A method for producing a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) that includes providing a starting material containing dolomite and aluminium silicate, converting the starting material to the supplementary cementitious material by burning in the temperature range of >800 to 1100° C. or by burning in the temperature range of 725 to 950° C. in the presence of a mineralizer and cooling the supplementary cementitious material.

The present invention relates to water-soluble modified lignins preparable by enzymatic reaction of at least one water-insoluble lignin with at least one organic compound which possesses at least one group selected from primary or secondary amino group, hydroxyl group and phenyl group and has an average molecular weight in the range from 75 to 2500 g/mol. The water-soluble modified lignins are preparable under mild conditions in a simple process. They can be used as dispersants for mineral binder compositions, where they act as plasticizers and in so doing prolong the setting time to much less of an extent than the water-insoluble lignins used in their preparation.

The present invention relates to an inorganic binder system comprising blast furnace slag, and at least one solid alkali metal silicate, wherein the inorganic binder system is obtainable by co-grinding a mixture comprising the blast furnace slag and the at least one solid alkali metal silicate.

A method for manufacturing a binder of a hydratable material includes providing a starting material from one or more raw materials convertible by tempering at 600 to 1200° C. into the hydratable material and tempering the starting material to provide the hydratable material containing not more than 10% by weight monocalcium silicate and at least 15% by weight hydratable phases in the form of lime and dicalcium silicate. The residence time and the tempering temperature are adapted to obtain the hydratable material by converting not more than 80% by weight of the starting material, and the hydratable material is then cooled to provide the binder comprising the hydratable material. The binder can be mixed with water and optionally one or more of aggregate, additives, admixtures to obtain a binder paste that is placed, hydrated and carbonated to produce a building product.

A multi-component inorganic anchoring system, for chemical fastening of anchors and post-installed reinforcing bars in mineral substrates, includes a curable powdery aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B in an aqueous phase for initiating a curing process. Component A further includes calcium carbonate and component B includes an accelerator constituent and water. The calcium carbonate in component A has an average particle size in the range of from 0.5 to 150 μm. Methods can be utilized for using calcium carbonate having an average particle size in the range of from 0.5 to 150 μm in a multi-component inorganic anchoring system to increase load values. Methods can also be utilized for chemical fastening of anchors, such as metal anchors and post-installed reinforcing bars, in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete, or natural stone.
