Title:
METHODS FOR PRODUCING A CEMENT PASTE, A MORTAR, AND A CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL BY UTILISING AN AQUEOUS SERICIN SOLUTION, RESPECTIVE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND USES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/095062
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention refers to a method of producing a cement paste construction material (4) by mixing a cement (3), an aqueous sericin solution (1) in a first mixing zone (2). Subsequently, the cement paste construction material (4) is mixed with a fine-grain bulk material mixture (6) in a second mixing zone (5) to obtain a mortar construction material (7). Subsequently, the mortar construction material (7) is mixed with a coarse-grain bulk material mixture (9) in a third mixing zone (8) to obtain a concrete construction material (10). Admixtures (11) may be feed to each mixing stage. The present invention also contributes to saving water in the concrete production, substituting it by a silk degummed wastewater as a hydration agent. The compositions according to the invention present increased mechanical properties, namely compressive strength, prevent mold growth or proliferation of fungi or other microorganisms, and are durable and stable under thermal oscillations.
