Abstract
Methods for engineered mesoporous cellular magmatics and articles thereof are disclosed. For example, the magmatics may include a mixture of substance that, when exposed to heat for a length of time, form a foamed mass. The foamed mass may be exposed to a solution configured to cause mineralization upon and within the articles.
Claims20
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a rigid foam mass being composed of at least one silicate based component and having:
- a non-crystalline portion;
- and
- a crystalline portion that is bound to the non-crystalline portion, in line with the definition of glass ceramics;
- and
- a zeolite material disposed within and enclosed by pores of at least a portion of at least one of the non-crystalline portion or the crystalline portion.

An article of manufacture, comprising:
- an engineered foam mass having:
- at least one of a non-crystalline portion or a crystalline portion bound to the non-crystalline portion;
- and
- a zeolite material disposed within pores of at least a portion of the at least one of the non-crystalline portion or the crystalline portion.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- creating a mixture of:
- a pulverized or powdered glass;
- a pulverized or powdered blowing agent;
- and
- a vitreous material having a melting temperature higher than the pulverized or powdered glass and the pulverized or powdered blowing agent;
- applying heat to the mixture at a first temperature and for a first dwell time until:
- at least a portion of the mixture sinters;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered glass foams to form a foamed mass;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered blowing agent decomposes;
- and
- the vitreous material is enclosed by pores of the foamed mass;
- and
- applying a solution configured to cause the synthesis of zeolites upon the foamed mass.
