A Technological features of the process of swelling of raw materials contribute to the creation of non-traditional compact enterprises without additional infrastructure costs with the possibility of using high-temperature solar furnaces in certain areas.

 

 

This technology can be used on Mars. Because:

 

 

 

1. Clay has been discovered on Mars. This is the raw material for ceramic foam.

 

 

 

2. The classical method of expanded clay production takes place in the CO² environment - the atmosphere of Mars.

 

 

 

3. The technology does not require water, oxygen and hydrocarbons for the production, that is, those components that are present on Mars in limited quantities.

 

 

 

4. The presence of amorphous material - more than 80% in ceramic foam allows you to connect products by welding, solder from waste, eliminating the need for additional components.

 

 

 

 

  5. Ceramic foam obtained from clayey and stone-like clayey rocks (shale rocks) swells due to the products of thermal dissociation of gaseous substances from various components:
