Clay is a naturally occurring material that can be converted to different clay minerals through
thermal treatments, and can be used for the development of different products. Clays and …

Coal fly ash (CFA) is a type of solid waste produced in the process of coal combustion,
which is rich in silicon oxide, aluminum oxide and a small number of heavy metals and …

The preparation of geopolymer from alkaline solid waste instead of strong alkali presents the
disadvantage of low early strength. However, improving the early mechanical properties of …

In recent years, there has been growing interest in eco-friendly and sustainable construction
materials that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards …

Trillions of masonry fired-clay bricks are being produced globally every year, however, their
manufacturing process is far from eco-friendly. This work was designed to develop fly ash …

In this experimental work, the geopolymer blends were synthesized from metakaolin, fly ash,
and sugarcane bagasse ash based on their low cost and easy availability to improve the …

This paper presents the effect of alkali dosage on the mechanical properties and water
resistance of alkali-activated brick powder geopolymers (BPG) by measurements of …

In geopolymers, several factors such as the limited availability of amorphous aluminosilicate
material, the need for a high dosage of activator, the requirement for hot curing conditions …

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA) contains a large amount of heavy
metals, inhibiting resource utilization. This study used MSWIFA as an alkali activator and …

Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is an agricultural waste, and it is well recognized as
pozzolanic material after calcination. However, it's potential to be used as precursor in …
