The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:
In Table 3, the current citation to reference [46] is incorrect, as the data presented originate from a different source. This error should be corrected by replacing reference [46] with the appropriate source. Likewise, in Tables 4 and 5, the correct reference should be added to acknowledge the source of the data. Additionally, the in-text citations referring to Tables 4 and 5 should be updated to ensure consistency between the textual discussion and the cited source. Finally, in the caption of Figure 4, the words “natural” and “from Australia” are misleading. These terms should be removed to accurately reflect the content of the presented images. The details of the corrections are as follows:
- (1)
- Replacing the caption of Figure 4 in “Section 5”:
Figure 4. SEM image of sample of natural chrysotile from Australia [30].
- with
Figure 4. SEM image of samples of chrysotile [30].
- (2)
- Replacing the reference citations in “Subsection 7.1”:
Increasing the scale of the trial reduced the energy consumption of the melting process by nearly half [43–45].
- with
Increasing the scale of the trial reduced the energy consumption of the melting process by nearly half [43–46].
- (3)
- Adding a reference citation in “Subsection 7.1”:
The obtained research results, presented in Table 3, showed that cements produced by melting chemically modified asbestos-cement boards (“Eternit” boards) contain significant amounts of tricalcium silicate in their phase composition.
- Correction:
The obtained research results [47], presented in Table 3, showed that cements produced by melting chemically modified asbestos-cement boards (“Eternit” boards) contain significant amounts of tricalcium silicate in their phase composition.
- (4)
- Adding a reference citation in “Subsection 7.1”:
The test results showed that the concrete containing the binder derived from melted asbestos cement has practically the same physicochemical properties as the concrete made with Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R. Additionally, compressive and flexural strengths were also tested.

- (5)
- Correcting the reference citation in the caption of Table 3:
Table 3. Chemical and phase composition of melting products of the tested mixtures [46].
- Correction:
Table 3. Chemical and phase composition of melting products of the tested mixtures [47].
- (6)
- Adding a reference citation in the caption of Table 4:
Table 4. Physicochemical properties of “asbestos cements” and reference cement.
- Correction:
Table 4. Physicochemical properties of “asbestos cements” and reference cement [47].
- (7)
- Adding a reference citation in the caption of Table 5:
Table 5. Mechanical properties of ‘asbestos cements’ and reference cement.
- Correction:
Table 5. Mechanical properties of ‘asbestos cements’ and reference cement [47].
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
