    Oral Presentation

    The hydration reaction and transformation behavior of a calcium aluminate cement (CAC) mixed with reactive calcium carbonate (Cc) were investigated at different temperatures. By introducing CO32- into the pore solution of the hydrating CAC through calcite dissolution, a promising way was investigated to avoid or limit the metastable hydrate phases (CAH10, C2AHx) that typically occur during the...

    Oral Presentation

    Mayenite based cements allow for reduction of the global warming potential of dry-mix recipes compared to typical ternary binder system. This is due to the fact that you can achieve the same early age properties with this technology at a lower total binder content of the recipe. Typically, these formulations are poor in Portland cement and calcium sulfates are added to maximize the early...

    Oral Presentation

    One of the widely accepted approaches to decarbonizing the cement sector is the partial replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), such as slag, limestone, fly ash. Previous studies have shown that slag helps to inhibit the conversion of calcium aluminate cement. Due to the problems with the availability and cost of slag, there is a need to investigate other...
