It is well-known that enzymes are molecules particularly susceptible to pH and temperature
variations. Immobilization techniques may overcome this weakness besides improving the …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a sustainable substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC)
concrete in the construction field. It makes use of materials abundant in alumina and silica …

As an environmentally friendly material, geopolymers are demanded to have good
mechanical and fracture strength. Therefore, this research studied the mechanical properties …

Rice husk ash (RHA) is a widely discarded agricultural by-product, leading to environmental
and health concerns due to its low density. In this study, we employed a hydrothermal …

This paper investigates the microstructural, chemical, and radiation shielding characteristics
of rice husk ash-based self-compacting concrete (RHA-SCC) and its precursors–rice husk …

Ceramic waste (CW) has a significant negative environmental influence on the society.
However, CW may benefit the environment if it is handled carefully and recycled in concrete …

Sodium silicate activators derived from silica-rich wastes have attracted increasing attention
owing to their promotion on the sustainable production and development of alkali-activated …

This study investigates how different sodium silicate SiO2/Na2O MS ratios (0.75, 0.9, and
1.2) affect the hydration behavior of amorphous wollastonitic hydraulic (AWH) binders …

The use of lime as a binder in hemp–lime considerably increases the drying time of hemp–
lime after casting. Furthermore, lime is a non-renewable mineral resource. As such, this …

The use of geopolymers has revolutionized research in the field of construction. Although
their carbon footprint is often lower than that of traditional mortars with Portland cement …
