This study delved into the utilization of waste glass powder (WGP) and ground granulated
blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) as a binder and waste glass cullet (WGC) fine aggregate in fly …

Heat-stored cement-based materials (HSCMs) with form-stable phase change materials
(PCMs) have exhibited tremendous opportunities for energy conservation and emission …

Considering recent climate changes, special importance is given to any attempt to depollute
and protect the environment. A circular economy seems to be the ideal solution for the …

Copper slag (CS) exhibits pozzolanic activity in alkaline cementitious systems, making it a
suitable supplementary cementing material for cemented tailings backfill (CTB) with reduced …

Utilizing Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) as a precursor for alkali-activated mortar
production reduces waste and supports alternative cement binders. Since the mix design …

Despite its established reputation and extensive testing as an alternative to conventional
cement, geopolymer continues to heavily rely on natural aggregates. The disposal of waste …

Granite waste powder (GWP) is a solid waste produced during stone processing, and its
accumulation has brought serious environmental and ecological problems. Due to its rich Si …

Fly ash (FA) is the most used aluminosilicate precursor to synthesize geopolymer. However,
as a coal-combustion by-product, the inherent characteristics of FA can be significantly …

Geopolymers are synthesized by alkali or acid activation of aluminosilicate materials. This
paper critically reviews the synthesis kinetics and formation mechanism of geopolymers. A …

A lot of energy is released during the cement manufacturing process, and a large amount of
carbon dioxide (CO2) is discharged into the environment. Presently, researchers are …
