We have developed a breakthrough, next-generation biphasic clinkerization process for the synthesis and manufacture of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) using almost exclusively anthropogenic silicate oxide and calcium oxide (SOCO) waste streams (≥97.5%) as instreams instead of post-clinkerisation additives. This is called Total Green Cement.
Our process solution is founded on the recognition that a large proportion of SOCO based waste streams from chemical, mining and minerals industries possess mineral and oxide distributions and concentrations that afford the potential to be used as replacement instreams for the production of Ordinary Portland Cement. After performing a comprehensive review of existing SOCO waste streams from industry and their compositions, we have developed a novel process solution that could potentially revolutionise the cement manufacturing industry by removing the need for calcium carbonate and silica-based mineral mining as the predominant infeed for the process. Our process solution allows for the synthesis of Total Green Cement that is physically and chemically indistinguishable from Traditional OPC. Compared to Traditional OPC, Total Green Cement has a significantly reduced carbon footprint, by virtue of fact that limestone is not used as an infeed and the infeeds are all industrial waste streams that would have otherwise wound up in landfills.
The production of Total Green Cement is a highly profitable process, with profit margins that are 333-441% larger than Traditional OPC, while directly consuming industrial waste streams that pose environmental challenges! This effectively renders it a ‘negative-waste-discharge’ process. This is without accounting for the significant cost reductions that can be achieved through the use of rice husk as a fuel source for our novel biphasic clinkerization process!
All of the in-house research and development for the production of Total Green Cement has been completed and we are currently engaging with industrial partners to initialise piloting activities of this revolutionary activity.
