These binders may have quite variable compositions, but all of them contain Ye’elimite phase, also called Klein’s salt or tetracalcium trialuminate sulfate (C 4 A 3 S ) as the main phase [2]. They may also have minor amount of phases such as C 2 S, CA, C 4 AF, CS , CS H 2 [3], where C=CaO, S=SiO 2 , A=Al 2 O 3 , F=Fe 2 O 3 , S =SO 3 , M=MgO, T=TiO 2 and H=H 2 O. The mortar and concretes derived from these cements show high strength developments at early-ages [4] and could also be used for radioactive element encapsulation [5]. Another environmental strategy for reducing the negative impact of the cement industry is related with the reduction of the clinker content in concretes [6]. This is possible by the partial substitution of cement by supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) mainly from power stations or metal industry (fly ash, slag or silica fume). The environmental benefits of the use of waste materials are two folds: the clinker reduction will produce lower CO 2 emissions; and the valorization of an “useless” product. Furthermore, fly ash improves some properties of OPC mortars and concretes due to the pozzolanic reaction and its role as a micro-filler.
