Abstract Portland cement manufacture emits 5–7% CO 2, which is responsible for global
warming. Geopolymers minimize CO 2 emission and may be a partial alternative to Portland …

The development of low-carbon binders has been recognized as a means of reducing the
carbon footprint of the Portland cement industry, in response to growing global concerns …

The pore structure plays an important role in determining the performance of solid materials.
This paper reviews the studies about the pore structure of geopolymers, a rising kind of eco …

Geopolymers seem to be a good alternative to ordinary Portland cement to reduce the
carbon footprint of the construction industry. However, their durability over time is still a …

Chemically activated materials (often termed as geopolymer) have received attracting
attentions in civil, material and environmental research fields as a toolkit alternative to …

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 …

In order to follow the growing trend towards waste re-utilization and clean production,
geopolymers were synthesized to immobilize Pb 2+ and Zn 2+ by simultaneously using …

The aim of the present paper is to analyse the potential application of a solution used to
wash moulds from the aluminium casting industry as an alkali activator, for inclusion in the …

This study proposes the use of two types of coal fly-ash (CFA)(high-and low-calcium, HCFA
and LCFA respectively) as additives in silico-aluminophosphate (SAP) geopolymers for …

Geopolymer setting is seen to be substantially accelerated by addition of calcium and the
objective of this study was to determine the mechanism for this effect by examining …
