Those who have known about the stone industry should know that we often produce a lot of losses in the process of stone processing. China has formed ten stone industry clusters of large and small decimals and initially built a modern stone industry system, which produces all kinds of stones every year.
Stone products have far exceeded 1 billion square meters. According to the current stone consumption in China, the output rate is 80%, and the remaining 20% of leftover material is also an amazing figure
Most of these leftover materials, debris, and slurry slag are treated as waste; In fact, these stone wastes themselves are also good production raw materials. Through various comprehensive utilization projects, they can completely return to our life, be used by us, and turn “waste” into treasure.
These waste leftovers can be created and belong to their value. What can these leftovers be used for? So in this article, let’s talk about the story of stone leftovers.
● Used as a mosaic material
Parquet is a very ancient decorative technique. Its principle is to cut and paste stones with different textures and colors to form a unique artistic pattern.
Through mosaic, the integrated application of floor tiles can be realized, and the plane level will be fuller than a single decorative effect.
With the progress of modern design and manufacturing technology, this technology is in the ascendant. At present, in many domestic projects in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, airports, and other fields, operators tend to use parquet to enrich the decoration effect. This makes the amount and types of stone mosaic more and more, and the pattern more and more complex.
The leftover materials produced in the process of stone processing are a good source of stone mosaic. They can be used whether marble, granite, or various artificial stones. After processing the leftover materials of stone edges and corners, it can not only make full use of waste resources to achieve environmental protection and saving ecological and economic effects, but also make the whole environment full of warmth and vitality through the aesthetic feeling and aesthetic patterns of the stone.
● Stone furniture, furnishings, artworks
The lamp holder, calendar board, penholder, inkstone, ruler, color painting screen, various doors, and table handles are made of leftover materials, which are elegant and beautiful.
● Used as electrical insulation material
The leftover materials in line with electrical appliances can be made into electric switchboards, electric lamp switches, switch cabinets, etc. it is one of the indispensable materials in the power industry, and its products are very popular.
● Made of terrazzo
Terrazzo is a kind of product made of aggregate such as crushed stone, glass, and quartz mixed into bonding material and then ground and polished on the surface.
Traditional terrazzo generally uses cement as adhesive, so its surface is rough, easy to weathering and abrasion, and it’s color expression is very limited.
In recent years, since people began to replace cement with epoxy resin, a series of defects of terrazzo have been perfectly solved, the material is more delicate, starts to become smooth and bright, and the color also shows a bright beauty. In addition, it is lighter. When installed on the second or third floor, you don’t have to worry about being overweight. Today, the new terrazzo can be prefabricated and cast in situ. The prefabricated terrazzo is very easy to install and construct and is similar to ceramic tiles.
The new terrazzo is more widely used than the traditional terrazzo. Almost all families using ceramic tiles and floors can use the new terrazzo instead. The development of terrazzo is of great significance. At present, there is a wide range of ground and wall materials in China, and the new terrazzo should occupy a place. In addition, developing high-end terrazzo technology and turning waste into treasure can achieve sustainable development and promote the development of synthetic stone and multifunctional stone.
● Autoclaved aerated concrete block
Autoclaved aerated concrete block is a new building material with lightweight, high strength, heat preservation, heat insulation, sound absorption, fire prevention, sawing, and planing. Its general mass is 500-700 kg / m3, which is only equivalent to 1 / 4-1 / 3 of clay brick and lime sand brick and 1 / 5 of ordinary concrete. It is a lighter kind of concrete, It is suitable for infilled walls of high-rise buildings and load-bearing walls of low-rise buildings.
Using this material, the self-weight of the whole building can be reduced by more than 40% compared with that of ordinary brick concrete structure buildings.
Because the building weight is reduced and the earthquake damage force is small, the seismic capacity of the building is greatly improved. Lime, fly ash, slag, gypsum, cement, sand, aerating agent, bubble stabilizer, and the regulator can be used as the main raw materials for making autoclaved aerated concrete blocks.
These stone leftovers are all from natural stones. The most natural perfection and the most natural texture can create better things with a little care. Stone is the most precious treasure given to us by nature. Even a small piece of stone leftover can play a powerful role. Well, today’s article is written here.
