3. Implementation – Applications

The processes can be implemented with existing concrete manufacturing equipment. The equipment for storing and dosing Portland or aluminous cement is replaced by a tank and dosing pump for sodium hydroxide solution in the case of soda-lime-silica concretes. In the case of alkaline silicoaluminous concretes, a tank and dosing pump for sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate may be required.

Sodium aluminosilicate concrete formulations call for steaming.
