Pyroprocessing is an important stage in cement manufacturing. In this process, materials are subjected to high temperatures so asto cause a chemical or physical change. Its control improves efficiency in energy utilization ...

This paper reports leach and/or intake of SO42−, Cl−, Ca2+, Na+, and K+ from and/or into cement mortar cubes made from a novel cementious material in naturally encountered environmental simulated media. The paper also ...

Chloride-laden environments pose serious durability concerns in cement based materials. This paper presents the findings of chloride ingress in chemically activated calcined Clay-Ordinary Portland Cement blended mortars. ...

The durability of cement-based structures majorly depends on their resistivity to the aggressive media in the construction environment. The most aggressive ions commonly encountered in construction environment are chloride ...

Cement structures are major capital investments globally. However, exposure of cement-based materials to aggressive media such as chloride- and sulphate-laden environments such as coastal areas affects their performance. ...

The potential for calcined clay, and in particular Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3), to be used in concrete in Kenya was examined in this study. Locations of clay sources and existing mining infrastructure were examined ...
