Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are alternative binders that can be used instead of
Portland cement in construction. One of the main drivers in their utilization is that AAMs can …

The low carbon footprint and superior properties of geopolymer make it a potentially suitable
alternative to ordinary Portland cement, which has been one of the dominating research …

This study examined the effect of silica fume contents on the rheological behavior of slag-fly
ash-silica fume-based geopolymer pastes by packing density measurement, low-field NMR …

Geopolymers are attracting attention as a new green cementitious material. However, the
severe early drying shrinkage deformation of geopolymers limits the use of geopolymer …

Coal gasification coarse slag (CGCS) is solid waste generated during coal gasification. The
mainly treatment method of CGCS is storage and landfill, which causes severe …

Sodium silicate-activated slag often gives high early strength but sets too rapidly.
Commercial retarders for Portland cement and partial replacement with other cementitious …

The effects of silica fume and sodium silicate-based activators (SFA and SSA, respectively)
with different Ms (SiO 2/Na 2 O) values on the setting behavior, rheological, mechanical, and …

To address the challenge of mitigating heavy metal pollution stemming from the utilization of
industrial solid wastes like copper tailings, this study focused on the development of copper …

The impact of calcium hydroxide as an additive in sodium hydroxide-and silicate-activated
metakaolin pastes is presented with a primary aim to ascertain the specific effects of calcium …

Sodium silicate powders with different SiO 2/Na 2 O (silica modulus) were characterized by
solubility rate, pH, and chemical structure (by 29 Si MAS-NMR) and compared in the …
