Advanced Cement Chemistry: Use of Alternative Raw Materials and Fuels

In this advanced seminar, you will look at the current challenges facing cement chemistry in terms of resource efficiency and climate neutrality. The focus will be on the use of alternative raw materials and fuels in clinker production. You will learn about the origin, composition and properties of these materials and understand their influence on the clinker burning process. You will also be introduced to modern methods of clinker analysis to assess the effect of alternative raw materials and fuels on cement properties. Finally, you will discuss the hydration behaviour of complex composite cements and quality assurance methods in a practical way.
