Silica fume is a byproduct of the reaction between quartz and coal, coke, or wood chips and also forms in the production of silicon and ferrosilicon alloys. Silica fume is another silica-based additive used in cementitious applications. It is classif...…
The benefits of fumed silica and silica fume in the manufacturing and construction industries are well known. While the two terms seem similar, the products have apparent differences. Unfortunately, most people use the terms interchangeably. Here is ...…
What is Fumed Silica?Fumed Silica is a form of silicon dioxide, or silicon, with the molecular formula SiO2 and a molecular weight of 60.0843 g/mol. Fumed silica is also known as pyrogenic silica. It is an odorless white powder consisting of droplets...…
What is Fumed silica?Fumed silica (pyrogenic silica and silicon dioxide) is one of the lightest substances known. Fumed silicas are very light and fluffy and have bulk densities of 3 lbs/cu ft (38 kg/cu m). Silicon metals and alloys are produced in e...…
What is Fumed Silica?Since its first production in the early forties of this century, fumed silica has found widespread use in industrial applications. Due to its pyrogenic manufacturing process by combustion of silicon tetrachloride in an oxygen-hyd...…
Silica fume concrete is more expensive than GGBS or Fly Ash concrete and increases the overall costs of the concrete, whereas other supplementary cementitious materials reduce the costs. Silica fume is an abundant material and is about 40% cheaper th...…
The partial substitution of silica fume instead of cement has multiple environmental advantages: reducing pollution due to its release in nature, conserving energy and natural resources, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing microbial ca...…
The non-biodegradable nature of industrial wastes like silica fume, glass, bottom ash, and rubber tires increases the severity of the problem. Past studies suggest that using waste materials in the cement and construction industry could be a viable s...…
What is Fumed silica?Fumed silica, or pyrogenic silica, is an amorphous, synthetic silica produced by vapor phase hydrolysis of chlorosilanes in a hydrogen-oxygen flame. Primary particles are fused into branched, three-dimensional secondary particles...…
What is Fumed silica?Fumed silica can be defined as finely divided amorphous silicon dioxide particles produced by high temperatures in an oxygen-hydrogen flame. Fumed silica, also known as pyrogenic silica because it is produced in a flame, consists...…
A disadvantage to utilizing silica fume in cement is the cost. Condensed silica fume costs $400-$1,000/ton, significantly higher than Portland cement ($90/ton). Some materials, such as silica dust, will pose no threat of explosion, while metal dust f...…
Silica fume was used to replace 0% to 15% of cement by weight at increments of 5% for both cube and cylinder. The results showed that the partial replacement of cement with silica fume significantly affected the compressive strength of the cube and s...…
Copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is an oxide of copper. It is insoluble in water and organic solvents. Copper(I) oxide dissolves in concentrated ammonia solution to form the colorless complex[Cu(NH3)2]+, which easily oxidizes in air to the blu...…
There are different techniques used to obtain material layers. Figure 2, and each of them results in different quantities, shapes, and sizes. Mainly, the approaches used in synthesizing TMDs nanostructures are the top-down and the bottom-up approache...…
Scientists from the University of Graz and the Kanzelhöhe Solar Observatory (Austria) and their colleagues from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) developed a new method based on deep learning for stable classificat…
