The sensitivity of temperature on the decomposition/polymerisation of ground granulated
blast-furnace slag (GGBS) was investigated through the dissolution experiments at high …

This review comments on the ever expanding range of work using the XRF group of
techniques published approximately between April 2012 and March 2013. It presents …

Arsenic residue is of great concern due to its environmental hazard. In this study, we first
propose to use cullet as the host to immobilize sodium arsenate. All samples have …

An ensemble of ten silicate clusters is examined using quantum chemical calculations
(Density Functional Theory) as a potential model to study the effect of polymerization of the …

Biodeterioration of stained-glass windows by fungi was studied using historically accurate
glass production methods. Glass reproductions were made according to the chemical …

Historical glass-based objects undergo, since the time of their manufacture, different
degradation phenomena that are related to their composition and to the environment to …

Medieval glass is commonly attacked by atmospheric pollutants conveyed by water,
triggering the corrosion process. Current conservation strategies aim to maintain window …

Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) can be used as the hydraulic phase in alkali-
activated slag cement (AAS) or as partial replacement in blended cements, whose storage …

The introduction of silver ions into glass by diffusion from an external source is of interest in
modifying the optical and electrical properties of glass for device applications. Silver is …

Firing temperature is an essential indicator for the level of the manufacturing technology of
ancient ceramics. Current techniques for measuring the firing temperature of ceramics are …
