Accelerated and natural carbonation of concrete with high volumes of fly ash : chemical, mineralogical and microstructural effects [PDF]
Today, a rather poor carbonation resistance is being reported for high-volume fly ash (HVFA) binder systems. This conclusion is usually drawn from accelerated carbonation experiments conducted at CO2 levels that highly exceed the natural atmospheric CO2 ...

Monitoring the reactivity of pozzolans by thermogravimetric method
This work focuses on comparing the effect of ten different types of pozzolans on the strength of lime pastes in relation to their pozzolanic activities as determined by the Chapelle test and monitoring the reactivity of these pozzolans using the ...

Solidification/stabilisation of soil contaminated with metal: a review [PDF]
Solidification/stabilisation (S/S) is generically defined as a chemical and physical alteration technique of reducing the mobility as well as solubility of contaminants in wastes in order to convert them into chemically inert form.

The construction industry significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions, with cement production being a major factor. Concurrently, large quantities of crushed fly ash brick (CFAB) waste accumulate due to manufacturing defects. In this study, CFAB powder was developed as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) by partially replacing cement in ...
