Aiming at reducing the environmental effects generated by the manufacturing of Portland
cement, the construction sector perceives significant potential in alkali-activated cements …

This paper investigates the effect of three different superplasticizers (SPs), Naphthalene (N),
Melamine (M) and Polycarboxylate (PC), on the properties of one-part fly ash/slag …

This study focused on the effects of curing conditions (standard and steam curing) on the
freeze–thaw resistance of geopolymer mortars containing Class C fly ash, Class F fly ash …

The main purpose of the work reported herein is to use kaolin to produce one-part alkali-
activated cement. Thermal activation was performed on kaolin in the presence of alkalis …

As known, calcium hydroxide Ca (OH) 2 is a basic material, that can be used in numerous
applications. Recently, many trials have been performed to modify some properties of alkali …

This article presents the effect of adding sodium hydroxide and calcium oxide on the
mechanical properties of a kaolin-based geopolymer binder cured at room temperature. A …

In the present study, the kaolinite clay was mixed with different amounts of granulated blast
furnace slag (GBFS) ranging from 0% to 30% by dry weight, and various experiments were …

One of the most used characterization techniques in the field of alkaline activated cements
studies is infrared spectroscopy. Its prominence lies in that it allows characterizing mixtures …

Lime is a widely used construction and building material. As an alkali activator, lime can
reduce costs, improve safety of on-site construction, and ensure environmental benefits. In …

Alkali-activated cement is a promising alternative to replace totally or partially Portland
cement. The heat flow and the degree of reaction are widely analyzed variables on the alkali …
