Radiological restrictions of using red mud as building material additive

Red mud remains as residue from the processing of bauxite using different methods. The chemical composition of red mud varies widely with respect to the types of bauxite ore and processing parameters. Red mud samples from Guizhou, China, were investigated using a X-ray fluorescence spectroscope, a quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and a electron probe micro-analyzer. The results showed that red mud consisted of eight main chemical components--CaO, Al(2)O(3), SiO(2), Fe(2)O(3), TiO(2), Na(2)O, K(2)O and MgO--and dozens of trace elements, including natural radioactive elements, such as uranium and thorium. Gamma spectrometric analysis showed that the values of internal exposure index I (Ra) and external exposure index I (γ) of Guizhou red mud were 1.1-2.4 and 2.3-3.5 respectively. Thus, it should not be used as a main building material indiscriminately. The amount of red mud from Guizhou when it is used for main building materials in China should be less than 28-44%.

A Short History of the Use of Lime as a Building Material Beyond Europe and North America

The use of lime in building construction began at least 10,000 years ago, with debated evidence of earlier uses. The focus of academic research to date has been on historical and archaeological use of lime in Europe and the Near East. This work is an attempt to provide a summary of the history of lime as a building material in China, India, Africa, and Central and South America, based on available literature resources. Patterns of functional evolution suggest beginnings in small-scale, domestic surface coating evolving later to more widespread use linked to societal development in the regions considered. Commonalities exist in material characteristics and usage between different societies, linked to technological progress rather than absolute chronology.

Green Building Materials Evaluation and Empirical Research Based on the Regional Endowment

This article points out the importance of the using of green building materials in China. The selection of green building materials has deep relationship of the regional endowments differences. It requires a combination consider of regional to build the index system. This paper introduces the data envelope method to solve the evaluation of green building materials. The proposed evaluation process also been given.

A New Cost Effective Building Material: Compacted Wheat Straw Block

In this paper it is shown that compacted wheat straw block is a cost effective building material in China. Wheat straw is renewable resource and ecological material, when used as building material; it is less energy and material consumption. The compacted wheat straw block has a small thermal diffusivity and good fire resistance. The hydraulic properties will guarantee a comfortable humidity of in door air, and protect the material from rot, and ensure the durability of the construction. The mechanical properties will also increase the structure safety. It is absolutely a cost effective building material.

Discuss on Green Building Materials and Related Issues

Green building materials as an important factor plays important role in the promote sustainable development. However, at present a unified understanding on the green building materials in China have not been formed,the evaluation system of green building materials is not perfect.In this paper,the concept and features of green building materials are discussed deeply,and life cycle model is used to evaluate the green building materials.The status and future trend of green building materials are discussed too.

Research on Sustainable Management of Building Materials in China

With the development of economy and growth of population, China’s building materials has seen tremendous growth in recent years, more attention is paid to help manage the sustainability challenges of building materials. This paper tries to build a conceptual framework to integrate The Natural Step Framework, Life Cycle Assessment and Ecological Footprint and attempt to analyse how it works in the management of a sustainable transition.

Discussions about the Situation and Prospects of New Building Materials Industry

After the reform in China, our new building materials industry has developed rapidly. After 30 years of development, China's new building materials industry occurred and is developing from small to large. It has formed a new industry, become an important product of industrial materials and promoted China's economic growth. On the contrary, the rapid development of economic construction and the rising living standards provide the development of new building materials with a broad market and good opportunities. Driven by market demand, new building materials in China has formed a circulation network; Most of the foreign products can be produced in China, for example, China's production of different varieties of the color and different grades of decorative materials to improve the living conditions of urban and rural residents and make great contribution of changing the appearance of the city. China has formed a professional team for new building materials’ research, production and circulation. In this paper, we analyzed the current situation of the development of new building materials and put forward some countermeasures and suggestions to promote the development of new building materials.

Applications of natural zeolite to construction and building materials in China

As a main rock mineral, natural zeolite consists of a family of frame-structured alumino-silicate hydrates. This paper presents several research results in China on carrier effect of zeolite, including both an ion-exchange function and an adsorption function, that can be used in the manufacturing of new construction’s products as well as building materials. These products have been successfully applied to overcome some construction difficulties in engineering practice. In the last a few years, two industrial codes (“Technical specifications of application of natural zeolite powder in concrete and mortar (JGJ/T 112-97)” and “Natural zeolite powder used in concrete and mortar (JG/T 3048-1998)”) have been drafted and approved by China Standard Association for construction practice in China. Presently, the annual amount of natural zeolite consumed in the China’s constructions industry is over 30 million tons.
