Sustainable Cement Production Using Forest Biomass Ash: Insights into Alkaline Cements, Blended Cements and Hybrid Alkaline Cements

The search for and utilization of alternative precursors for the development of low-carbon binders has become a major research priority for both the scientific community and the construction industry. The future availability of the traditional aluminosilicate sources commonly use...

Hydration mechanisms of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cements: the role of barium carbonate in sulfate-carbonate balance

Abstract This study investigates the partial and total replacement of CaSO 4 by BaCO 3 in calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement systems through a systematic compositional series to examine the coupled effects of decreasing initial sulfate content, carbonate incorporation, and BaSO...
