced from other industrial processes such as acid mine water desalination. Calcining converts the dehydrate to the hemi-hydrate, which is an excellent raw material for fire protection and interior building products. Paper lined boards, referred to as sheet rock in America, can be improved upon. In terms of process and performance, but purity is best over 92% calcium sulphate.
- Brick and mortar is just not delivering and the reasons are logistical. Very often cement is too distant from the point of need, clay deposits suitable for brick making may not be available and neither may be sand or other aggregates that are suitable. There is often a shortage of close to hand water. Transport is the key issue and the availability of skills.
- a still further exacerbation is the very high energy consumption of conventional building materials. These have typically a density of 2,200kg/m 3 and in the case of cement requires a process temperature of 1 ,450°C and in the case of clay bricks, over 1 ,200°C. Building components are increasingly made from cement and sand in which the cement composition may be between 10% and 15%. Some of the quality is very poor usually as a result of either the addition of too little cement, or the use of unsatisfactory sand or aggregates. Alternative methods of building are becoming increasingly important, not only for delivery but for energy conservation. These are usually based on two frame methods, either steel or timber.
