Hydraulic slag mineral binder stoichiometry: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

High carbon footprints and poor bonding strength in traditional cementitious mortars increase project costs and environmental liability. These innovations engineer the integration of biochar and fly ash into hydraulic binders to stabilize the material microstructure and reduce embodied carbon.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Hydraulic slag mineral binder stoichiometry?

High carbon footprint binder

(24)evidences

Traditional cement production generates excessive CO2 emissions and relies on non-renewable raw materials. Reducing the environmental impact of binder stoichiometry allows for sustainable construction without compromising mechanical integrity.

Industrial byproduct chemical instability

(15)evidences

Inconsistent stoichiometry and reactive phase variability in ladle and blast furnace slags lead to unpredictable setting and structural failure. Standardizing the chemical reactivity of these waste streams allows for the replacement of carbon-intensive traditional binders.
