Durability of a Cementitious Matrix Based on Treated Sediments
TL;DR: In this article, the durability of a new cement matrix based on dredged marine sediment from the Dunkirk-Harbour (northern France) was studied. But the results of most of those tests evidenced the fact that the mortar that contained 10% of the treated sediment is as efficient and durable as the reference mortar itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
A state of the art review to enhance the industrial scale waste utilization in sustainable unfired bricks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the research outcomes related to waste incorporated unfired bricks, highlighting the manufacturing aspects from an industrial point of view, including mix proportions, mixing strategies, molding methods, and curing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaching and geochemical behavior of fired bricks containing coal wastes.
TL;DR: Evaluating the geochemical behavior of fired bricks containing different types of coal wastes showed that the release of constituents of potential interest was highly reduced after thermal treatment and were immobilized within the glassy matrix of the fired bricks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the engineering properties of cementless stabilized earth blocks with alkali-activated eggshell and rice husk ash as a binder
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to develop geopolymer technology to produce stabilized earth blocks using rice husk ash, eggshell powder and caustic soda, and different combinations of the mixture were taken into consideration to determine the optimum mix proportions of the constituents.

Development of better insulation bricks by adding mushroom compost wastes
Pedro Muñoz Velasco,Ma Pilar Morales Ortiz,Manuel Antonio Mendívil Giro,Manuel Celso Juárez Castelló,Luis Muñoz Velasco +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of spent mushrooms compost (SMC), as a new additive to produce bricks with better insulation and in a more sustainable way, was investigated, and the authors determined how SMC adding varies properties of fired clay bricks and whether it is a viable solution for recycling SMC.

Geopolymers : inorganic polymeric new materials
TL;DR: In the last few years, technological progress has been made in the development of new materials such as "geopolymers" and new techniques, such as ''sol-gel'' as mentioned in this paper, opening up new applications and procedures and transforming ideas that have been taken for granted in inorganic chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkali-activated fly ashes: A cement for the future
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanism of activation of fly ash with highly alkaline solutions is described, and the product of the reaction is an amorphous aluminosilicate gel having a structure similar to that of zeolitic precursors.

An environmental evaluation of geopolymer based concrete production: reviewing current research trends
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a detailed environmental evaluation of geopolymer concrete production using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology and found that the production of most standard types of OPC concrete has a slightly lower impact on global warming than standard Ordinary Portland Cement.
