Blast furnace slags were partially replaced by artificial and natural pozzolanic materials, such as pozzolan , fly ash and zeolite,to produce alkali activated slag cement(AASC).
Depending on the chemical composition the structural parameters of the melilite vary in the range between gehlenite and mernite.Melilitic separation and melilite as a primary phase are very rare.
This uses calcium extracted from slag (a traditional waste product) and combines it with CO2 captured from blast-furnace gas to make high-quality calcium carbonate, which the startup plans to sell as a food ingredient.
