Methods and systems for producing activated silicate based materials using sustainable energy and materials

A system for producing activated silicate material comprising:

• a reaction chamber;
• a silicate material input in communication with the reaction chamber configured to provide a source of silicate material to the reaction chamber;
• a reforming agent input in communication with the reaction chamber configured to provide a source of reforming agent to the reaction chamber;
• a reaction medium input in communication with the reaction chamber configured to provide a reaction medium to the reaction chamber;
• at least one conduit positioned to communicate the silicate material, the reforming agent, and the reaction medium input to the reaction chamber;
• a heat source configured to provide heat to the system;
• an activated silicate material output from the reaction chamber;
• and
• a process module in communication with the source of the silicate material configured to initiate a non-silicate-activation process utilizing heat from molten slag.
