Abstract
A possible solution to decrease the CO2 footprint caused by the cement industry and to enhance the transition to circular economy is to use slags as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM). The study presented here focuses on valorizing and investigating the reactivity and mechanical properties of blended binder systems combining Modified Iron Silicate (MFS) slag and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). MFS slag is a fumed by-product synthesized during the production of Copper (Cu) metal. This slag can be used as possible alternative SCM due to its pozzolanic behaviour. To study the replacement level in relation to reactivity and strength development, replacement levels of 15, 30 and 50 wt% of MFS-slag in ordinary portland cement are analyzed. The work can be divided into two categories: 1) assessing the reactivity through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and 2) evaluating the compressive strength (as a function of time) of mortar with MFS-slag after 2, 7, 28 and 90 days. TGA at 7, 15, 28 and 90 days allows to determine the reduction of portlandite content which gives an indication on the pozzolanic reactivity. Reactivity of MFS-slag blended systems is also determined relative to inert filler blended systems to discern between the reactive behavior of the MFS-slag and the filler effect.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
