As global warming has had harmful effects on the environment, the construction industry has made efforts to reduce the amount of $CO_2$ generated in the process of cement production. There is an urgent need for an alternative material that can replace cement. To improve the initial strength and economical efficiency pointed out as problems, this research was conducted for Blast Furnace Slag (BFS), an industrial byproduct. Non-sintering cement (NSC) was used by minimizing the amount of high-priced alkali activators. By using Nano-technology, fineness has been maximized, to enhance the initial strength of BFS. This research is based on non-sintered cement replaced by nano-slag using alkali activators, and the fundamental properties and quality of the non-sintered cement were investigated. A variety of activators were used, up to 10 percent of the slag weight. This research aims to present fundamental data through a comparative analysis of flexural strength, compressive strength, time of setting, diabetic temperature, and rising heat.

In the concrete industry, efforts are being made to reduce CO₂ emissions, and technologies that collect, store, and utilize CO₂ have recently been studied. This study analyzed the change in compressive strength after the accelerated carbonation test of Non-Sintered Cement(NSC) mortar. Type C Fly Ash and Type F Fly Ash were mixed in a 1:1 ratio and then mixed with Blast Furnace Slag fine powder to produce NSC. The mortar produced was cured underwater until the target age. In addition, an accelerated carbonation test was conducted under the condition of a concentration of 5 (±1.0%) of CO₂ gas for 14 days. The mortar compressive strength was measured before and after 14 days of accelerated carbonation test based on the 7th and 28th days of age. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength was improved in all binder. In general, the compressive strength of NSC mortar subjected to the accelerated carbonation test was similar to that of Ordinary Portland Cement(OPC) mortar not subjected to the accelerated carbonation test.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the development of non-sintered binder to reduce CO2 emissions from the cement clinker manufacturing process and a number of studies have been conducted on fly ashes as an industrial by-product. However, in order to utilize fly ashes as a non-sintered binder, it is necessary to solve problems such as safety issues and economical efficiency due to use of an alkali activator. This study evaluates the material properties and compressive strength characteristics of three types of circulating fluidized bed boiler ashes. As a result, it was confirmed that the characteristics of each binder vary depending on the location of the power plant and the types of raw materials. In addition, it has been confirmed that the fluidized bed boiler ash shows a high compressive strength and can be used sufficiently as an non-sintered binder.

In this study, ultrasonic pulse velocity is compared on non-sintered hwangto concrete(NHTC) and normal concrete(NC) at ages. Strength of specimens set up 30MPa. Cement is replaced with 15 and 30% non-sintered hwangto. UPV is tested at 1, 3, 7, 28, 56, 91 days. As a result, UPV increases as the age and strength increase, but decreases as the non-sintered hwangto replacement increases. Although ultrasonic pulse velocity of NHTC was 72% lower than NC, after that, difference tends to decrease

In this study, the compressive strength development was analyzed at early ages of concrete specimens admixed with non-sintered hwangto to reduce the CO₂ emissions generated during cement production. The W/B of the specimens was set at 0.41, the percentage of non-sintered hwangto admixture was set at three levels of 15, 30, and 45%, and the compressive strength were measured at 1, 3, 7, and 28 days. The results showed that the compressive strength decreases as the percentage of non-sintered hwangto increases, but the strength development rate increases, and the NHTC41-15 test specimen developed a compressive strength close to NC41 at 28 days.

Entering the 20th century since the industrial revolution, the cement has been widely used in the field of construction and civil engineering due to the remarkable development of construction industry. However, result from that development, each kind of industrial by-products and waste and the carbon dioxide generated in the process of cement production cause air pollution and environmental damage so earth is getting sick now slowly. Therefore, we have to recognize importance about this. It means that the time taking specific and long-term measures have come. In this research paper, as substitution of the cement generating environmental pollution, we investigate the hydration reaction of non-Sintered Cement mortar mixed with GBFS, active stimulant of alkaline and sulphate series by using SEM and XRD, mechanical and chemical properties according to the curing method. As a result of this experiment, NSC realized outstanding strength for water curing and steam curing. It means that it has a good possibility as substitution of cement. From now on, it can be used for structure satisfying specific standard. We expect to find a substitution of outstanding cement by progressing continuous research making the best use of pros and cons according to the curing method.

It was found that there was no problem in recycling by-products (waste rock and tailings) from Yangyang iron mine themselves through matter conversion because they are not hazardous according to results of KSLT method. In case of using tailings as sub-materials of cement, it recommended the use of less than 3% tailings dosage not to exceed 0.6% of total alkali ($R_2O$) content based on standard quality of portland cement (KS L 5201). Non sintered eco-brick corresponding to class 1 quality of recycled clay brick (KS I 3013) can replace 15% of cement with tailings and 100% of general fine aggregate with waste rock from iron mine. As mentioned above, recycling the by-products (waste rock and tailings) as sub-materials of cement and non sintered eco-brick could gain both environmental and economic benefits, that is, reduction of scale and maintenance cost of tailing ponds, decrease of energy use and $CO_2$ emission.

In this study, the mechanical properties of concrete mixed with non-sintered hwangto(NHT) as an alternate material for cement were evaluated, and the compressive strength prediction equation of concrete based on ultrasonic pulse velocity analysis was proposed. Cement replacement rates for mixed NHT were set to 0, 15, and 30%, and design compressive strength was set to 30 and 45MPa to evaluate the effect on the amount of cement and NHT powder. The mechanical properties items analyzed were compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and elastic modulus, and were measured on days 1, 3, 7, and 28. As the replacement rate of NHT increased, the mechanical properties tended to decrease. In addition, as a result of analyzing the correlation between compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity, the correlation coefficient(R²) showed a high relationship(R²=0.95) on concrete mixed with NHT.
