Title:
SYNTHESIZED HYBRID ROCK COMPOSITION, METHOD, AND ARTICLE FORMED BY THE METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2007024505
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The invention relates to synthetic hybrid rock compositions, articles of manufacture and related processes employing mineral waste starting materials such as mine tailings, mine development rock, ash, slag, quarry fines, and slimes, to produce valuable articles of manufacture and products, which are characterized by superior physical and structural characteristics, including low porosity, low absorption, increased strength and durability, and retained plasticity. The resulting materials are compositionally and chemically distinct from conventional synthetic rock materials as demonstrated by scanning electron microprobe analysis, and are useful in a wide variety of applications, particularly with respect to commercial and residential construction.
