deposit to be used as a cementitious material with refractory properties, Chemically Bonded Anorthosite_x000D_
Cements. These structural cements could be produced with nearly zero-CO2 emissions associated with its_x000D_
production and exhibit chemical resistance to acidic and sulphate solutions. These potential properties and_x000D_
advantages of the novel cements will be thoroughly studied, verified and tested in simulated field conditions._x000D_
The research will focus on control of processing of the cements in order to achieve the desirable properties, and_x000D_
