This new paper investigates the durability of cement containing internal sulfides coming from tailings. What happens when wet–dry cycles — typically used to accelerate external sulfate attack — are applied to mortars and pastes containing pyritic materials?

Assessment of internal sulfate attack in cement partially replaced with pyritic materials using wet–dry cycles - Materials and Structures
When used in cement-based materials, sulfidic minerals such as pyrite may oxidize in the long term and their oxidation products may react with the cementitious matrix. This long-term instability of su...

We recently discovered that Mg-silicate slags can be modified into reactive raw materials for mineral carbonation by the formation of akermanite.

This is only the first paper opening up a wide range of new possibilities in the carbonation work at @vito-research.bsky.social

And just this week, we published a deeper investigation of the clinkering process, including raw meal optimization using pyroxene-rich residues (mine tailings, FeNi slag), and a commercial serpentine-rich sand as raw materials for this new akermanitic carbonatable clinker
