Details
Executive Summary : | Objective: To look for the alternate of Portland cement, where CO2 emission can be reduced. Here Calcium sulfo aluminate cement is an option to develop alternate low lime clinker to substitute Portland cement to reduce CO2 emission Summary: Many thought processes are being considered to look for the alternate of Portland cement, where CO2 emission can be reduced. Here Calcium sulfo aluminate cement is an option to develop alternate low lime clinker to substitute Portland cement to reduce CO2 emission. Calcium sulfo-aluminate is a compound having the similar cementing property and characteristics like hydraulic cement alternate to Portland cement, which can be prepared with low lime content and less emission of CO2. |
