Mining is an important industry, accounting for 6.9% of global GDP. However, global
development promotes accelerated demand, resulting in the accumulation of hazardous …

The mining industry produces billions of tons of mine tailings annually. However, because of
their lack of economic value, most of the tailings are discarded near the mining sites …

This paper deals with the synthesis and thermal stability of one-part metakaolin geopolymer
composites containing high volume of spodumene tailings (Quartz Feldspar Sand; QFS) and …

This comprehensive review paper evaluates lithium slag (LS) as a promising precursor for
geopolymer concrete, focusing on its workability, strength, durability, and microstructure. In …

Geopolymer materials are used as construction materials due to their lower carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions compared with conventional cementitious materials. An example of a …

The demand for building and construction materials increases as the world population
keeps growing, thus increasing the need of shelter, as a basic human need. This increasing …

The generation of glass wool waste and mine tailings has raised increasing concerns. This
paper deals with the reuse of glass wool waste and lithium mine tailings from spodumene …

The recycling of industrial side streams is of interest for a sustainable use of resources and
from an environmental perspective. This paper deals with the reuse of copper slag and …

Glass wool waste remains a challenging waste fraction with relatively little utilization
prospects. The present study investigated the development of porous ceramic materials from …

Achieving a 1.5° C global temperature limit by 2050 has heightened the need for lithium
extraction for energy storage. This is touted by governments and industry as essential to a …
