Abstract:
The potential use of steel slag from treated steel slag in belite-sulfoaluminate cements was investigated in this study. Cement clinkers with two phase compositions were synthesized, allowing the incorporation of different amounts of steel slag. The phase composition and microstructure of cement clinkers at three different sintering temperatures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method, as well as scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry. The results showed that the targeted phase composition of clinkers was achieved at a sintering temperature of 1250 °C. However, a higher amount of perovskite instead of ferrite was detected in the clinker with a higher content of Ti-bearing bauxite. Apart from the main phases, such as belite, calcium sulfoaluminate, and ferrite, several minor phases were identified, including mayenite, perovskite, periclase, and alkali sulfates. In both clinker mixtures, a higher content of MgO in the steel slags resulted in the formation of periclase. Furthermore, the hydration kinetics and compressive strength at 7 and 28 days were studied in two cements prepared from clinkers sintered at 1250 °C. As evidenced by the results of isothermal calorimetry, the hydration kinetics were also influenced by the minor clinker phases. Cement with a higher content of calcium sulfoaluminate phase developed a higher compressive strength.

Abstract:
The synthesis of belite clinker was studied using industrial wastes: paper sludge, cement kiln dust and rice husk ashes, as substitutes for natural raw materials. Wastes were characterized by XRF, XRD and TG analysis. Different formulations were prepared to produce clinker at 1300, 1350 and 1400 °C. The clinker obtained was characterized using optical microscopy, XRD and f-CaO content determined by ethylene glycol method. Finally, the hydration of prepared cements with the clinkers was evaluated by isothermal microcalo­rimetry. It was found that by mixing paper sludge, cement kiln dust and rice husk ashes, it is possible to obtain belite clinker with f-CaO content below 0.5%, in clinkering temperatures between 1350 °C and 1400 °C without the use of natural raw materials. It was found that these cements have a high hydration kinetic, far above the rate of Ordinary Portland Cement, due mainly by the amorphous phase content in clinkers obtained.

Abstract:
Ternesite–ye’elimite (TCSA) cement is a new type of environmentally advantageous binder prepared by introducing ternesite, a reactive phase, into belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement clinker. This paper reports the laboratory production of TCSA cement by the addition of minor elements to achieve the coexistence of ternesite and ye’elimite. The influence of dopants on the mineralogical composition of clinkers and the clinkering conditions for the preparation of TCSA cement clinkers were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties and hydration products of the cement pastes were also studied. The results indicated that the addition of CaF2, P2O5 and Na2O can promote the coexistence of ternesite and ye’elimite, and that Na2O is the most effective candidate. TCSA cement clinkers could be successfully prepared at 1150 °C for 30 min by doping 0.3% Na2O. The TCSA cement clinkers exhibited shorter setting times than the BCSA cement clinkers. The later strength of TCSA cement showed a significant increase compared with BCSA cement. The effect of Na2O was different on the strength development for TCSA and BCSA cement. The dissolution of ternesite could promote the formation of ettringite. The reactivity of belite was higher in TCSA cement due to the formation of strätlingite.

Abstract:
The paper presents experimental results regarding the synthesis of Portland clinker starting from raw mixes based on two types of clayey precursors, i.e., clay and marl (the most common types of raw materials used in the cement industry), with and without glass waste content. The soda-lime glass waste addition (5.36–5.59 wt %), used to control the silica ratio of the raw mix, improved the raw mix burnability and decreased the calcination temperature (by 20 °C), leading to a decrease in fuel consumption and contributing to the reduction in CO2 emissions associated with clinker and cement production. The clinkers obtained by the calcination of raw mixes with glass waste content at 1430 °C with a 30 min plateau had a similar mineralogical composition and microstructure to the clinkers obtained from the reference raw mixes and fulfilled the requirements of the specific standard EN 197-1. The obtained clinkers were used to produce two types of Portland cement, i.e., a unitary cement (CEM I) and a binary blended cement with slag (CEM II/B-S). The main characteristics of these cements, i.e., loss on ignition, insoluble residue, sulfate and chloride contents, as well as the setting time and soundness, meet the conditions stipulated in the EN 197-1 standard. The values of compressive strength, assessed on mortars after 2, 7 and 28 days of curing, allow the classification of all CEM I cements in the 42.5 R class. In the case of CEM II/B-S cements, those obtained from raw mixes with clay can be classified in the 42.5 N class, while those obtained from raw mixes with marl are classified in the 32.5 R class.

