A new insight upon the use of weathered basalt as alternative raw material in Portland clinker production
Weathered basalt (WB) is a useless and costless material with a negative environmental impact.The use of WB to replace clay in Portland clinker manufacturing is a successful strategy to enhance clinker quality, cost and reduce environmental impact.In this study, four mixes were prepared by replacing clay with 25, 50, 75 and 100 wt% of WB (M1-M4, re
