Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are alternative binders that can be used instead of
Portland cement in construction. One of the main drivers in their utilization is that AAMs can …

Circular economy (CE) practices pave the way for the construction sector to become less
material-and carbon-intensive. However, for CE quantification by climate mitigation models …

This paper deals with the synthesis and thermal stability of one-part metakaolin geopolymer
composites containing high volume of spodumene tailings (Quartz Feldspar Sand; QFS) and …
