The institute in the 1990s begun researching into Pozzolana cement, an alternative cement to the Portland cement for building. [5] Pozzolana cement cost less than Portland cement. In May, 2007, BRRI and PMC Global Incorporated of America signed a contract for the commercial production of Pozzolana. [5]
Natural pozzolana (volcanic ash) deposits situated in Southern California in the United States. Pozzolans are a broad class of siliceous and aluminous materials which, in themselves, possess little or no cementitious value but which will, in finely divided form and in the presence of water, react chemically with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2) at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing ...
"Ghacem" is same as "Ghana Cement", and does not have 97% market share anymore because Buipe plant has been built, and is not really a subsidiary of Scancem, because Scancem is owned by Heidelberg Cement, and has two plants in Ghana : one in Tema, which was upgraded in November 2012 from 1.2 million tons per year to 2.2 Mton/year, and one in ...
Pozzolana makes the concrete more resistant to salt water than modern-day concrete. [15] Pozzolanic mortar had a high content of alumina and silica . Research in 2023 found that lime clasts, previously considered a sign of poor aggregation technique, react with water seeping into any cracks.
Pozzolana from Mount Vesuvius volcano, Italy. Pozzolana or pozzuolana (/ ˌ p ɒ t s (w) ə ˈ l ɑː n ə / POT-s(w)ə-LAH-nə, Italian: [potts(w)oˈlaːna]), also known as pozzolanic ash (Latin: pulvis puteolanus), is a natural siliceous or siliceous-aluminous material which reacts with calcium hydroxide in the presence of water at room temperature (cf. pozzolanic reaction).
Note 1] Energetically modified cement's potential for contributing to a worldwide reduction of CO 2 has been externally recognised since 2002 and has been ongoing. [6] [7] [9] Recent recognition has included the 2019 Energy Transitions Commission (Lord Adair Turner and Lord Stern) report Mission Possible sectoral focus: cement (2019). [30]
It started production in 2002 with annual production of 700,000 tonnes of cement and was inaugurated by former President John Kufuor of Ghana in 2004. [1]The company in February 2014, completed a 2.5 km rail siding connecting it to the Togo Railway network, giving access to the port of Lomé, Togo, for easy delivering of clinker for cement production.
