Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are recognized as potential alternatives to ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) in order to limit CO 2 emissions as well as beneficiate several wastes into …

This paper, which forms part of the UNEP White Papers series on Eco-Efficient Cements,
provides a brief discussion of the class of cementing materials known as 'alkali-activated …

Porous geopolymers have emerged as one of the most promising inorganic porous
materials over the last decade, due to their inexpensive and easy fabrication process …

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 development of sustainable construction and building materials with reduced
environmental footprint in both manufacturing and operational phases of the material …

This paper reviews about geopolymers fundamental focusing in clay materials. The review
includes the chemistry and structure of geopolymers, reaction mechanism and prime …

This article assesses the state-of-the-art for research on one-part alkali-activated materials,
with particular emphasis on recent work dealing with the constituent materials, preparation …

If formulated optimally, geopolymer cement made from fly ash, metallurgical slags and
natural pozzolans could reduce by 80% the CO2 emissions associated with the …

Although the formation of zeolites in geopolymers have been mentioned in many works, a
particular interest in geopolymer-zeolite composites started to increase very recently. Such …

Cement is the ubiquitous material upon which modern civilisation is built, providing long-
