Traditional construction materials such as cement products release a significant amount of
carbon dioxide during their preparation and usage, negatively impacting on the …

Geopolymers have been intensively explored over the past several decades and considered
as green materials and may be synthesised from natural sources and wastes. Global …

The utilization of industrial waste by-products including blast furnace slag (BFS) for
geopolymer (GP) production gained considerable attention in recent years. Yet, the …

In terms of sustainability, alternative binders have been sought despite the environmental
effects of CO 2 gas released as a result of cement production. In accordance with this …

Geopolymers have attracted considerable attention recently due to their promising
environmental and economic benefits. This study used alkali activation to create an …

The paper presents the combined effect of pozzolan, as an alkaline volcanic rock, and
perlite, as an acidic volcanic rock, in the synthesis of geopolymers. The perlite proportion …

In this study, the use of residues from the processing of bauxite and glass powder as
precursors for the preparation of geopolymers was evaluated. The route used was an …

In this study, a novel biobased treated kaolin clay incorporated with zerovalent nickel (TKC-
Ni0NPs) was fabricated and employed as an efficient functionalized adsorbent for the …

Natural diatomite, an amorphous siliceous rock, was used as a source of silica for the
synthesis of a silicate gel to replace commercial sodium silicate gel in the synthesis of …

Portland cement is the primary material in the field of construction. Despite its importance, its
production remains an energy-consuming and polluting operation. Research on alternatives …
