Oral Presentation

Calcium aluminate cements (CACs) are well known for their rapid setting characteristics and refractory performance, owing to their significant early strength gain and excellent thermal stability. The properties of CACs vary based on their alumina content. Global demand for CACs has shown consistent growth in recent years. However, this projected rise in production is likely to intensify the...

Oral Presentation

Addressing the significant CO₂ emissions from calcium aluminate cement (CAC) production is a critical challenge for the building and infrastructure sectors, with fossil fuels accounting for a large portion of the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint. To tackle this, we initiated the PRECIZE project, a strategic collaboration with Air Liquide, LGC, and CEMHTI. Funded by the French state as part of...
