Abstract

This study addresses the challenges associated with the accumulation of technogenic waste in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We present the findings of global research on the utilization of blast furnace slag as a sustainable alternative to traditional cement binders. Our scientific investigation focuses on the laboratory exploration of replacing cement binders with a highly efficient clinkerless alternative based on blast furnace slag. The fundamentals of formulating clinkerless binders from slag were thoroughly examined for binder design. Through an extensive review, we conducted tests to identify an optimal composition, constrained within the ranges of 70-90% blast-furnace granulated slag, 14% lime, 1.5-2% gypsum, 1.5-2% C-3, and 2-25% microsilica. The outcome of these tests resulted in the development of a novel binder that combines the characteristics and properties of a lime-slag binder with the advantages of a low water consumption binder. This clinker-free binder presents a sustainable solution for construction, serving as a viable substitute for traditional cement. Our findings contribute to the ongoing efforts in adopting environmentally friendly practices in the construction industry.
