Patent ID: 8580029

Claim:
A method of producing a concrete, comprising: preparing a mixture of an alkali hydroxide, a sodium silicate, a clay and a pozzolanic material; drying the mixture at a reduced temperature in comparison to the conventional method of making Portland cement clinker to form a dried powder mixture, wherein drying the mixture at the reduced temperature in comparison to the conventional method of making Portland cement clinker reduces an emission of carbon dioxide in comparison to the conventional method of making Portland cement clinker, reacting the dried powder mixture with water to form a cement paste; mixing the cement paste with at least one of a sand, an aggregate other than sand, a plasticizer and a nano additive to form the concrete, wherein the weight of the alkali hydroxide used to form the concrete ranges between 30 kilograms and 60 kilograms, wherein the weight of the sodium silicate used to form the concrete ranges between 100 kilograms and 150 kilograms, wherein the weight of the pozzolanic material and the clay used to form the concrete ranges between 350 kilograms and 400 kilograms, wherein the weight of the water used to form the concrete ranges between 60 kilograms and 400 kilograms, wherein the aggregate other than sand may be at least one of: a fine aggregate used to form the concrete having a weight ranging between 500 kilograms and 600 kilograms, and a coarse aggregate used to from the concrete having a weight ranging between 1200 kilograms and 1400 kilograms.
