This paper is a bibliographic tool reviewing experimental and theoretical studies related to
cement hydration and microstructure development that have been published within the four …

In this study, thermal energy storage cement-based composite (TESC) was developed by
incorporating paraffin/diatomite (DP) composite phase change material (PCM). Paraffin/DP …

In this study, a paraffin/diatomite/MWCNTs (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) composite PCM
(phase change material) was tailor-made for further applications in producing thermal …

Replacing Portland cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) reduces the
high environmental impacts of cement production. However, in western US, such reduction …

This study aimed to assess the influence of grinding on improving the pozzolanic activity of a
low porosity diatomite. To that end, three diatomites were produced, with 50% passing …

Background Currently, the rising demand for green chemistry and sustainable development
encourages the creation and use of eco-friendly resources (industrial and agricultural …

The presented research is focused on the complex assessment of three different types of
diatomaceous earth and evaluation of their ability for application as pozzolana active …

Ladle slag, currently an under-utilized crystalline metallurgical residue, was studied for use
as a precursor for alkali activation. An activating solution containing sodium silicate and …

The present study deals with the formulation of new cementitious materials via the alkaline
activation of an industrial by-product (blast furnace slag) or a natural rock (diatomite) in the …

Products of porous bricks from low grade diatomite and sugar filter mud (SFM) in different
proportion between 0 and 30 wt% were fabricated at sintering temperatures ranging from …
