The bulk of the cement industry's environmental burden is from the calcareous source.
Calcium is mostly available naturally as limestone (CaCO 3), where almost half of the mass …

Iron-rich alkali-activated materials (Fe-AAM) are considered potential alternatives to ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) to limit CO 2 emissions and convert several metallurgical wastes into …

Non-ferrous metallurgy slags are currently do not reach their full valorization potential. On a
global scale, these slags are landfilled or used in low-value applications. Upcycling these …

Belonging to the family of alternative cementitious materials, inorganic polymers are rising in
importance because of the drive to decrease CO2 emissions of concrete production. A …

The pursuit of low-CO 2 technologies has led to a surge in research on alternative
cementitious materials, of which alkali-activated materials are a large family. In recent years …

The use of biomass ashes as an alkaline activator in the synthesis of metakaolin-based
inorganic polymers was investigated in the present work. Maize stalk and maize cob ashes …

Two geopolymer binder systems made under alkaline and acidic conditions have been
evaluated for the stabilization of compressed lateritic earth bricks (CEBs) using natural …

The construction sector is responsible for significant CO 2 emissions, especially due to the
production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). One option to decrease CO 2 emissions is to …

The present work aims to evaluate the curing temperatures on the engineering and
structural properties of the compressed earth blocks (CEBs) produced using natural …

The microstructure of inorganic polymers (IP) formed from fayalite slag was investigated as a
function of the composition of different activating solutions. The starting slag was 80 wt …
