Sustainable solidification of ferrochrome slag through geopolymerisation: a look at the effect of curing time, type of activator and liquid solid ratio

open access: yesSustainable Environment Research, 2019
Ferrochrome (FeCr) slag was used as a precursor for the synthesis of a geopolymer. The effect of KOH concentration, liquid solid ratio (L/S), content of potassium metalisicate (KS) or potassium aluminate (KA), curing time on the unconfined compressive ...

Geopolymer: A Systematic Review of Methodologies

open access: yesMaterials, 2022
The geopolymer concept has gained wide international attention during the last two decades and is now seen as a potential alternative to ordinary Portland cement; however, before full implementation in the national and international standards, the geopolymer concept requires clarity on the commonly used definitions and mix design methodologies.

The Role of Awareness in Sustainable Construction Materials Uptake in Developing Economies: Evidence From Nigeria

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Construction Materials (SCM) are crucial for reducing lifecycle emissions in the built environment, yet their adoption remains limited in many developing economies, such as Nigeria. This study investigates how awareness influences the adoption of SCM among professionals in Nigeria's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC)

Cold‐curing effects on the strength development and sulfuric acid resistance of basalt fiber‐reinforced hybrid alkali‐activated slag mortars

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold weather conditions impose substantial constraints upon the performance and long‐term resilience of concrete materials. Alkali‐activated slag (AAS) presents itself as a promising substitute, exhibiting sustained hydraulic activity even when exposed to ambient conditions characterized by low temperatures.

Fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete with ambient curing for in-situ applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Geopolymer concrete is proven to have excellent engineering properties with a reduced carbon footprint. It not only reduces the greenhouse gas emissions (compared to Portland cement based concrete) but also utilises a large amount of industrial waste ...

The Effect of Alkaline Activator Types on Strength and Microstructural Properties of Geopolymer from Co-Combustion Residuals of Bamboo and Kaolin

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2018
Geopolymer as a Portland cement substitute had been synthesized from alkaline activation of co-combustion residuals of bamboo and kaolin. Types of used alkaline activators were NaOH solution, KOH solution, a mixture of NaOH solution-water glass, and a ...

Alkali-Silica Reaction Resistance and Pore Solution Composition of Low-Calcium Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2020
Low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer concrete is generally reported to be less vulnerable to alkali-silica reaction (ASR) than conventional ordinary Portland cement concrete.

Bacterial healing of cracks in metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete exposed to high temperatures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the bacterial healing of metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete modified with colemanite (K) and red mud (RM) exposed to high temperatures. The metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete samples modified with 4% K and 6% RM were prepared.
