1. Read and translate the text:
Gas concrete
Manufacture of gas concrete. Lime and silica are ground together to very fine limits. The siliceous material can vary considerably in the composition. much use of such waste naterials as fly ash from power stations, shale ash, blast furnace slag, as well as natural pozzolanas, pumice, etc. It is usual to use dry, closed circuit grinding for this part of the operation. The mixture of about 30 per cent lime and 70 per cent siliceous matter is now well mixed with water to form a slurry. Finelly powdered aluminium powder is added and a chemical reaction takes place.
The effect of the reaction is that a porous material is produced in which tiny non-interconnecting bubbles of hydrogen are surrounded by calcium hydrosilicate; hydrogen peroxide in some cases used as a foaming agent.
The degree of foaming in the gas concrete, and thus its specific gravity, is determined by the amount of aluminium powder or other agent added.
The practical limits of the final density are between 13 and 90 lb. per cu ft. If the gas concrete is allowed to harden on its own, it usually takes about three weeks before the final final strength is achieved. It is more customary to accelerate the setting of the gas concrete by steam hardening it in autoclaves with superheated steam at about 140 lb. per sq. in. The bulk of the gas concrete of commerce is now made by filling special steel forms with the material, allowing the foaming to take place, and then transporting the material into the autoclaves.The steam hardening process takes about 15 – 20 hr. When the material emerges from the autoclaves it can then be sawn into the sizes required.
