SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The use of natural zeolites in construction industry is presented. Zeolitic tuffs have been used for thousands of years as light – weight, durable dimension stone. Starting from the end of 20thcentury natural zeolites found large utilization in building materials: in cement manufacture, in clay – cement mixtures, in stability agents for cement manufacture, for aerated concrete production. Geopolymers are a new fire, blast and dried resistance group of building materials. Clinoptilolite tuffs can be utilized for the production of geopolymers.
