New polymorphous CaCO₃-based cementitious materials Part 2: Calera – a technology assessment

Quelle/Source: Beamish Museum

“Green cements” with the potential to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions are still in the focus of attention in the cement industry.

1 Introduction

Due to the high CO₂ emissons of conventional cement production currently a range of concepts for alternative “green cement” is investigated by engineers and researchers from within and outside the cement community. All of these approaches aim to partly reduce or even replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Due to the claimed potentials as well as the expectable effects it is the aim of the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) work to assess these approaches in how far they really can lead to mass construction materials and compete against OPC. This...

New calcium hydrosilicate-based cements: Celitement – a Technology Assessment

Green cements with the potential to significantly reduce CO 2 emissions are still in the focus of attention in the cement industry. This paper outlines the approach of Technology Assessment and the research design, gives a brief overview of the binder characteristics of Celitement technology (calcium hydrosilicates) and discusses ...
