Various examples related to portland cement manufacturing using municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) ash are provided. In one example, a method includes providing a raw kiln feed including MSWI to a kiln, forming ash-amended clinker (ACK) by heating the raw kiln feed in the kiln, and preparing ash-amended cement (AAC) from the ACK. The MSWI bottom ash can make up about 5% by mass or less of the raw kiln feed. The ACK can have a chemical composition that meets ASTM C150/ASTM C595, and the AAC can include arsenic, barium, copper, and lead consistent with defined Soil Cleanup Target Levels. In another example, a system includes a kiln, a kiln feed system that supplies raw kiln feed including MSWI bottom ash to the kiln, and a finish mill that grinds ACK formed by heating the raw kiln feed in the kiln to form AAC.

The geosynthetic binder dry composition includes at least: an alkalino-calcium type activator including at least lime and an alkaline salt, which can suitably react together so as to form in situ a base in the presence of water, and a silico-aluminous compound, including an amount of calcium oxide higher than or equal to 15%, by weight, as compared to the silico-aluminous compound total weight, characterized in that the binder dry composition includes, by weight, as compared to the total weight, from 45 to 95% of the silico-aluminous compound, from 2 to 25% of lime and from 3 to 30% of an alkaline salt. The material including the geosynthetic binder dry composition and water, a method for producing the geosynthetic binder dry composition, and a method for producing the material are also described.

A raw meal and clinker are provided based on animal by-products, such as bone ash. The resulting cement contains clinker phases such as: tricalcium phosphate (TCP), calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA), calcium aluminate phases (CA, CA.sub.2, CA.sub.6, C.sub.12A.sub.7, among others), hydroxyapatite (HA), and minor phases (anhydrite, lime, among others).

A method for determination of the behavior of a reactive mixture intended for obtaining a geopolymer. The reactive mixture comprises at least one aluminosilicate material. The method includes determining a proportion of amorphous phase of the at least one aluminosilicate material and determining a degree of wettability of the at least one aluminosilicate material. If the proportion of amorphous phase is greater than 45% and if the degree of wettability is situated in a range between 300 g/l and 1400 g/l, then the reactive mixture, formed by the reaction of the at least one aluminosilicate material with an alkaline solution, forms a geopolymer.

The present invention relates to a binder composition comprising (i) a phospho-magnesium cement; (ii) a boron source; (iii) a lithium salt; and (iv) water and to its preparation method. The present invention also relates to the use of such a binder for confining wastes and notably nuclear wastes containing aluminum metal.
