Stone coating

As soon as catapult machines were adapted to siege warfare, larger and more effective incendiary missiles were developed. The first incendiary missiles consisted of large stones coated with flammable materials, such as pitch, tar, sulfur, etc... 

Road stone coating plants, while not as suitable as lime kilns and cement kilns for their ability to neutralize the HCl arising from burning, are capable of handling the ash that arises from their operation. They do need to be modified to avoid explosion risks if the fuel used has a low flash point.

Apparently a negative AP with Q < 90° can be found for particular pore geometries [53]. A different type of water repellency is desired to prevent the deterioration of blacktop roads consisting of crushed rock coated with bituminous materials. Here the problem is that water tends to spread into the stone-oil interface, detaching the aggregate from its binder [54]. No entirely satisfactory solution has been found, although various detergent-type additives have been found to help. Much more study of the problem is needed. 

Other treatments fall into the three groups (1) summari2ed in Table 5. There are chemical treatments and impregnations which penetrate below the surface of the gemstone. Then there are surface coatings of various types. Finally, there are composite stones. 

Calcined aluminas are also used for polishing appHcations by mixing into polishing compounds in the form of paste or suspensions. Polishing aluminas are used to alter the surfaces of metals, plastics, glass, and stones in the manufacture of cutlery, automobiles, computers, furniture, eyewear, semiconductors, and jewelry. Polishing aluminas are also used to coat surfaces, such as video tapes (1). 

Corrosion by atmospheric sulfur dioxide should be considered in the development and evaluation of protective coatings (267,268). Sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid therefrom are highly damaging to carbonate building stones (269).

Mortars are cements used for bonding together masonry units, such as stones or bricks. When a cement is used to conceal masonry, as a more or less smooth covering on walls, for example, it is referred to as plaster. A very fine plaster, known as stucco, is made of very thin sand or finely comminuted marble. Freshly prepared plasters and stuccos are spread on consolidated masonry to form more or less uniform and smooth layers stucco also provides a smooth and often flat outer coating. 

Resmi et al. [59] used laterite stones for the immobilization of Pseudomonas putida (MTCC 1194). The amount of bacterial biomass attached to the support was 8.64 g/100 g of stones on dry weight basis. Packed bed reactor was used for treating mixture of seven azo dyes. With the help of immobilized bacterial strain, dye mixture was degraded to nontoxic smaller molecules. It was reported that even after 2 months, bacteria-coated pebbles were stable and suitable for the aerobic degradation of azo dyes. With the help of TLC and HPLC, 61.7% degradation was reported at the concentration of 50 pg/mL of dye. 

In the past, natural resins served as universal adhesives for fixing stone points and blades to hafts of wood or antler, to glue feathers to arrow shafts and for repairing materials such as broken pottery and bone combs. As sealants, resins were used to coat the surfaces of pottery and basketry in order to provide an impermeable lining. Resins were also used to waterproof hunting equipment and fishing nets, as well as canoes and ships from Noah s Ark (Genesis 6 14) to...
