The article presents data on the output of Vietnamese cement companies and their production. The country has 63 integrated cement plants with a combined annual design capacity of 121.7 Mt of dry-process cement. In 2024, Vietnam produced 77.73 Mt of clinker and 85.50 ...
The construction and cement industries are among the key sources of man-made greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, requiring a transition to low-carbon practices. Voluntary climate regulation instruments such as climate projects are currently gaining significant importance...
The production of blended cements has increased sharply in the United States: while their average share of total Portland cement production was only 1.8% between 2012 and 2019, it will approach 65% by 2025. Today, the most widely used of these binders is IL cement — ...
Transportation and supply chain management are the backbone of global commerce, yet their rapid growth has amplified emissions, pollution and resource depletion. This paper examines how emerging innovations and technologies can align economic growth with environmenta...
This article describes the history, technology, advantages, and applications of low-water- demand cements (LWDC), produced by co-grinding Portland cement clinker (or finished cement), mineral additives, and an organic plasticizer. This technical solution is in line ...
This article presents an overview of the modern technology regarding concrete admixtures and the current state of its development. It describes the main technologies as well as the gaps that exist in certain applications. Furthermore, it also highlights the benefits ...
This article presents information about the Clever A-17 energy-dispersive spectrometer from Thermo Techno Group. This benchtop instrument, which provides rapid and accurate identification of sodium and elements with higher atomic numbers, enables monitoring of the ch...
Calcined clays have been used as mineral additions in concrete for over decades. The product “metakaolin” is known to improve performance of concrete. However, this product is made of pure calcined clays, which are expensive. Recent developments have proven that lowe...
Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is a sustainable concrete system using alkali-activating aluminosilicate precursors (e. g., fly ash (FA), slag). AAC requires careful curing as its mechanical and durability properties are majorly affected by its curing conditions. Thi...
