The inert gas phase can be introduced by adding a gas generating material to the cement composition and/or a porous material to the cement composition. In an embodiment, the gas generating material is a nitrogen generating material that may be activated by an oxidizing agent. In another embodiment, the gas generating material is a hydrogen generating material, e.g., an aluminum powder. The present invention further provides a cement composition comprising a cement, one or more beads combined with the cement, and an inert gas phase created by, e.g., a gas generating material and/or a porous material.

A kind of mining oil gas method of the convection heating up oil-shale, involves the underground solid state energy and the mineral mining method improvement. The existing technical mining method efficiency is low, the cost is high, the scale is small, the big area implements and lacks the market competition ability with difficulty. This invention through in the ground arrangement group well, and selects the compression fracture method causes the group well to be interlinked, then the gap takes turns to choose the note hot-well and work-well, hot-well pours into 400 deg.C - 700 deg.C steam along the note oil-shale the ore level, heats up the ore level causes cheese root thermal decomposition to form the oil gas, and carries after the low temperature steam or the water along the production separates to the ground, finally forms the oil gas product. In the separation process may simultaneously the pre- hot water, and uses the water-injection well withdraws with work-well the convection way dries up oil-shale and the ore level around shale region afterheat, thus realized the goal of this invention is fast, big scale, low cost from oil-shale ore level mining oil gas.

The invention describes a new calcium phosphate cement powder, whose composition can best be described over the Ca/P molar ratio range of 1.35 to 1.40, most preferably 1.39, and whose two components were prepared by wet chemical synthesis procedures. One component is chemically-synthesized, bi-phasic alpha-TCP (Ca₃(PO₄)₂, 95 wt %)+HA (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, 5 wt %) powder, while the second component is again a chemically-synthesized, single-phase DCPD (CaHPO₄·2H₂O) powder. A setting solution (Na₂HPO₄·2H₂O) is used to form a self-setting calcium phosphate cement from the powder mixture. This cement can be used as bone filler or bone substitute in applications, which require higher rates of resorption.

A method of making precipitated silica abrasive compositions having excellent cleaning performance and lower abrasiveness with post-reactor sizing of the abrasive particles being performed via air classification techniques is provided. By targeting a specific particle size range, it has been determined that higher pellicle film cleaning levels may be achieved without also increasing the dentin abrasion properties of the silica products themselves. As a result, dentifrices including such classified abrasive silica products, and exhibiting particularly desirable cleaning benefits, can be provided for improved tooth polishing, whitening, and the like, without deleteriously affecting the hard tooth surfaces. Also encompassed within this invention also are products of this selective process scheme and dentifrices containing such classified silica products.

The invention discloses a house pillar changeable panel upward demix filling mining method. An ore body is divided into an ore house and an ore pillar arranged at intervals along the strike direction; a plurality of house pillars form a panel; a rock trackless preparation system is adopted and comprises a ramp, a rock slice drift, a demix ventilation connection and a rock concentrated ore removal winze; the mechanical upward demix filling mining method is adopted for mining, which mines a slice and fills the slice until the position required by the lower slice blasting compensation is reached. The backstopping order of the house pillars in the panel is the ore house first and then the ore pillar; all ore houses are subjected to upward backstopping at the same time; after a backstopping unit of the ore house is finished, the roof-contacted filling is carried out, and the mining of the ore house is temporarily stopped and the mining of the ore pillar is started; after two backstopping units of the ore pillar are finished, the roof-contacted filling is carried out, and the mining of the ore house is resumed; the abovementioned steps are repeated until the backstopping of the ore block is completed. The invention has the remarkable characteristics of improving the backstopping safety, reducing the resource dilution rate, lowering the support cost, increasing the enterprise profit, and the like.
