How can natural - stone stair treads be made durable?

Natural granite or marble stairs are very common products. They are indispensable for stair treads in home decoration, hotels, airports, subways, and high-speed railway stations. We often use some black granite and white marble to make the treads and risers of the stairs. These natural stones are sturdy and durable, and can also enhance the grade of the building. However, since there are many people walking on them, the steps and risers need to be sturdy to ensure that they will not be broken or fractured during use and to guarantee safety. Nevertheless, it is not difficult for us to find that due to unreasonable designs, the stair treads are prone to breakage, which affects both their appearance and safety.

 

To prevent the occurrence of chipping and corner-breaking phenomena on the stair treads, the following six points should be noted during the design:
(1) The depth of the grooves on the stair treads should not be greater than 2 mm.
(2) The spacing between the grooves on the stair treads should be greater than 10 mm.
(3) The overhanging length of the front end of the stair tread panel should not exceed 5 mm beyond the riser.
(4) The distance between the first groove on the stair tread and the front end of the stair tread is preferably greater than 20 mm.
(5) The number of grooves on the stair tread should not exceed five.
(6) The thickness of the stair tread stone should be greater than 20 mm.

3. What are 3 common uses of cerium?

 

Cerium has three common applications:

(1) It is utilized as a co-catalyst in automobile exhaust purification catalysts to maintain the oxygen storage function, enhance catalyst performance, and reduce the usage of precious metals. This catalyst has been widely adopted in automobiles, effectively mitigating pollution from vehicle exhaust emissions to the environment.

(2) It serves as an additive in optical glass to absorb ultraviolet and infrared rays. It finds extensive use in automotive glass, providing protection against UV rays and reducing car interior temperature, thereby saving electricity for air conditioning purposes.

4. What does cerium do to the body?

 

The effects of cerium on the body primarily involve hepatotoxicity and osteotoxicity, as well as potential impacts on the optic nervous system. Cerium and its compounds are detrimental to the human epidermis and optic nervous system, with even minimal inhalation posing a risk of disability or life-threatening conditions. Cerium oxide is toxic to the human body, causing harm to the liver and bones. In daily life, it is crucial to take proper precautions and avoid inhaling chemicals.

Specifically, cerium oxide can reduce prothrombin content rendering it inactive; inhibit thrombin generation; precipitate fibrinogen; and catalyze phosphate compound decomposition. Prolonged exposure to items with excessive rare earth content can result in hepatic and skeletal damage.

Additionally, polishing powder containing cerium oxide or other substances can directly enter the lungs through respiratory tract inhalation leading to lung deposition potentially resulting in silicosis. Although radioactive cerium has a low overall absorption rate in the body, infants have a relatively high fraction of 144Ce absorption in their gastrointestinal tracts. Radioactive cerium primarily accumulates in the liver and bones over time.

 

5. Is cerium carbonate soluble in water?

 

Cerium carbonate is insoluble in water but soluble in acidic solutions. It is a stable compound that does not change when exposed to air but turns black under ultraviolet light.
