This paper compares three methods for activation of OPC-slag mortars (OSM): (1) prolonged grinding of binders (mechanical method), (2) elevated temperature curing of mortars (thermal method), and (3) use of chemical activators such as NaOH, KOH, and Na2SiO3, 9.35H2O (chemical method). The proper rea...
