COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING GROUND CALCIUM CARBONATE FOR CONSOLIDATING CARBONATE ROCK FORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18185104 titled 'COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING GROUND CALCIUM CARBONATE FOR CONSOLIDATING CARBONATE ROCK FORMATION
The patent application describes a composition and method for consolidating carbonate rock formations using ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and a solvent.
- Ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and a solvent are combined to create a consolidant composition.
- The consolidant composition is applied to a rock formation.
- The GCC in the composition precipitates onto the rock formation, consolidating it.
Potential Applications: - Strengthening and stabilizing carbonate rock formations in geological or construction projects. - Enhancing the durability and longevity of structures built on carbonate rock formations.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the challenge of consolidating and strengthening carbonate rock formations effectively. - Providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for rock consolidation.
Benefits: - Improved structural integrity of carbonate rock formations. - Reduced maintenance and repair costs for structures built on such formations. - Environmentally friendly alternative to traditional consolidation methods.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Carbonate Rock Formation Consolidation Technology" This technology can be used in geological exploration, construction projects, and infrastructure development to enhance the stability and longevity of structures built on carbonate rock formations.
Questions about Carbonate Rock Formation Consolidation: 1. How does the use of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) contribute to the consolidation of carbonate rock formations?
- Ground calcium carbonate (GCC) acts as a binding agent that helps strengthen and stabilize the rock formations when applied with a solvent.
2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using this consolidant composition compared to traditional methods?
- The use of GCC and a solvent offers an environmentally friendly solution for rock consolidation, reducing the need for harmful chemicals and minimizing environmental impact.
Original Abstract Submitted
A composition for consolidating a carbonate rock formation includes ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and a solvent. A method of consolidating a carbonate rock formation includes providing a consolidant composition comprising ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and a solvent, applying the consolidant composition to a rock formation, and allowing the GCC to precipitate onto the rock formation.
