The portfolio of available synchrotron radiation techniques is increasing notably for cements
and pastes. Furthermore, sometimes the terminology is confusing and an overall picture …

This study explores the potential utilization of phosphate washing sludge (PWS), a calcium
carbonate-rich by-product of phosphate mining, as an inorganic foaming agent in the …

This paper presents an integral parametrized framework to calculate the life-cycle inventory
(LCI) in lime-based construction materials manufacturing, utilized for implementing …

This study investigates the impact of nano-CaCO 3 and nano-SiO 2 on limestone calcined
clay cement (LC 3), focusing on its hydration kinetics and mechanical properties. Nano …

In this work, geopolymer foams were obtained by reacting metakaolin with phosphoric acid
and using natural calcite/dolomite as foaming agent. Total porosity and thermal conductivity …

Geopolymers from laterite, an iron-rich soil available in developing countries, have great
potential as building materials. In this work, laterite from Togo (Africa) was used to prepare …

The hot corrosion behavior and corrosion mechanism of cryo-rolled MP159 superalloy in a
salt mixture of 75% Na 2 SO 4+ 25% NaCl (wt%) at 800° C were investigated by using XRD …

Wood ash found at archaeological sites is the most direct evidence of the presence of
combustion features. The preservation of wood ash within archaeological deposits is often …

Magnesium oxysulfates (MOS), obtained by hydration of MgO in MgSO 4 solution, are highly
interesting as binders in lightweight building materials due to their environmental …

For the first time, this work inspects the accuracy of quantitative phase analysis of both
