Calcined clay limestone cements (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Shashank Bishnoi

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to replace part of the clinker in cement is the most successful strategy to reduce CO2 emissions in the global cement industry. However, limited supplies of conventional SCMs make it difficult to take ...
