Alkali activation is a highly active and rapidly developing field of activity in the global
research and development community. Commercial-scale deployment of alkali-activated …

This paper reviews about geopolymers fundamental focusing in clay materials. The review
includes the chemistry and structure of geopolymers, reaction mechanism and prime …

Cement is the ubiquitous material upon which modern civilisation is built, providing long-
term strength, impermeability and durability for housing and infrastructure. The fundamental …

This review undertakes rigorous analysis of much of the copious literature available to the
scientific community on the use of alkali-activated binders (AABs) in construction. The …

A novel, cheap, and easy-to-synthesize sepiolite-based alkali-activated material (Sep-AAM),
synthesized by the reaction of a magnesium silicate source, sepiolite, with sodium silicate …

This paper evaluates the performance of steel furnace slag (SFS) coarse aggregate in
blended slag and low calcium fly ash geopolymer concrete (GPC). The geopolymer binder is …

The term “geopolymer” was introduced by Davidovits in the 1970s. The prefix “geo” was
selected to symbolize the constitutive relationship of the binders to geological materials …

Wet-kneaded silica–magnesia is a benchmark catalyst for the one-step ethanol-to-butadiene
Lebedev process. Magnesium silicates, formed during wet kneading, have been proposed …

Wet-kneading is a technique commonly used for the synthesis of SiO2–MgO catalysts for the
Lebedev ethanol-to-butadiene process, with catalyst performance known to depend heavily …

Electrical ferronickel slag (EFS), a Mg-rich slag from nickel-iron alloy production, is
conventionally recycled by blending it with Portland cement as mineral admixtures …
