    Oral Presentation

    Reducing the clinker content in calcium aluminate cement (CAC) is crucial for improving environmental sustainability. This study investigates the partial replacement of CAC clinker with activated pumice to optimize setting time and mechanical strength. Experiments were conducted by gradually decreasing the clinker content and replacing it with varying proportions of activated pumice. The...

    Oral Presentation

    Specialty binders for premium drymix products commonly consist of a “ternary” blend of calcium aluminate, calcium sulfate and Portland cement. Target performance for each application is achieved by carefully tuning the relative proportions of these constituents together as well as the type & dosage of several set regulators. Simple substitution of CEM I by a blended Portland cement to lower...
