Clay is used as a raw material for the production of lightweight aggregates because it is
readily processed into suitable granules and forms low-density but high strength aggregate …

The development of geopolymer building composites at a lower cost with a smaller carbon
footprint may lessen the growing concerns about global warming brought on by emissions of …

There is a growing concern on lightweight aggregates (LWA) for recycling of waste
materials: this manufacturing technology is considered a flexible tool to make it possible the …

In this research, the use of raw and calcined diatomite which is in amorphous and porous
nature was investigated in cement production. The physical, chemical, mineralogical, micro …

Diatomaceous earth has a low density and this makes the material useful in producing
lightweight aggregates. Therefore, this research was conducted to study the mechanical …

Washing aggregate sludge from a gravel pit, fly ash of the Aliaga thermal power plant
(Teruel, Spain) and used motor oil from cars have been physically, chemically and …

Smectite-rich claystone–marlstone samples from 12 outcrops located in the Southern Atlas
domain of Tunisia were investigated with regard to manufacture of lightweight aggregates …

Phosphate sludge generated from beneficiation plants of Moroccan phosphate rocks was
investigated at 900–1200° C by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermal …

This paper presents statistical models developed to study the influence of key mix design
parameters on the properties of lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) with …

The microstructures and mineralogical compositions of lightweight aggregates (LWAs)
manufactured with washing aggregate sludge (WS), fly ash (FA) and used motor oil (UMO) …
