Recent tailings dam failures have attracted special attention to the mining sector. These
incidents pressured the mining industry to develop more secure and sustainable practices …

The extraction and processing of iron ore produce significant amounts of mine tailings,
causing environmental problems that require storage in reservoirs or dams. Using these …

This study evaluated the stabilization of iron ore tailings (IOTs) with an alkali-activated
binder (AAB) produced from sugar cane bagasse ash, hydrated eggshell lime, and sodium …

The high volume of mining tailings generated imposes difficulties regarding the final
disposal of these materials, commonly requiring large structures for containment …

Alkali-activated cements based on binary, ternary or admixture systems have allowed the
inclusion of various wastes and/or low value-added by-products as an alternative for their …

Cement stabilized rammed earth construction using calcium-based materials (eg, Portland
cement), has been done for decades. However, consumption of Portland cement has …

Iron ore tailings (IOT) are generated in large-scale around the world and are stored in its
slurry form generating risks of dam failure. The stabilization of this tailings by cementing …

Portland cement production is an energy-intensive process, and more sustainable
substitutes are needed, eg, alkali-activated binders originated from industrial wastes. Thus …

Searching for innovative solutions to produce alternative construction materials using
residues is a need to reduce the exploitation of natural resources. Alkali-activated cements …

Alkali-activated binders have been shown as a viable alternative do ordinary Portland
cement. However, the development of lower carbon emission activators for this process is …