Abstract:
The most popular building material, including on transport facilities, is cement. Cement production is associated with the electricity costs. The biggest cost item is the consumption for the cement clinker grinding. It is known that disperse characteristics of cements, such as fineness of grinding, specific surface, coarseness of grading, largely determine their hydraulic properties, and for expanding cements - the deformation ones. In the paper, the issues of electric power consumption were considered when grinding extender expanders: aluminous slag, sulfoaluminate, sulfoferrite and sulfoalumoferrite clinkers.

Abstract:
This study investigated the influence of different cooling regimes on the microstructure and consequent reactivity of belite-sulfoaluminate clinkers. The cement clinkers were synthesized by incorporating secondary raw materials, such as titanogypsum and bottom ash, to the natural raw materials. Clinker phases were determined by Rietveld quantitative phase analysis, while the distribution morphology and the incorporation of substitute ions in the phases were characterized by scanning electron microscopy using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Clinker reactivity was studied using isothermal calorimetry and was additionally investigated through compressive strength, which was determined for the cement prepared from the synthesized clinkers. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that, as well as the three main phases (belite, calcium sulfoaluminate, and ferrite), the clinkers contained additional minor phases (mayenite, gehlenite, arkanite, periclase, and perovskite), the ratios of which varied according to the cooling regime utilized. Microscopic observations indicated that the cooling regime also influenced the crystal size and morphology of the main phases, which consequently affected clinker reactivity. Furthermore, a smaller amount of substitute elements was incorporated in the main phases when cooling was slowed. Results showed that, in comparison to clinkers cooled at slower rates, air quenched clinkers reacted faster and exhibited a higher compressive strength at 7 days.

Abstract:
The cement industry has for some time been seeking alternative raw material for the Portland cement clinker production. The aim of this research was to investigate the possibility of utilizing iron ore tailings (IOT) to replace clay as alumina-silicate raw material for the production of Portland cement clinker. For this purpose, two kinds of clinkers were prepared: one was prepared by IOT; the other was prepared by clay as a reference. The reactivity and burnability of raw meal, mineralogical composition and physical properties of clinker, and hydration characteristic of cement were studied by burnability analysis, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and hydration analysis. The results showed that the raw meal containing IOT had higher reactivity and burnability than the raw meal containing clay, and the use of IOT did not affect the formation of characteristic mineralogical phases of Portland cement clinker. Furthermore, the physical and mechanical performance of two cement clinkers were similar. In addition, the use of IOT was found to improve the grindability of clinker and lower the hydration heat of Portland cement. These findings suggest that IOT can replace the clay as alumina-silicate raw material for the preparation of Portland cement clinker.

Abstract:
Interlaboratory studies on the precision and accuracy of Rietveld quantitative phase analysis (R-QPA) of mixtures of crystalline phases have already been carried out. However, cement-related materials are samples of variable complexity, ranging from three phases in white Portland clinkers to more than eight phases in grey cements, that need to be specifically investigated. Here, the results are reported from a round robin on the R-QPA of cement-related materials from laboratories with experience in this type of analysis. The aim of the work was to evaluate the levels of precision and accuracy associated with Portland clinkers and cements. Two sets of samples have been investigated, artificial mixtures and commercial samples. Artificial mixtures were prepared by mixing (weighing) synthesized single-crystalline phases in the appropriate proportions: (i) white clinker (Ca3SiO5, Ca2SiO4and Ca3Al2O6) and (ii) grey cement (Ca3SiO5, Ca2SiO4, Ca3Al2O6, Ca4Al2Fe2O10, CaCO3and CaSO4·2H2O). These two samples were used to assess the accuracy and uncertainty of the procedure, as an expected mineralogical phase fraction, the `true mineralogical percentage', is available under the assumption of negligible non-diffracting contents. In order to assess the validity and limitations of the Rietveld-based approach for cement materials, three commercial samples were measured: (i) white Portland clinker, (ii) grey Portland clinker and (iii) a type-I grey Portland cement. The samples studied have been chosen in order to cover most of the different typologies of binders. Reproducibilities and general uncertainty values, with a level of confidence of 95%, are reported and discussed.

Abstract:
The necessity to reduce CO2 emissions has increased the driving force for the cement research community to develop alternatives to traditional Portland cement (PC). One of the alternative cements being investigated is calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CS ̅A), first developed commercially in China in the 1970's. CS ̅A cements are produced by clinkering together limestone, bauxite, clay and calcium sulfate to produce mainly ye'elimite (C4A3S ̅) and belite (C2S). Due to the presence of ye'elimite, SO3 content is typically between 6 – 10 wt%. The abundance of elemental sulfur arising from the desulfurisation of oil and gas and its use to produce CS ̅A clinkers were the starting points of the Green Concrete Project (GCP), which aimed to develop a novel approach to produce CS ̅A cement via the combustion of elemental sulfur, recycling this by-product and reducing the dependence on hydrocarbon fuels. Integrating the current knowledge on the production of CS ̅A, a new generation of CS ̅A belite calcium sulfoaluminate (BCS ̅A) and belite-ye'elimite-ternesite (BYT) clinkers incorporating the combustion of elemental sulfur has been successfully developed and produced in a pilot plant production process. A high-temperature thermodynamic model was developed to predict stable assemblages and to complement and validate experimental results. Within the frame of the GCP, the title thesis focused on collecting conditional thermodynamic data for ye'elimite and ternesite (enthalpy of formation) that were determined experimentally using isothermal conduction calorimetry. The enthalpies of formation of ye'elimite and ternesite at 25 °C were determined to be -8523 kJ/mol and -5993 kJ/mol, respectively. The thesis was also focus on characterising two clinkers of interest (designated BCS ̅A and BYT) obtained from a pilot plant trial (with the novelty of sulfur combustion). The obtained clinkers, BCS ̅A and BYT, have a distinctive mineralogy where alpha prime belite (α΄-C2S) and ternesite (C5S2S ̅) are present, respectively. Both phases are candidates to replace a significant amount of ye'elimite and therefore reduce the need of expensive bauxite to establish a more sustainable cement. The alpha prime polymorph of belite proved to be more reactive than the beta. However, actions had to be taken to control the fast setting of this BCS ̅A cement. To provide a solution to the fast setting problem a variety of retarders were investigated: 0.5 wt% citric acid with an additional 5 wt% gypsum showed the best results. A fundamental solution was also Abstract 5 investigated in order to avoid the use of any retarders. The results showed that the clinkering temperature should be around 1300 °C. The hydration of ternesite in the BYT cement was found to be moderate. Therefore, a thorough investigation was conducted to understand and find ways to enhance its reactivity. It was found that the addition/presence of 0.4 wt% MgO, 0.2 wt% K2O and 0.1wt% Na2O in the raw meal required for the synthesis of ternesite, can increase its reactivity. Furthermore, it was found that particle size distribution above 600 m2/kg can also accelerate its reactivity. Single-phase chemically activated ternesite hydrated rapidly at 25 °C, achieving compressive strengths of ≈ 30 and ≈ 65 MPa at 28 and 90 days respectively, with C-S-H and gypsum as hydration products.

Growing environmental concerns encourage the cement industry to improve its environmental performance, which in turn renews the interest in clinker grinding efficiency. Current knowledge on clinker grinding was built over the past decades, but contributions from fracture mechanics remained limited. This research aimed to contribute to this field by investigating industrial clinkers with innovative techniques such as multiscale microscratching and statistical electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). Microstructure investigations were first performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and three characteristic length scales were defined for clinkers: the nodules at the macroscale, the clinker matrix and porosity at the intermediate scale, and the clinker phases at the microscale. A statistical EPMA method was developed to allow simultaneous determination of the clinker bulk chemistry, the chemistry of the clinker phases, and their abundance. The microscratch test method was downscaled to measure the fracture properties at each characteristic scale of clinkers. Measurements on single silicate grains provided access to the intrinsic fracture toughness, which was three to four time lower than the macroscale fracture toughness. A combination of microstructure effects and toughening mechanisms (crack deflection, crack tip shielding by microcracks, crack trapping, and crack pinning) explained this behavior. Comparison of industrial clinkers showed that higher macroscale toughness (i.e., poor coarse grindability) was associated with oversized alite crystals, which was explained by the increase of microcracks toughening with larger grain size. In contrast, lower macroscale fracture toughness (i.e., better coarse grindability) was associated with either poorly burned clinkers showing excessive porosity or well burned clinkers having a good repartition of small silicates. However, difficulties in fine grinding were expected for the poorly burned clinkers because of the increased amounts of clustered belite. Overall, this thesis presents new experimental methods to investigate clinkers, as well as links between clinkers properties and grindability, both of which hold interest to the scientific community and the cement industry.

Abstract:
Cement clinker production is a highly resource and energy intensive process and contributes substantially to annual global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. One potential pathway to reduce the environmental footprint of cement-based materials is through the reduction of clinker content in concrete by partial replacement of cement with fillers. In this investigation, the partial replacement of cement with chemically inert nano and microsized fillers of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and limestone was examined. The effects of nano and micro fillers on early-age properties, long-term properties, photocatalytic properties (for TiO₂-cement mixtures) and life cycle costs were measured and compared. Investigation of early-age properties shows that nanoparticles increase rate and degree of early cement hydration and chemical shrinkage due to heterogeneous nucleation effect. In contrast, coarser microparticles (>3µm in this research) maintain or marginally decrease the rate and degree of early cement hydration and decrease chemical shrinkage due to a dilution effect. In addition, temperature sensitivity of hydration reactions increases in the presence of nanoparticles. Investigation of long-term properties shows that pore size refinement is possible with the partial replacement of cement with nanoparticle fillers. But the long-term tests of filler-cement mixes also demonstrate that, compared to ordinary portland cement mix, the strength decreases and permeability increases. Analysis of photocatalytic properties of TiO₂-cement mixtures showed a lack of an appropriate testing procedure for nitrogen oxide (NOₓ) gas conversion by cement-based materials. Thus, a new standardized procedure and photocatalytic efficiency factor for characterizing photocatalytic NOₓ binding by cementitious materials is proposed. Life cycle analysis demonstrates that although inclusion of TiO₂ increases initial environmental impact of cementitious materials, the innovative photocatalytic properties of TiO₂ could improve sustainability. Life cycle analysis also shows that partial replacement of cement with limestone decreases environmental impact of cementitious mixtures due to lower processing “costs” of limestone compared to cement. Thus, the results from the current research demonstrate that variation of dosage and particle size of inert fillers can be used to tailor properties and structure of cement-based materials and that environmental sustainability can be improved by partial replacement of cement with inert fillers that introduce additional functionalities or fillers with lower embodied-energy and emissions.

Abstract:
Le ciment Portland est de loin le liant hydraulique le plus connu et utilisé depuis de très nombreuses années tant dans le secteur de la construction civile qu’au niveau du stockage des déchets (barrières ouvragées ou matériau de confinement). Le processus industriel qui donne naissance au clinker, constituant de base du ciment Portland, n’a pas subi de modifications depuis des décennies.

Par ailleurs, au cours de ces dernières années, certaines considérations telles que le réchauffement climatique et le développement durable ont mis à mal les industries qui émettent des gaz à effets de serre et qui sont grosses consommatrices d’énergie.

Or, la production de ciment Portland n’est pas uniquement consommatrice de calcaires, d’argiles, de marnes et de combustibles fossiles, elle produit et libère ces gaz à effets de serre tels que le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) et l’hémioxyde nitreux (N2O). Le dioxyde de soufre (SO2), l’acide chlorhydrique (HCl) ainsi que d’autres oxydes d’azote (NOx) sont également émis lors du processus de fabrication du clinker. Le secteur des matériaux de construction contribue de façon importante aux émissions de CO2, le principal responsable du réchauffement climatique.

La problématique majeure de l’industrie cimentière provient d’un simple processus chimique de transformation :la décarbonatation du calcaire ou de la craie, débutant vers 550°C, qui forme de la chaux (CaO) et qui libère du dioxyde de carbone selon la réaction suivante :

