Influence of clay minerals and associated minerals in alkali activation of soils
Construction and Building Materials, 2019 Alkali activation is promising for low environmental impact soil stabilisation. Given soils’ complexity, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of how the different components in soil influence their alkali activation behaviour.

Assessing alkali activation of waste stone wool from greenhouses combined with direct foaming or granulation to obtain recycled plant substrate [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] [PDF]
Open Research EuropeBackground Stone wool is commonly used as a plant substrate in soilless cultivation and discarded after one growing season. Stone wool waste is difficult to recycle, and thus it is typically landfilled.
