Aqueous, pourable, foamable, pumpable and settable dispersions and use thereof to produce porous, mineral lightweight construction materials

Abstract

An aqueous, pourable, foamable, pumpable and settable dispersion, its use to produce a porous, mineral lightweight construction material, and a process for producing the dispersion, are described. The dispersion contains cement and/or zinc phosphate cement or a mixture of cement and/or zinc phosphate cement and a Silicate and/or an aluminosilicate with an alkaline or acidic activator for producing a geopolymer and/or a geopolymer, containing a Surfactant, 0.01 to 5 wt %, relative to the dry mass of the dispersion, of modified and/or unmodified natural potato starch, rice starch, corn starch, and wheat starch and of cooked and/or raw, comminuted pieces of grains, potatoes and rice, and water having a hardness of >3.2 mmol/1. Also described herein are the porous, mineral lightweight construction material and its use. The construction material contains, relative to a given lightweight construction material, 50 wt % to 95 wt % of a cement and/or a zinc phosphate cement or a mixture of a Silicate and/or of an aluminosilicate with an alkaline or acidic activator for producing a geopolymer and/or a geopolymer with cement and/or zinc phosphate cement, 0.001 wt % to 3 wt % of a Surfactant, and 0.01 wt % to <10 wt % of potato starch, rice starch, corn starch and/or wheat starch of cooked and/or raw, comminuted pieces of grains, potatoes and rice.
