Abstract.A large group of industrial wastes from water purification, treatment and softening has been considered. The reference is made to the fact that slurries are a unique man-made product technologically ready for use and constantly restocking. Slurries have been classified by conditions of the formation, composition, chemical and physical properties. The nanoscale structural parameters of the slurry particles (the size distribution and fractal dimension) have been determined by the neutron small-angle scattering method. The conducted researches allow slurries to be considered a nanotechnogenic raw material. The use of slurries as additives in the building material production process reduces the harmful influence of industrial wastes on the environment and creates a significant reserve of material and energy resources in the construction industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
