Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are inorganic cementitious materials that are regarded as
potential substitutes for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) due to their better properties and …

Introduction The vast increase in CO2 and waste generation in recent decades has been a
major obstacle to sustainable development and sustainability. In construction industry, the …

Rubberized geopolymers are attracting attention as solutions to ecological issues caused by
increased production of industrial waste and used tires. However, the inconvenience of …

Fly ash (FA), ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS), and waste rubbers are solid
wastes widely spreading around the world, which requires recycling for the environment …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are increasingly attracting attention as a promising
sustainable alternative to Portland cement-based materials. This study presents the key …

The fly ash geopolymer with improved mechanical properties was prepared by a new
mixture alkali activator. In this paper, sodium tert-butanol, an organic strong alkali was used …

Seawater-based geopolymers potentially capitalize on the abundant seawater and reduce
the CO 2 emissions for marine/offshore constructions. Unlike the well-documented seawater …

The use of seawater (SW) to prepare geopolymers has attracted increasing attention, for its
potential to save fresh water and reduce carbon dioxide emission. However, the ions in SW …

Biochar can improve the mechanical properties of portland cement paste and concrete. In
this work, we produced algal biochar-zinc (biochar-Zn) and algal biochar-calcium (biochar …

Coal gangue (CG) is a residual product from coal mining and washing processes. The
reutilization of CG to produce geopolymers is a low-carbon disposal strategy for this …