Abstract:
Dans le circuit primaire des réacteurs nucléaires à eau pressurisée, le bore participe au contrôle des réactions de fission. Le traitement de cette solution génère des déchets aqueux contenant une forte concentration en bore (de 1 à 3 mol/L). Le conditionnement de ces déchets à l'aide d'un ciment silico-calcique est compliqué par le fort pouvoir retardateur des ions borate sur l'hydratation du liant. Un traitement des déchets à la chaux est nécessaire pour précipiter les ions borate sous forme d'hexahydroborite. Cette stratégie, si elle limite le retard d'hydratation, ne le supprime pas. Par ailleurs, l'hexahydroborite est instable en milieu cimentaire et se convertit dans le temps en boroaluminate de calcium. Une autre approche pourrait consister à utiliser un ciment sulfoalumineux bélitique à forte teneur en ye'elimite. Ce liant présente en effet l'avantage de former en quantité importante des phases de type AFm et/ou AFt lors de son hydratation, phases qui peuvent incorporer des ions borate dans leur structure.Au cours de ce travail, l'hydratation de ciments sulfoalumineux par des solutions de borate de sodium a été étudiée au jeune âge et à plus long terme (sur une durée de 2 ans) dans l'objectif de préciser l'influence d'un ensemble de paramètres (pH du déchet, concentration en bore, taux de gypse du ciment) sur la vitesse d'hydratation du liant, la nature des hydrates formés, et les propriétés du matériau obtenu (résistance mécanique, stabilité dimensionnelle). Pour ce faire, une démarche analytique, procédant par complexification progressive des systèmes étudiés, a été mise en œuvre. Ainsi ont été successivement abordées la spéciation du bore en solution alcaline, l'étude des phases précipitant au sein des systèmes {CaO, B2O3, Na2O, H2O}, {CaO, B2O3, Al2O3, H2O} et {CaO, Al2O3, B2O3, SO3, H2O}, puis celle des pâtes de ciment gâchées avec une solution boratée simulant le déchet. L'approche expérimentale a été complétée par des modélisations thermodynamiques s'appuyant sur une base de données spécialement développée pour les besoins de l'étude.Il apparaît que le gypse joue un rôle primordial dans le contrôle de la réactivité du ciment. L'ajout de gypse fixe, par un mécanisme indirect, le pH de la solution interstitielle à une valeur proche de 11, ce qui favorise la précipitation transitoire d'un composé boraté faiblement cristallisé, l'ulexite. La dissolution des phases anhydres du ciment est alors fortement ralentie jusqu'à l'épuisement du gypse, conduisant ainsi à des retards de prise considérables. En l'absence de gypse, le retard à l'hydratation est de plus faible amplitude. Dans ces conditions, le pH de la solution interstitielle atteint des valeurs plus élevées, ce qui permet de déstabiliser rapidement l'ulexite. A plus long terme, les ions borate sont incorporés au sein d'une phase de type AFt, en solution solide avec les ions sulfate. Les résultats obtenus permettent de conclure que ce sont les ciments sulfo-alumineux contenant une faible teneur en gypse qui sont les plus adaptés au conditionnement de solutions à forte concentration en bore
In the primary circuit of pressurized water reactors, boron helps controlling the fission reactions. The treatment of this solution produces aqueous low-level or intermediate-level and short lived radioactive with a high boron concentration (up to 1 to 3 mol/L). Stabilization/solidification of such wastes with calcium silicate cement is complicated by the strong retarding effect of borate ions on cement hydration. A calcium hydroxide addition is required to precipitate borate ions into hexahydroborite. With this approach, the hydration delay is limited, but not suppressed. Besides, hexahydroborite is unstable in the cement paste and is progressively converted into a hydrated calcium boroaluminate phase. Another strategy may consist in using belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement with high ye'elimite content. During hydration, this binder forms indeed large amounts of AFm and/or AFt phases which can incorporate borate ions into their structure.In this work, hydration of calcium sulfoaluminate cement by borated solutions was investigated at early age, and over a 2-year period, in order to determine the influence of a set of parameters (boron concentration and pH of the waste, gypsum content of the cement) on the hydration rate of the binder, on the phase assemblage formed, and on the properties of the resulting material (mechanical strength, volume change). An analytical approach was adopted, based on a progressive increase in the complexity of the investigated systems. The focus was successively placed on the speciation of boron in alkaline solution, on the study of the phases formed within the {CaO, B2O3, Na2O, H2O}, {CaO, B2O3, Al2O3, H2O} and {CaO, Al2O3, B2O3, SO3, H2O} systems, and on the characterization of cement pastes prepared with a borate solution which mimicked the waste. The experimental approach was completed by thermodynamic modelling using a database specially developed for the needs of the study. Gypsum appears to play a key role in controlling the reactivity of cement. The gypsum addition sets, by an indirect mechanism, the interstitial solution pH at a value close to 11, which promotes the precipitation of a poorly crystallized borated compound, ulexite. Dissolution of the anhydrous phases is strongly slowed down until the exhaustion of gypsum, and major delays are observed. Without any gypsum, the hydration delay is shorter. Under these conditions, the pore solution pH reaches higher values after mixing. Ulexite is consequently quickly destabilized. Borate anions are then incorporated into a mixed borate/sulphate AFt type phase. It appears that calcium sulfoaluminate cements with low gypsum contents should be recommended to solidify borated solutions

