Celitement
Celitement is a high-quality cement (hydraulic binder), which can be made via transparent process with low energy efficiency. It will require a low Carbon dioxide emission and low amount of raw materials. The product is marketable and can compete other types of cement and more importantly its sustainable, eco-friendly and can last for a very long time.
GmbH Celitement was made and found by Schwenk Group, some very high-tech German techniques was used in the making process like the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and a punch of scientists from KIT. The operation started back at 2011 with a pilot plant engineer. The plant sufficient supplies required testing the properties and the recipe and launching of the product on the …show more content…

The production of a single ton of Portland cement will produce about 870 kg of carbon dioxide emission. decarbonation of calcium carbonate(CaCO3) will produce 80% of carbon dioxide emission. In the other hand celitement causes 50% less carbon dioxide.
Figure 1. shows that Portland cement clinker is only made of the main mineral tricalcium silicate Alit (Ca3SiO5). The burning process of the raw material will produce carbon dioxide from calcium carbonate in three constructive parts. The product calcium oxide (CaO) reacts with SiO2 which is commonly known as Silicium dioxide which will react with tricalcium silicate Alit. The tricalcium silicate will react with water to form calcium-silicate-hydrate CSH and calcium hydroxide portlandite(Ca(OH)2). The mechanical strength will be gained from CSH
The normal Portland cement is made by the conventional common process does not allow the reduction process of carbon dioxide emissions. The amount of the calcium and high temperature starting from 1.450°C are crucially important. However, if the process failed the product will be …show more content…

Celitement is well suited for so many field applications due to its planned annual production volume. Applications for unique building materials such as modern high-quality mortars, concretes and other multi-component complex systems. For its practical application and safe function different additives must be used. Celitement found the best component partners from the industry of construction chemicals for the new binder. Some interaction mechanisms vary from the principles of classical cements since it’s a pure hydro-silicate calcium
Celitement can be used as an insulating aggregate, fibrous concrete, tile adhesive, solid component, mortar, plaster, pigmented concrete goods, high quality finishing part and finally as a white
