A sustainable calcined water treatment sludge and rice husk ash geopolymer
Ekkasit Nimwinya,Weerachai Arjharn,Suksun Horpibulsuk,Tanakorn Phoo-ngernkham,Anurat Poowancum +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, which reflects the characteristics of chemical compositions of WTS and RHA, and the heat-curing temperature (at room temperature and 60°C) on density, setting time and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) were investigated.

Utilization of sweet sorghum fiber to reinforce fly ash-based geopolymer
TL;DR: In this article, the reinforcement of fly ash-based geopolymer with alkali-pretreated sweet sorghum fiber was investigated, and the results indicated that the unit weight of the sweet-sugar-fiber-geopolymer composite decreases with higher fiber content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkali activation behaviour of un-calcined montmorillonite and illite clay minerals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of alkali activation on 2:1 clay minerals such as montmorillonite and illite and showed that they can be used as precursors for low carbon, low cost, geopolymer-stabilised construction materials.

Biosolids: What are the different types of reuse?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the possible alternatives to reuse the biological sewage sludge (BS) in order to increase matter recovery and discuss the reuse of BS as adsorbent materials and as a source of phosphorus.

An investigation on use of paper mill sludge in brick manufacturing
Gaurav Goel,Ajay S. Kalamdhad +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results of an exploratory experimental study to manufacture eco-friendly lightweight bricks through binary mix of paper mill sludge (PMS) and soil were reported, and an optimum mix of 10% PMS with both soil types was found suitable for brick production at a firing temperature of 900°C.
