Geopolymer is a ceramic material, most often amorphous; finds applications in fire-and heat-
resistant coatings and adhesives, medicines, refractory ceramics and binders, and …

Kaolin can satisfy the world demand for filler, paper and ceramic industries. Kaolin converts
to a pozzolan material named metakaolin (MK) after suitable thermal treatment. MK can be …

Due to its low hydraulic reactivity, ladle slag is currently underutilized with nearly 80% of
annual generation is either landfilled or dumped. This work investigates the joint activation …

Ladle slag is a by-product of secondary steel treatment. A typical management option for
ladle slag is stockpiling in open yards. Given the massive production quantities of such …

The development of new binders, as an alternative to Portland cement (PC), by alkaline
activation, is a current researchers interest. Alkali-activated metakaolin (AAMK), belongs to …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have high potential as alternative binder to ordinary
portland cement (OPC), because of their high performance beside lower CO2 emissions …

This work investigated the recycling the large quantities of phosphogypsum, generated by
phosphoric acid plants, by exploring its potential use as a precursor in alkali-activated …

This study examines the effect of various parameters on the properties of alkali-activated
composites made with unprocessed ladle furnace slag. Taguchi method was used to design …

The type of steel furnace slag (SFS), including electric arc furnace (EAF) slag, basic oxygen
furnace (BOF) slag, ladle metallurgy furnace (LMF) slag, and argon oxygen decarburization …

Rice husk ash (RHA), a by-product from the rice industry, was used as principal source of
amorphous silica for the production of sodium silicate solution (MR∼ 3) used for the …
