Metal oxide activated cement
View Patent ↗A cement including: an alkali silicate; an organic silicate; a compound selected from a group consisting of Pozzolanic compounds and synthetic Pozzolanic substitutes; a metal oxide; an activator.
1. A process for making a cement, containing a naturally occurring silicate bound in an organic binder and a metal oxide, comprising steps of:
dissolving the binder using a chemical activator;
reducing particle size of the binder to enable the silicate to react with other components of the cement;
enabling the silicate to serve as a center for crystal growth;
wherein an effective amount of the chemical activator is added to dissolve the binder sufficiently, in order to ensure that that the cement is a structural load bearing cement.
2. The process recited in claim 1 , wherein the chemical activator is selected from a group consisting of: a ligand, a chelate, a mineral acid, an organic acid, an amino acid derivative, an alkali, an amphoteric compound, a biochemical, a salt, and an etching agent.
3. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the ligand is pyridine N oxide.
4. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the chelate is selected from a group consisting of: EDTA, PBTC, HEDTA, DTPA, oxyquinoline, and oxalic acid.
5. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the mineral acid is boric acid.
6. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the organic acid is selected from a group consisting of: DL-malic acid, a carboxylic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid, DHBA, gallic acid, and acetylacetone.
7. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the amino acid is selected from a group consisting of: L-histidine, and L-phenylalanine.
8. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the biochemical is selected from a group consisting of: dopamine, and DOPAC.
9. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the salt is monosodium glutamate.
10. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the etching agent is selected from a group consisting of: ammonium difluoride, ammonium fluoride, potassium bifluoride, phosphoric acid, and phosphorous acid.
11. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the metal oxide is a primary metal oxide selected from a group consisting of: aluminum oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and iron oxide.
12. The process recited in claim 2 , wherein the metal oxide is a secondary metal oxide selected from a group consisting of: titanium dioxide (titanium white), zinc oxide (neutral white), iron oxide (mars black), hydrated iron oxide (yellow ochre), and anhydrous iron oxide (red ochre).
