Alkali-activated binders (AAB) have been extensively researched as a potential replacement
of ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete to minimize carbon emissions released during …

The broad utilization of concrete results in significant carbon dioxide emissions (CO 2) and
depletion of natural resources due to substantial increase in cement production. Fly ash, the …

The world's population is growing at a rapid pace, thus increasing the need for shelter,
which, because of increased carbon emissions, is making our planet less habitable. Thus …

Landfilling and open burning of biomass wastes lead to adverse environmental impacts. A
potential means to valorize such wastes can be achieved through thermal conversion to …

Abstract Changes in coal-fired power technology have recently been introduced, influencing
emissions and efficiency, which may affect fly ash. Similarly, shortages of low lime fly ash …

The aim of this work was to study the influence of the type of activator on the formulation of
modified fly ash based geopolymer mortars. Geopolymer and alkali-activated materials …

Co-fired fly ash, derived from the co-combustion of coal and biomass, is examined as a
potential precursor for geopolymers. Compared to a coal fly ash, two co-fired fly ashes have …

Global promotion of decarbonisation by using sustainable bio-renewables is associated with
generation of ash residues whose amounts have increased exponentially in the last …

Although the disposal of waste ashes causes environmental hazards, recycling them helps
in reducing their harmful impacts and improves the characteristics of building materials. The …

Concrete is the most used material on Earth except for water. Thus, there is much to be
gained through improvements in the manufacturing of cement and the production of …
