George F Averitt of Arverne New York claims a fireproof mortar made from 90 percent coal ashes and 10 percent double hydraulic cement. Tests supervised by Manhattan’s department of buildings show high insulating properties with blocks withstanding 1700 degrees Fahrenheit and minimal heat transfer. The method could convert vast coal ash wastes dumped into the ocean into durable ceilings and blocks, potentially using millions of cubic yards annually.
