Future technological options .2.

This is the second part of the paper. While the first part dealth with the basic concepts and the technologies involving natural raw materials, this part attempts to highlight the labscale successes of synthesizing reactive Belites at low temperatures through non-traditional approaches like sol-gel processing, hydrothermal treatment, etc. Further, the real value of the reactive Belite cements in terms of their durability and energy-saving potential has been examined. Finally, a picture of the future potential of this class of binder has been culled out.
