Abstract:
The research paper offers a detailed analysis of the current trends and developments in new cement production methods to promote sustainable construction materials. The study examines three key areas: Eco-cement, Steel slag concrete, and Municipal slag concrete. Eco-cement involves using waste materials and reducing energy consumption during cement production to conserve natural resources. Steel slag concrete uses steel slag as a binder, including steel slag mixed with fly ash, steel slag with a hydrated matrix, and steelmaking slag with a carbonated matrix. Municipal slag concrete uses ground granulated melt-solidified slag derived from municipal solid waste or sewage sludge as a binder. The research paper aims to focus on contemporary trends and advancements in new cement production for the sustainability of construction materials.
