Furane cement

A number of cement materials are used with brick. Standard are phenolic and furan resins, polyesters, sulfur, silicate, and epoxy-based materials. Carbon-filled polyesters and furanes are good against nonoxidizing acids, salts, and solvents. Silica-filled resins should not be used against hydrofluoric or fluosihcic acids. Sulfur-based cements are limited to 93°C (200°F), while resins can be used to about 180°C (350°F). The sodium silicate-based cements are good against acids to 400°C (750°F). 

The furan or furane resins mainly find use because of their excellent chemical and heat resistance. In the past they have mainly been used in applications peripheral to the plastics industry such as foundry resins, for chemically resistant cements and for binders. Recent developments have facilitated their use in laminates for chemical plant. 

The principal applications for furan resins are in chemical plant. Specific uses include the lining of tanks and vats and piping and for alkali-resistant tile cements. The property of moisture resistance is used when paper honeycomb structures are treated with furan resins and subsequently retain a good compression strength even after exposure to damp conditions.

To control the emission of organics, these units must comply with similar DRE requirements to the other hazardous waste combustion units. Owners or operators of MACT combustion units must select POHCs and demonstrate a DRE of 99.99% for each POHC in the hazardous wastestream. Sources that bum hazardous waste have a required DRE of 99.9999% for each POHC designated. Additionally, for dioxins and furans, U.S. EPA promulgated more stringent standards under MACT. For example, MACT incinerators and cement kilns that bum waste with dioxins and furans must not exceed an emission limitation of either 0.2 ng of toxicity equivalence per dry standard cubic meter (TEQ/m3) or 0.4 ng TEQ/m3 at the inlet to the dry particulate matter control device. This unit of measure is based on a method for assessing risks associated with exposures to dioxins and furans. 

On April 19, 1996, U.S. EPA published a proposed rule, called the MACT rule, under the joint authority of the RCRA and the CAA, to upgrade the emission standards for HWCs. Specifically, this rule will affect incinerators, cement kilns, and lightweight aggregate kilns. It proposes emission standards for dioxins, furans, mercury, cadmium, lead, PM, hydrochloric acid, chlorine,... 

The combustors affected by this rule detoxify or recover energy from hazardous waste and include incinerators, cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, boilers and process heaters, and hydrochloric acid production furnaces. U.S. EPA estimates that 145 facilities operate 265 devices that burn hazardous waste. These technology-based standards reduce emissions of hazardous pollutants, including lead, mercury, arsenic, dioxin and furans, and HC1 and chlorine gas. In addition, emissions of PM are also reduced.

Dioxins, furans and heavy metals can be released as air borne pollutants in the ash, which needs to be landfilled with special care (i.e. mixed with cement) due to a danger of ground water contamination.

The results reported by Carrasco et al. (1998) revealed that nearly all studied metal emissions, measured at the exit of a cement kiln stack, were significantly higher when a blend of 80 wt% coal + 20 wt% TDF was combusted instead of pure coal. Especially notable are increased emissions in Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Pb (Table 9). The exception to this trend is Hg, which exhibited a 30% reduction in its emission rate when the coal + TDF mixture was burned. The data further document reductions in NO and organic compound emissions, including PAHs, where the most drastic decrease was observed for dioxins and furans. On the other hand, emissions of CO, S02, and HC1 increased considerably with the addition of TDF (Table 9). The total particulate emissions from combustion of the blend were only slightly greater than those from pure coal. Carrasco et al. (1998) used their data to model atmospheric dispersion of the emitted contaminants in the vicinity of the...

In chemical plants where corrosive, wet conditions are anticipated, walls are protected with membranes and brick veneers in the same manner as floors. Alternatively, a divider wall between two rooms, or one that is to support a roof or other load, may be built entirely of "acid brick" and mortar. A different, more attractive system, is usually followed in food plants such as dairies, often employing glazed tile or block. The latter are laid just as are regular cement block, except that the face joints are left void to a depth of % in. or more, or raked back to that depth before the joints set up. After cure, the surfaces of the joint are cleaned usually with dilute hydrochloric acid, and the joints pointed full with a furan mortar. See Drawing 14 to see how this kind of a wall is mated to an "acid brick" floor and membrane. 

Mortars used in the past have primarily been composed of Portland cement, silicates, and litharge and glycerine. Except for Portland cement, these traditional materials have generally been replaced by resin mortars utilizing epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester and furan resins. 

A red shale brick or quarry tile floor is usually installed over a hot or cold applied mastic membrane. The mastic is applied to the concrete floor then the brick or tile are set with a resin cement. The resin cement can be a furan, a polyester or an epoxy depending on the anticipated exposure conditions. If high temperatures and constant exposure to aggressive chemicals are anticipated, the brick or tile will be bedded in the mortar as well as having mortar joints. 

Use Wetting agent, furan polymers, corrosion-resistant sealants and cements, foundry cores, modified urea-formaldehyde polymers, penetrant, solvent for dyes and resins, flavoring. The polymer is used as a mortar for bonding acid-proof brick and chemical masonry.
