Calcined Clays from mineral secondary raw materials

The aim of the research project is to investigate the suitability of previously largely unused mineral secondary raw materials from the stone and earth industry as a resource-conserving and climate-friendly main cement constituent. The use of cal-cined clays from secondary raw materials instead of conventional main cement constituents or high-quality primary clays can make an important contribution to the production of climate-friendly and resource-efficient cements.

 
Background and goals of the project 

In this research, previously unused mineral secondary raw materials are being investigated for their suitability as a resource-conserving and climate-friendly cement main constituent. Physical, chemical-mineralogical as well as cement- and concrete-technical investigations will be carried out to show that calcined clays can be produced from various mineral secondary raw materials in accordance with DIN EN 197-1 and developed to marketability.

Calcined clays produced from secondary mineral raw materials could make an important contribution to the ongoing transformation process of the cement industry, which aims to produce CO2-neutral cement by 2050. The use of calcined clays from secondary raw materials instead of conventional cement main constituents or high-quality primary clays can make an important contribution to making this transformation process not only climate-friendly, but also resource-efficient.

Interactions between siliceous fly ash or calcined clay as cement main constituent and superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate ether as well as their influences on rheological properties of fresh cement paste and fresh concrete

It was determined how the rheological properties and the consistency of fresh concrete can be improved by the adjustment of the type and proportion of fly ash or calcined clay in the cement to the clinker as well as the type and dosage of the superplasticizer.
