A method for converting a starting material containing at least 40 wt.-% of calcium silicon (hydr)oxide phases and calcium aluminum (hydr)oxide phases into an SiO2 rich SCM and a calcium carbonate additive includes the steps: providing the starting material with a Dof ≤1 mm, mixing the starting material with water or adjusting the water content to provide a starting material slurry having a solid:liquid weight ratio from 2:1 to 1:100, passing the starting material slurry together with carbon dioxide into a gravity separation reactor, subjecting the starting material slurry and carbon dioxide to centrifugal motion inside the reactor, and removing a heavy slurry from a first outlet of the reactor, removing a light slurry of lower density particles from a second outlet of the reactor, and removing liquid at a third outlet of the reactor.

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&#xb0; C. into the hydratable material, 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, wherein 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 cooling the hydratable material 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.

Method for manufacturing binders hardening by hydration and carbonation

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&#xb0; 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.
