The article summarizes the main indicators of the cement industry in the Republic of Korea. In 2022, the country produced 51.1 Mt of cement, 1.2% more than in 2021. The annual per capita consumption of this material remained very high and fairly stable at an average...

New requirements of the RF legislation on the use of secondary resources and raw materials in cement production

The legislation of the Russian Federation for the last few years has been pursuing the goal of the Federal Law No. 89-FZ dated June 24, 1998 “On production and consumption wastes”, i.e. involvement of wastes into economic circulation. One of the first areas in the cemen...

Greening cement production: alternative fuels in the cement industry

In the face of escalating concerns regarding climate change and environmental impact, the cement industry is actively exploring and implementing the use of alternative fuels to revolutionise its production processes. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the...

LC3 cement containing limestone and calcined clay and its prospects for Russia

The strategy of substituting clinker by supplementary cementitious materials, SCM appears to be the shortest and less capital-intensive path to sustainability. Introducing calcined clays as SCMs in the Russian cement industry will facilitate the production of cements th...

The influence of active mineral additives on properties of concrete for 3DСP

The purpose of the study is to develop cement fine-grained concrete modified with active mineral additives for 3D concrete printing (3DCP) with optimal rheotechnological properties of raw mixtures and physical and technical characteristics of hardened composites...

Cement-free binders based on combined acid and high-basic fly ash and the problem of free CaO

The mixture of high- and low-calcium types of fly ash and activator, sodium carbonate, can serve as a low-grade clinker-free binder gaged with water. In the alkaline environment created as a result of interaction of binder components and water, the hydraulic and pozzola...

Properties of geopolymer cement based on thermally activated clays

The article examines the effect of thermally activated clays on the properties of Portland cement. It is shown that thermally activated clays can replace up to 25 % of Portland cement clinker without loss of strength and cement quality, which will reduce carbon diox...

Composite cement with dispersed perlite and colloidal additive for hydraulic concrete

The article considers the possibility of obtaining composite cement for hydraulic engineering using finely dispersed aluminosilicate rocks - perlites, a colloidal additive in the form of silica sol and a superplasticizer to increase the crack resistance of hydraulic con...

Influence of iron-containing components in facade coatings on their ability to self-cleaning

The article examines the effect of iron oxide additives on the self-cleaning ability of mineral façade materials. Two components of self-purification are considered: the decomposition of organic pollutants upon irradiation with light in the presence of a photocatalyst a...
