A process for the manufacture of lightweight aggregates from lightweight aggregate intermediates which comprises the steps of forming the intermediates by applying onto the surface of expanded plastic cores an adhesive mixture layer consisting essentially ob 60 to 99% viscous soil, 0 to 20% Portland cement, 0 to 6% sand, 0 to 10% calcium and 0
The calcareous tuff impedes the bloating process of lightweight aggregate production. At 2,000 degrees F (1,000 degrees C), the calcite simply calcines. At high temperatures of over 2,200 degrees F (1,200 degrees C), diabase rock (specific gravity of 3.0) melts to
Materials 2016, 9, 876 2 of 9 that about 0.3 million tons of paper sludge are generated per year in Taiwan. Since paper sludge is a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) in the lightweight aggregate manufacturing process, energy consumption

As a part of this commitment to quality, we procure the highest grade raw material, utilize current testing and manufacturing technologies, employ the most knowledgeable and experienced people, and constantly research new approaches that will improve both our process and our product.
Lightweight aggregate for use in the building industry is produced by pelletizing or granulating pulverized fuel ash or other siliceous material with a binder comprising lime in an amount less than 5% by weight based on the weight of the mixture of lime and siliceous material and curing the pellets or granules at a temperature within the range of from 35° C. to 100° C. in an atmosphere
A process is disclosed for forming lightweight aggregate pellets having a density of less than about 60 lbs./ft. 2 . The first step of the process is to form an admixture which includes fly ash, cement and filler. By weight percent of the admixture formed, the admixture includes greater than 60% fly ash, 1-25% cement and 1-10% filler.
