Inventor: GREGG F BROWNE
IPC: B32B13/14
Filed: 2000-10-06
Granted: 2006-02-14
Abstract: A system and method for making wallboard or backerboard sheets may include mixing materials for making aerated concrete with a mixer, supplying at leas t one face layer from a supply, and forming, downstream from the mixer, core material having opposing first and second major surfaces and including aerat ed concrete. At least one face layer from the at least one face layer supply is secured onto at least one of the first and second major surfaces of the core material. A cutter, downstream from the former, cuts the core material and a t least one face layer secured thereto into a plurality of wallboard or backerboard sheets. The provision of aerated concrete for the core provides many key advantages over conventional gypsum wallboard sheets, and/or conventional backerboard sheets, such as gypsum greenboard or cementitious backerboard, for example. In one class of embodiments, the former may furthe r include an autoclave for curing the core material prior to securing the at least one face layer thereto. In another class, the former may further inclu de an autoclave for curing the core material after securing the at least one fa ce layer thereto.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing impurities in cellulose fibers for manufacture of fiber reinforced cement composite materials
Inventor: MERKLEY DONALD J
IPC: C04B28/02
Filed: 2001-09-25
Granted: 2010-04-27
Abstract: A method of manufacturing high purity fiber cement grades of cellulose fibers is described. Additional washing steps, coupled with an elevated temperature, are used in the process to extensively wash the pulps and remove substantially all COD components remaining in the pulps. The pulps are counter-currently washed by diffusion and dewatering at elevated temperatures following the brown stock washer systems. During the additional washing steps, the pulps are soaked in counter-current heated water for a pre-determined time and some chemicals may be introduced to chemically break down the COD components in the pulps and to make them more soluble in the aqueous solution. The additional washing steps can be performed using existing equipment at conventional pulp mills. A formulation and a process of making fiber reinforced cement composite materials are also described using the low COD and high purity cellulose fibers. The pulps with lower COD contents have superior performance in manufacture of fiber reinforced cement composite materials. A smaller amount of the low COD and high purity fibers is needed to achieve the same reinforcement efficiency, compared to regular cellulose fibers.
