Circular Alkali‐Activated Cements Based on EAF Slags and Biomass Bottom Ash Using Rice Husk Ash–Derived Sodium Silicate

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates sodium silicate (SS) solutions derived from rice husk ash (RHA) dissolved in 8 M NaOH as sustainable activators for alkali‐activated cements (AACs), compared with commercial SS. AACs were produced using a 50:50 blend of electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) and biomass bottom ash (BA). The effects of NaOH/RHA ratio (6.6–2.8)

Influence of Pulverized Lightweight Pumice Fine Aggregate on the Cement Mortar’s Dry Shrinkage

Journal of Engineering
The use of lightweight aggregates in cement concrete manufacturing solves the issue of drying shrinkage over the concrete's life span; nevertheless, the use of artificial lightweight sand may increase this issue in the cement mortar. This research looks

The Stability of Gyrolite and Influence of Fe(III)

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gyrolite (Ca4Si6O15(OH)2·4H2O) is a crystalline calcium silicate hydrate which forms hydrothermally and is primarily used as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment. The stability of gyrolite is poorly understood, as well as the potential impact of Fe, which can be present as an impurity in the raw materials used.

Monitoring the reduction in shrinkage cracking of mortars containing superabsorbent polymers [PDF]

, 2017
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is characterized by a low water-to-cement ratio, leading to improved durability and mechanical properties. However, the risk for autogenous shrinkage and cracking due to restrained shrinkage increases, which may ...

Reactivity Evolution of Mechanochemically Activated Laterite Used as a Supplementary Cementitious Material

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of laterite soil with high Al and Fe content has been investigated as a novel supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to replace traditional mineral materials for clinker substitution. High‐energy ball milling was used to mechanochemically activate laterite and change its reactivity.

Mechanochemical Deep Impact: Delivering Sustainable Synthesis and Hydrogen Innovation

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 4, 25 February 2026.
Planetary ball milling unlocks sustainable routes to advanced materials and hydrogen. Transient extreme conditions created during collisions drive highly efficient transformations, enabling the synthesis of visible‐light‐active TiO2, alkoxysilanes, and hydrogen through impact‐induced mechanochemistry.
