Abstract
Abstract A method for the production of synthetic wollastonite material. The treatment involves slag melt which is obtained during the thermal production of phosphorous from crude phosphate. This slag is then treated with water under a preferred embodiment and burned at a certain temperature in an oxidizing atmosphere.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
The method of producing steam hardened calcium silicate building materials, comprising steam hardening a synthetic wollastonite material, said wollastonite having been produced prior to its said steam hardening by a process which includes the steps of quenching in water the slag melt obtained during the thermal production of phosphorous from crude phosphate, and then burning the quenched melt in the substantial absence of phosphate slime in a rotary kiln at a temperature of about 1100° C in an oxidizing atmosphere for a period of time sufficient to produce a clear change in color.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
93 words
The method of producing steam hardened calcium silicate building materials, comprising steam hardening a synthetic wollastonite material, said wollastonite having been produced prior to its said steam hardening by a process which includes the steps of quenching in water the slag melt obtained during the thermal production of phosphorous from crude phosphate, and then burning the quenched melt in the substantial absence of phosphate slime in a rotary kiln at a temperature of about 1100° C in an oxidizing atmosphere for a period of time sufficient to produce a clear change in color.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said process comprises adding a modifying mineral substance to the slag before burning, said substance being selected from the group of substances which are Al 2 O 3 -containing and added in the proportions of 1 to 15% by weight of Al 2 O 3 relative to the slag, SiO 2 -containing and added the proportions of 2 to 30% by weight of SiO 2 relative to the slag, and alkali metal oxide-containing and added in the proportions of 0.5 to 10% by weight of oxide relative to the slag.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said process further comprises removing impurities after quenching, said removing being carried out by a settling process utilizing an aqueous medium.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said process includes compacting of the quenched slag melt.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
94 words
The method of brightening bituminous pavement in road construction, comprising combining with bituminous paving material a synthetic wollastonite material, said wollastonite having been produced prior to its said use by a process which includes the steps of quenching in water the slag melt obtained during the thermal production of phosphorous from crude phosphate, and then burning the quenched melt in the substantial absence of phosphate slime in a rotary kiln at a temperature of about 1100° C in an oxidizing atmosphere for a period of time sufficient to produce a clear change in color.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
94 words
The method of brightening bituminous pavement in road construction, comprising combining with bituminous paving material a synthetic wollastonite material, said wollastonite having been produced prior to its said use by a process which includes the steps of quenching in water the slag melt obtained during the thermal production of phosphorous from crude phosphate, and then burning the quenched melt in the substantial absence of phosphate slime in a rotary kiln at a temperature of about 1100° C in an oxidizing atmosphere for a period of time sufficient to produce a clear change in color.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
96 words
The method of claim 5, wherein said process comprises adding a modifying mineral substance to the slag before burning, said substance being selected from the group of substances which are Al 2 O 3 -containing and added in the proportions of 1 to 15% by weight of Al 2 O 3 relative to the slag, SiO 2 -containing and added the proportions of 2 to 30% by weight of SiO 2 relative to the slag, and alkali metal oxide-containing and added in the proportions of 0.5 to 10% by weight of oxide relative to the slag.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 5, wherein said process further comprises removing impurities after quenching, said removing being carried out by a settling process utilizing an aqueous medium.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
8 words
The product of the method of claim 1.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
8 words
The product of the method of claim 5.
