The use of boron minerals as an additive is important in terms of reducing CO emissions and providing input to the economy. Sustainable natural colemanite was subjected to calcination at 550 °C in order to concentrate the amount of BO. For the characterization of calcined mineral, XRD, TGA/DTA, and BO component tests were carried out.

- * PTWA was tested as a partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement in concrete by varying its ratio while keeping ground blast furnace slag constant, and a series of experiments analyzed both mineralogical properties and mechanical performance over time.
- * Results showed that while using PTWA reduced setting times of the concrete mixtures, it also led to decreased overall performance compared to standard mixes, suggesting a complicated relationship that could potentially benefit the environment when combined with other materials like GBFS.
