An Update on Tec. Eco Technology An update on recent advances in Tec and An Update on Tec. Eco Technology An update on recent advances in Tec and Eco-Cements including the use of high proportions of flyash and SCMS with added reactive magnesia Reactive Magnesia is the most powerful new tool in cement chemistry 16/03/2018 www. tececo. com www. propubs. com 1

Tec. Eco Cements • Eco-Cements have relatively high proportions of magnesia which in permeable Tec. Eco Cements • Eco-Cements have relatively high proportions of magnesia which in permeable materials carbonates adding strength and durability. Eco-Cement formulations are generally used for bricks, blocks, pavers, pervious pavements and other permeable cement based products. See http: //www. tececo. com/products. eco-cement. php • Enviro-Cements are made using large quantities of reactive magnesia which reacts to form brucite. Brucite is unique to Tec. Eco Cements and is an ideal mineral for trapping toxic and hazardous wastes due to its layered structure, equilibrium p. H level, durability and low solubility. See http: //www. tececo. com/products. enviro-cement. php • Tec-Cements are cement blends that comprise of a hydraulic cement such as Portland cement mixed with a relatively small proportion of reactive magnesia and optionally pozzolans and/or supplementary cementitious materials which react with Portlandite removing it and making more cement or are activated by Portland cement. They offer a solution to many of the technical problems that plague traditional cement formulations caused by the reactivity of lime (Portlandite) and have significant advantages including faster setting even with a high proportion of non PC additions.

The Tec. Eco Tec-Kiln An obvious future requirement will be to make cements without The Tec. Eco Tec-Kiln An obvious future requirement will be to make cements without releases so Tec. Eco are developing a top secret kiln for low temperature calcination of alkali metal carbonates and the pyro processing and simultaneous grinding of other minerals such as clays. The Tec. Eco Tec-Kiln makes no releases and is an essential part of Tec. Eco's plan to sequester massive amounts of CO 2 as man made carbonate in the built environment. The Tec. Eco Tec-Kiln has the following features: • • • Operates in a closed system and therefore does not release CO 2 or other volatiles substances to the atmosphere Can be powered by various potentially cheaper non fossil sources of energy such as intermittent solar or wind energy. Grinds and calcines at the same time thereby running 25% to 30% more efficiently. Produces more precisely definable product. (Secret as disclosure would give away the design) The CO 2 produced can be sold or re-used in for example the N-Mg process. Cement made with the Tec-Kiln will be eligible for carbon offsets. To further develop the Tec-Kiln, Tec. Eco require not only additional funding but also partners able to provide expertise.

Tec. Eco Tec-Kiln, N-Mg route The calcination of nesquehonite has a relatively high enthalpy Tec. Eco Tec-Kiln, N-Mg route The calcination of nesquehonite has a relatively high enthalpy but there is significant scope for reducing energy using waste heat Initial weight loss below 1000 C consists almost entirely of water (1. 3 molecules per molecule of nesquehonite). Between 100 and 1500 C volatilization of further water is associated with a small loss of carbon dioxide (~3 -5 %). From 1500 C to 2500 C, the residual water content varies between 0 -6 and 0 -2 molecules per molecule of Mg. C 03. Above 3000 C, loss of carbon dioxide becomes appreciable and is virtually complete by 4200 C, leaving Mg. O with a small residual water content. Dell, R. M. and S. W. Weller (1959). "The Thermal Decomposition of Nesquehonite Mg. CO 3 3 H 20 And Magnesium Ammonium Carbonate Mg. CO 3 (NH 4)2 CO 3 4 H 2 O. " Trans Faraday Soc 55(10): 2203 - 2220. Energy could be saved using a two stage calcination process using waste energy for the first stage.

Tec. Eco-Cements are blends of one or more hydraulic cements and relatively high proportions Tec. Eco-Cements are blends of one or more hydraulic cements and relatively high proportions of reactive magnesia with or without pozzolans and supplementary cementitious additions. They will only carbonate in gas permeable substrates forming strong fibrous minerals. Water vapour and CO 2 must be available for carbonation to ensue. Eco-Cements can be used in a wide range of products from foamed concretes to bricks, blocks and pavers, mortars renders, grouts and pervious concretes such as our own permeacocrete. Somewhere in the vicinity of the Pareto proportion (80%) of conventional concretes could be replaced by Eco-Cement. Left: Recent Eco-Cement blocks made, transported and erected in a week.

Able to be sealed with paint etc as pre Some sealing paints will slow down carbonation carbonated According to ECN "The CO 2 concentration in power station flue gas ranges from about 4% (by volume)for natural gas fired combined cycle plants to about 14% for pulverised coal fired boilers. " At 10% the rate increase over atmospheric could be expected to be 10/. 038 = 263 times provided other kinetic barriers such as the delivery of water do not set in.

Excellent morphology. Nesquehonite has an ideal shape that contributes strength to the microstructure of a concrete Forms readily at moderate and high p. H in the presence of CSH. (Catalytic nucleation mechanism? ) Can be manufactured using the N-Mg Process Can be agglomerated Stable over a wide PT range (See Ferrini’s work) The hydration of PC => alkalinity dramatically increasing the CO 3 -- levels that are essential for carbonation.

CO 3· 3 H 2 O • Ideal wet dry conditions are easily and cheaply provided. Forced XRD Pattern Nesquehonite carbonation is not required (Cambridge uni and others) We have to ask ourselves why we are still digging holes in the ground. The industry would encounter far less bureaucratic blocking, make more money and go a long way towards solving global warming by manufacturing out of Mg, thin air and water its own inputs!

Economics of Magnesium Carbonate Binder Based Masonry Products What this embedded spreadsheet demonstrates is Economics of Magnesium Carbonate Binder Based Masonry Products What this embedded spreadsheet demonstrates is that Magnesium Carbonate Block formulations are uneconomic unless the price of reactive Mg. O approaches that of PC or there is a high price for carbon or alternatively less Mg. O can be used! Because of molar volume growth less can be used but we must still address supply chain issues.

O overcome its high cost and lack of a suitable market for carbon trading. • The use of Mg. O gives an ideal rheology which makes it possible to make permeacocrete pervious pavements using conventional road laying equipment therefore substantially reducing labour costs. • There are many other advantages of pervious pavements see http: //www. tececo. com/files/conf erence%20 presentations/Tec.

Tec-Cements • Tec-Cements (5 -20% Mg. O, 80 -95% OPC) – contain more Portland Tec-Cements • Tec-Cements (5 -20% Mg. O, 80 -95% OPC) – contain more Portland cement than reactive magnesia. Reactive magnesia hydrates in the same rate order as Portland cement forming Brucite which uses up excess water reducing the voids: paste ratio, increasing density and possibly raising the short term p. H. – Reactions with pozzolans are more affective. After much of the Portlandite has been consumed Brucite tends to control the long term p. H which is lower and due to it’s low solubility, mobility and reactivity results in greater durability. – Other benefits include improvements in density, strength and rheology, reduced permeability and shrinkage and the use of a wider range of aggregates many of which are potentially wastes without reaction problems.
