how can i make sandstone tiles/blocks using sand?

Answer 1

1. First you have to make a mould in the shape and size you won't the tiles/blocks to be.

2. Next by the sand in the colour/tone you want. Most sandstone I have seen is a golden colour.
3. Now buy a bag of off white cement.
4. Buy yellow oxide and brown oxide.
5. Bag of Lime
6. Buy concrete bonding agent. If you are in Australia and good one to buy is BondCrete made by Bondall

Mix 1 part cement, 1 part lime and 4 parts sand.
Have a bucket of water with the BondCrete mix in there.

You are now going to need to experiment with the oxides. Add a small amount off yellow to get the tone you wont then swirl in some brown to give it some deeper shades. Like the sandstone you see in the site below.

Don't forget to remember the quantity's of oxide you mix in.

Answer 3

Sporosarcina pasteurii (Bacillus pasteurii) is a bacterium with the ability to digest calcite and solidify sand given a calcium source and urea, or sea water. Basically the bacteria eats the sand and as a byproduct links the sand grains at the molecular level to form a solid, or stone structure.

If you were to use the bacteria, sand and sea water mixture, you could make sandstone blocks of any size. The process takes approximately 24 hours to complete.

Answer 4

I am not sure what your use is going to be, but you would have to mix an adhesive with the sand and then would have to have a mold that you could exert a great deal of force into to pack the sand tightly enough that it would have any strength at all. You would definately need a machine that would do this.

Answer 5

Real sandstone is a sedimentary rock that was formed over millions of years by the pressure of the earth. It is not just a form of concrete that you can make from sand.

Answer 6

Since Eden was at the junction of 4 rivers i would expect it to be a very fertile river valley. Only two of these rivers in known and probably over grazing and other bad practices made Iraq what it is today, We do not know where the other two rivers are, so it could be anywhere that the Tigris and Euphrates are. FYI Adam means "Man" in Ancient Aramaic. { (Genesis 25:25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau. [ Esau may mean hairy ; he was also called Edom, which means red. ] Genesis 25:30 He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (That is why he was also called Edom. [ Edom means red . ] )}
