AN EXTRAORDINARY ECO-CEMENT History repeats itself: “pozzolanic� cement made Rome and its empire great, it allowed the construction of aqueduct, roads and large buildings which are still among us after 2000 years. A practical, efficient and resistant material, cement was the basis upon which the arts and science were born, which shaped antiquity and built our great history and society. Now as then, and after some industrial revolutions, the science of materials has not finished surprising us and has a new technological leap in store for us that will evolve the industrial world towards new and important objectives. The first is an ecological one, understood as energy saving and reduction of polluting emissions that produce the greenhouse effect. This is followed by the quality of a material that does not deteriorate over time, to avoid situations such as the "Morandi" bridge which, due to the porosity of the concrete, allowed moisture to penetrate and weaken the steel of the reinforcement with catastrophic consequences. This new cement is made with specific and different minerals that are much more widespread and not exploited for now, thus allowing us to avoid the high costs of raw materials subject to international monopolies. It is interesting to know that the cement factory for this new material can be small, almost "pocket-sized" as the cooking oven needs not reach the 1700 degrees required in the normal large ovens with refractory walls and very high consumption but ... it only requires 500 degrees Celsius (the temperature for cooking a pizza) a technology therefore of lower cost and minimum consumption and consequently less pollution. It is therefore possible to manufacture ovens for only 250 tons of material a day in almost any place in the world. This does not only have a theoretical or academic importance, but it allows us to reconsider the logistics that lead to concrete, from the transport of cement (sensitive to humidity) or to bagging. For example, the cement factory could be positioned near a dam construction, and raw minerals at various levels of pulverization would travel in bulk, with a lower transportation cost. The cost of all this? Incredible but true: this super-cement costs much less than the classic "Portland", exceeding it in all its technical and chemical characteristics. Furthermore, the price will decrease further, with increased production in multiple cement factories.
