TL;DR: A review of one-part AAMs in terms of raw materials, activators, additives, mechanical and physical properties, curing mechanisms, hydration products, and environmental impacts can be found in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the drying shrinkage behavior of slag, fly ash and metakaolin-based binders with slag precursors is presented, and different solutions to limit the shrinkage are also presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined if fast-dissolving solid synthetic sodium metasilicate could be replaced by a combination of sodium hydroxide and slow dissolving silica derived from rice husk ash or microsilica in the preparation of one-part alkali-activated blast furnace slag mortar.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of chemically bonded ceramic methods that may be used to recycle mine tailings as raw materials, are reviewed while focusing in particular on two methods: 1) geopolymerization/alkali activation and 2) chemically bonded phosphate ceramics.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of immobilizing several heavy metals from gold mine tailings by reactive geopolymerization technique has been investigated, and the results show that various elements (Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn and Mn) from goldmine tailings are able to immobilize almost completely by alkali activation with proper co-binder material.