Abstract:
Le projet Européen « SeRaMCo » vise à la fabrication d’éléments préfabriqués en béton contenant des granulats recyclés et du ciment « recyclé ». Ce ciment est fabriqué en incorporant des déchets de construction et de démolition dans le cru cimentier, notamment la fraction fine qui est la plus riche en pâte de ciment durci. Cette thèse de doctorat a permis de mieux comprendre l’impact de la variabilité chimique et minéralogique des granulats recyclés sur le taux d’incorporation et sur la proportion des autres constituants du cru. Les synthèses en laboratoire et caractérisations associées ont permis de suivre l’évolution de la minéralogie au cours de l’élévation de la température et pour plusieurs types et taux de granulats recyclés. Les essais ont aussi montré, notamment par microscopie électronique en transmission, que pour un taux élevé d’incorporation, la présence de quartz, de feldspath et de céramique peut altérer l’aptitude à la cuisson du cru et les mécanismes réactionnels. En partenariat avec le cimentier VICAT, les travaux ont prouvé qu’il est possible de produire un ciment « recyclé » industriel aux propriétés usuelles en ajustant au besoin le procédé de fabrication ou en réduisant le taux d’incorporation. Un taux d’incorporation même limité permet de valoriser sans difficultés les déchets disponibles à l’échelle régionale d’une cimenterie en préservant ses ressources naturelles. Ces travaux offrent également de nouvelles perspectives quant à la valorisation d’autres matériaux en cimenterie et l’étude de leur réactivité
The European "SeRaMCo" project aims to manufacture precast concrete elements containing recycled aggregates and "recycled" cement. This cement is obtained by incorporating construction and demolition waste into its raw material, in particular the fine fraction which is the richest in hardened cement paste. This PhD thesis provided a better understanding of the impact of the chemical and mineralogical variability of recycled aggregates on the incorporation rate and on the proportion of other raw materials. Laboratory syntheses and associated characterizations allowed to follow the evolution of the mineralogy during the rise in temperature and for several types and rates of recycled aggregates. Tests, including transmission electron microscopy, have also shown that for a high rate of incorporation, the presence of quartz, feldspar and ceramic can affect the burnability of the cement raw meal and the reaction mechanisms. In partnership with the cement manufacturer VICAT, the work has shown that it is possible to produce an industrial "recycled" cement with usual properties by adjusting the manufacturing process as needed or by reducing the rate of incorporation. Even a limited incorporation rate allows to recover easily the waste available on a regional scale from a cement plant while preserving its natural resources. This work also offers new perspectives for the recovery of other materials in cement works and the study of their reactivity

Abstract:
AbstractLimestone calcined clay cement (LC3) is a new type of cement that contains Portland cement, calcined clay, and limestone. Compared with traditional cement clinker, LC3 reduces CO2 emissions by up to 40%, and is a promising technology for the cement industry to achieve its emission target. We used a numerical approach to predict the optimum composition of LC3 mortar. The experiments were performed using central composite rotational design under the response surface methodology. The method combined the design of mixtures and multi-response statistical optimization, in which the 28-day compressive strength was maximized while the CO2 emissions and materials cost were simultaneously minimized. The model with a nonsignificant lack of fit and a high coefficient of determination (R2) revealed a well fit and adequacy of the quadratic regression model to predict the performance of LC3 mixtures. An optimum LC3 mixture can be achieved with 43.4% general purpose cement, 34.16% calcined clay, 20.6% limestone and 1.94% gypsum.

Abstract:
The Moroccan cement industry is looking for new processes to effectively minimize the high energy costs associated to cement manufacturing. This work presents the effect of three types of limestone with different chemical compositions and different CaCO3 contents on the physical and mechanical properties of resulting composite cements by the addition of fly ash in the proportions by weight of: 5 % and 10 %. The samples are studied in order to evaluate the interaction between different types of limestone and fly ash. Ternary cements based on fly ash-limestone-clinker induce a significant prolongation of the setting time compared to binary cements based on limestone-clinker. The substitution of clinker by limestone induces an improvement in mechanical strength compared to ternary cements in the first days; at 28 days, cements prepared with fly ashes reach significant strength due to their pozzolanic reaction.

