Method for producing an organic- or organic/mineral-based aggregate, organic- or organic/mineral-based aggregate and uses thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing an aggregate, characterized in that at least one particulate organic or organic/mineral starting material for aggregate is mixed with water and at least one mineral binder which can be hardened in the presence of water and/or at least one system capable of forming a hardened mineral binder in an aqueous medium, in order to obtain a material in the form of a wet powder which is compressed by extrusion or pressing in order to intimately mix the binder and/or a system capable of forming the binder/the particulate starting material/water and to increase the intrinsic density and reduce the intrinsic porosity of the material, and to obtain, as a result of the hardening of the binder or binders, a hardened, solid mass which is in the form of the aggregate of the size and/or shape desired, or is transformed into the aggregate of the size and/or shape desired by cutting or crushing, immediately after compression or in a subsequent stage.
