Salt, sea or stone, has special curative properties. The salt room people with diseases of the respiratory system can improve their health. Salt lamps in the house purify the air. Galit is able to rid the house of dampness. Now hotly debated idea of salt use in construction. How can this be translated into real objects - in this material HouseChief.ru.
Where and why the image of excess salt
It is known that sodium chloride may be present naturally in various embodiments. For example, Himalayan pink salt, known for its unique medical effects on the human body, is not cheap and is produced in limited quantities. It is unlikely that someone will come to mind to build a house of this halite. But it is actively used in the decoration in the form of blocks or special lamps.
So what kind of salt for the building in question? The fact that now all the more urgent becomes the problem of the depletion of fresh water resources. Scientists have developed a technology for the desalination of sea water. In operation of such installations marine salt is separated and discharged back into the sea as a waste material. Dutch architect E. Dzhobers proposed to use this sodium chloride for construction.
How are made of salt blocks
For the formation of the building blocks Dzhobers offers connecting distiller waste starch from algae. The material is formed into blocks and dried in the sun. It turns out very strong bricksThat can withstand a lot of pressure.
This invention can solve the problem of a shortage of building materials in arid areas, such as in deserts Gulf.
To do so constructed homes more durable, the inventor proposes to cover their surface-based composition epoxy resin.
Where the first hydrochloric city will be built
Development Dzhobersa interested wealthy Qataris. It is known that in this region there is an active oil production, but with the building material is still a big problem. The sandy desert no timber, no sufficient amount of clay for making bricks. Plus - with fresh water issues. But the salty waters of the Persian Gulf - literally around. So, most likely, the first city of the sea salt will be there. And then, it is possible - and Crimean expanse, so that fresh water needs.
