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 …

In this study we carry out a detailed environmental evaluation of geopolymer concrete
production using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology. The literature shows that the …

The paper presents a rational mix design methodology to produce fly ash and ground
granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) based geopolymer concrete under ambient …

Eight to 10 percent of the world's total CO 2 emissions come from manufacturing cement.
The global warming gas is released when limestone and clays are crushed and heated to …

Nowadays, an exigency has gone through the roof for cementitious material. Unfortunately,
the present process of production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is found associated …

The potential position of and drivers for inorganic polymers (“geopolymers”) as an element
of the push for a sustainable concrete industry are discussed. These materials are alkali …

This work investigates the recycling potential of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle
wastes as natural sand substitute in geopolymer (GP) mixtures to reduce plastic pollution …

The quantities of waste rocks and tailings generated by the mining industry have been
increased in the last decades. The accumulation and the surface storage of these mine …

The interfacial characteristics of geopolymer binder to aggregate composites are poorly
understood, especially at molecular level. Herein, molecular models are developed to study …

The mining industry produces a huge quantity of sulphidic mine tailings, which cause
several short-and long-term environmental problems when disposed by landfilling in …
