This paper evaluated the mechanical and microstructural behavior of a clayey soil stabilized
by an alkali-activated binder composed of two residues (sugarcane bagasse ash and …

Recent tailings dam failures have attracted special attention to the mining sector. These
incidents pressured the mining industry to develop more secure and sustainable practices …

Sustainability and the quest for a more robust construction material cannot be divorced from
each other. While Portland cement has revolutionized the construction sector, its …

This study evaluated the stabilization of iron ore tailings (IOTs) with an alkali-activated
binder (AAB) produced from sugar cane bagasse ash, hydrated eggshell lime, and sodium …

Waste stabilization processes are important to add value and reduce environmental risks
related to metal contamination of soils and groundwater. This study evaluated the metal …

The high volume of mining tailings generated imposes difficulties regarding the final
disposal of these materials, commonly requiring large structures for containment …

Disposal of mine tailings can cause negative environmental effects by releasing
contaminants to surface and underground water. Alkali activation is a promising technique …

Portland cement production is an energy-intensive process, and more sustainable
substitutes are needed, eg, alkali-activated binders originated from industrial wastes. Thus …

Searching for innovative solutions to produce alternative construction materials using
residues is a need to reduce the exploitation of natural resources. Alkali-activated cements …

Alkali-activated binders have been shown as a viable alternative do ordinary Portland
cement. However, the development of lower carbon emission activators for this process is …
