block-making

Besides the use of rice-husk ash for producing blended cements and for block-making, a recent research work has proved that rice-husk ash can be used in manufacturing sodium silicate (waterglass) solution.

Apart from its potential use as low grade fuel, insulation material and filler, rice husks can be used (after having incinerated to produce reactive ash) as a pozzolana to replace, partially, cement and also to be used in block-making.

It can be also used in block-making for use in load and non-load bearing walls.

3. Innovative technologies related to the increased utilization of low-energy building materials 1995

The large - and medium-scale plants both use the stationary block-making machine where the blocks are produced on a flat pallet, and then transported for curing on a pallet, to another position.

Chapter 10 1989

The raw material inputs in block-making are basically the same irrespective of the level of technology used.

Chapter 10 1989

It involved a field study of block-making machines available on the market and extensive laboratory studies on the process of soil stabilisation.

Chapter 7 in each case the machines were broken and were not operational. 1987

Calcination takes 30-45 minutes, during which time the gypsum is turned over from time to time with a wooden rake: it is then left to cool and is bagged for sale or for block-making.

Chapter 9 1985

But if the sand is available, sandcrete block-making is a quick and efficient process.

Chapter 4 1977

No more block-making for photographs and illustrations; these were optically processed directly to printing plates.

In the Admiralty Museum, then occupying a portion of the building, was a complete set of the working models of the celebrated block-making machinery.
