To sustain the decarbonization of the cement industry, identifying new sources of
supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is crucial. This review paper examines recent …

Natural resources depletion is gradually becoming a critical burden on the environmental
and ecological balance, pushing the development of artificial aggregates forward. In order to …

The utilization of industrial waste as an aluminosilicate precursor (AP) for alkali-activated
material (AAM) production can provide an outlet for the growing waste stream and relief to …

Copper slag, a byproduct of the production of copper metal, is difficult to be reused as
supplementary cementitious material in the ordinary Portland cement due to the low content …

Pelletization is currently the most-widely adopted method for the production of artificial
geopolymer aggregates (GPA). However, as a newly-developed technology, there is still …

This study developed ultra-high performance fly ash composite (UHPFC) by enhancing the
pozzolanic reactivity of low-calcium fly ash (FA). Although it did not include Portland cement …

Clinker hydration at later age in blended cement pastes was found to be retarded by the
pozzolanic reaction of low-calcium supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Various …

Reactive amorphous aluminum silicates dominate the reactivity of fly ash in alkali cement;
however, the quantitative characterization of valid chemical compositions and structures …

The increasing shortage of conventional supplementary cementitious materials, including fly
ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), further obliterates the …

It is well understood that the reactive components of fly ash (FA) in alkali cement are mainly
donated by amorphous phases. The acidolysis method is typically employed to dissolve …
