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

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are key components of sustainable, low
carbon cements. To maximize their use in blended cements, the impact of SCMs on cement …

To future-proof alkali-activation technology, there is a need to look beyond well-established
precursors such as fly ash and blast furnace slag, due to resource competition, geographical …

The cement industry is facing numerous challenges in the 21st century due to depleting
natural fuel resources, shortage of raw materials, exponentially increasing cement demand …

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermodynamic
modelling have been used to obtain Friedel's salt profiles for saturated mortar cylinders …

Progress in understanding the use of SCMs in blended Portland cement and related effects
is reviewed. An optimized use of cement components will avoid wasting unreacted particles …

Calcined clays are the only potential materials available in large quantities to meet the
requirements of eco-efficient cement-based materials by reducing the clinker content in …

Eight reference clay samples, 4 kaolinitic, 3 smectitic and 1 illitic clay, were purified and
thermally treated in order to determine their pozzolanic reactivity in cementitious materials …

Using alkali activation, un-calcined soils have potential as precursors for low carbon, low
cost, geopolymer-stabilised construction materials. This technology has been recently …

The use of clays as resource of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) for a new
generation of low-carbon cements and concretes is currently the subject of intense research …
