Abstract: Des compositions à base d'agrégats liés, tels que le béton, les produits pour la réparation du béton, les produits réfractaires pour une utilisation à haute température, les produits isolants exposés à de hautes températures et les produits isolants résistants au feu sont obtenues avec une solution aqueuse d'acide phosphorique et un mélange sec séparé et se conservant facilement d'un agrégat approprié, de phosphate monocalcique et de calcium sous la forme d'un ciment d'aluminate de calcium ou d'oxyde de calcium. La proportion des constituants humides et des constituants secs est variable, pour pouvoir modifier la solidité de la composition à base d'agrégat et la durée s'écoulant avant la prise, typiquement de l'ordre de 10 à 15 minutes. On décrit un mélange sec préféré de constituants secs et le liant à mélanger avec l'agrégat pour obtenir le mélange sec préféré. Le système de liant est particulièrement avantageux en ce que le même jeu de constituants peut facilement être utilisé pour une variété d'agrégats, ce qui a pour effet de diminuer les coûts de la préparation de différentes compositions à base d'agrégats, grâce à la bonne disponibilité des matières de départ et grâce au fait que l'on n'a plus besoin de conserver en stock différents liants pour différentes compositions à base d'agrégats. Le coût est encore diminué par l'utilisation de constituants moins purs et donc moins chers.

Title: Speciated isotope dilution mass spectrometry of reactive species and related methods
Inventor: KINGSTON HOWARD M
IPC: G01N27/00
Filed: 1999-01-28
Granted: 2009-04-14
Abstract: A method of speciated isotope dilution mass spectrometry (SIDMS) which will permit determination of concentrations of one or more species from a sample even if the sample has been subjected to species conversion prior to species separation or degradation or incomplete separation exists. At least one predetermined stable isotope is spiked to convert the stable isotope to a speciated enriched isotope corresponding to the specie or species to be measured in the sample. The sample containing the species to be measured is spiked and the isotopic spiked specie and species to be measured are equilibrated. The species are separated from the sample and an isotope ratio determination for each specie to be measured is made. The species concentrations are then mathematically deconvoluted while correcting for species conversion and/or incomplete separation. The method may be employed to validate other methods. The method may also be employed in the preparation and analysis of speciated standard reference materials. The method may be employed in quantifying Cr(III) and Cr(VI).