Abstract:
Supplementary cementitious materials are additives that are used to improve the qualities of Portland cement while also reducing its environmental impact. The production of such blended cements relies on the regional availability of additional components. Despite the prevalence of volcanic tuffs in the Eastern Desert and South Sinai encountered in Egypt, there is a scarcity of knowledge regarding experimental research on cement manufacture. The main objective of this study is to analyze the geochemical and experimental characteristics of several volcanic tuffaceous rocks exploited as natural additional cementitious materials and their impact on the characteristics of the resulting blended cement. The partially replacement can play an important role in reducing the local environmental impacts (CO2 emissions). Various volcanic rock specimens have been collected from the Sinai (Wadi Kid) and the Eastern Desert (Gabal Umm Zarabit, Wadi Umm Khariga, Gabal Igla El-Iswid, and Abu Wassat), Egypt. The samples under study were examined for their mineralogy, petrography, and chemical composition in order to identify their specifications. In addition, a total of fifteen blended cement samples were produced by partially replacing clinker with the investigated samples. The substitution ratios used were 10%, 20%, and 25% by mass. A control mix was also designed, consisting of ordinary Portland cement without any other substances. An assessment has been conducted on the effects of partially replacing clinker with volcanic rocks on the characteristics of the resulting blended cement. The physico-mechanical parameters, including Blaine, setting time, flexural strength, and compressive strength, of the hardened blended mortars were measured at specific times (7 and 28 days). The study demonstrated that the strength of the studied blended cement mixes decreased as the fraction of the examined volcanic rocks to clinker ratio increased throughout the early stages. The highest compressive strength among the mixtures evaluated was achieved when using a 10% ratio of volcanic rocks as clinker replacement.

Abstract:
Green building materials are gaining attention for achieving carbon neutrality in civil engineering. To reduce CO2 emissions from cement, using low-cement or cement-free materials with local supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is promising. Blended cements with SCMs enhance long-term strength, but low-clinker blends often have low early strength. To address this, understanding the hydration of ordinary Portland cement is crucial. While C3S has been studied, the role of C3A, the most reactive component of cement, has been explored less. This study aims to produce C3A in laboratory conditions, assessing the effects of calcination temperature and time on its composition and morphology. The C3A samples are prepared using the empirically computed amounts of CaCO3 and Al2O3. The proposed design aims to produce pure cubic C3A, with up to 3 wt.% of unreacted CaO and no mayenite C12A7 as side products. The results obtained demonstrated that the duration for which the maximum temperature is maintained before extracting the samples from the furnace is a crucial factor that exerts the most significant influence on the presence of mayenite in the C3A structure. The synthesized C3A will then be added into blends, and its impact on early strength will be evaluated. The findings from this study have the potential to provide valuable insights for designing and producing more environmentally friendly cements, with a specific focus on achieving superior early strength performance.

After cement production in Saudi Arabia surged in the first half of the 2010s due to the country’s rapid economic development, it has slowed measurably in recent years as economic growth has declined. This is shown in Figure 1, along with the evolution of the Kingdom’s real gross domestic income (RGDI). Still, it ranks among the top 10 countries for existing cement kiln capacity. The Saudi cement industry has relied on Arab Heavy crude oil, heavy fuel oil (HFO), and natural gas to produce clinker, a key cement ingredient.

Abstract:
All structures in Switzerland - that is, all buildings, roads, infrastructure constructions and so on - consume over their entire life cycle around 50 % of Switzerland's final energy requirement. They are also responsible for around 30 % of emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. In recent decades, the energy requirements and CO2 emissions resulting from the use of such structures have fallen sharply. However, the grey energy contained within the structures as well as the CO2 emissions associated with the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, remain high. There is great potential for improvement here. The joint project “Low energy concrete” provides an important basis for transforming the construction industry into a sustainable sector. It primarily focuses on the building material concrete, which is responsible for an especially high amount of grey energy and significant CO2 emissions. The results of this joint project are summarised and interpreted in this synthesis on “Sustainable Concrete Structures”. The chief objectives of the joint project were as follows: CO2 emissions and grey energy are reduced by drastically decreasing the amount of clinker in the cement. Grey energy is reduced by replacing reinforcing and prestressing steel in concrete structures with wood and plastic. The service life of the structures is extended by professional monitoring and adequate renovation measures; this reduces the average annual grey energy and CO2 emissions. The research work shows that the CO2 emissions caused by concrete and concrete structures can be reduced by a factor of 4, while the bound grey energy can be decreased by a factor of 3.
