TL;DR: This experimental study demonstrates that 1 ton of fly-ash could sequester up to 26 kg of CO(2), i.e. 38.18 ton ofFly-ash per ton ofCO(2) sequestered, and confirms the possibility to use this alkaline residue for CO( 2) mitigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used X-ray diffraction to determine the lime carbonatation kinetics of bricks made of a mixture of lime and hemp shives and found that both thermal conductivity and mechanical properties increase with the mortar density.

TL;DR: The current widespread use of calcium silicate or aluminate hydrate binder systems in the construction industry finds its roots in the Antique world where mixtures of calcined lime and finely ground reactive (alumino-)silicate materials were pioneered and developed as competent inorganic binders as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The current widespread use of calcium silicate or aluminate hydrate binder systems in the construction industry finds its roots in the Antique world where mixtures of calcined lime and finely ground reactive (alumino-)silicate materials were pioneered and developed as competent inorganic binders. Architectural remains of the Minoan civilization (2000-1500 BC) on Crete have shown evidence of the combined use of slaked lime and additions of finely ground potsherds to produce stronger and more durable lime mortars suitable for water-proof renderings in baths, cisterns and aqueducts (Spence and Cook 1983). It is not clear when and where mortar technology evolved to incorporate volcanic pumice and ashes as a functional supplement. A plausible site would be the Akrotiri settlement at Santorin (Greece), where archeological indications of strong ties with the Minoan culture were found and large quantities of suitable highly siliceous volcanic ash were present. This so-called Santorin earth has been used as a pozzolan in the Eastern Mediterranean until recently (Kitsopoulos and Dunham 1996). Evidence of the deliberate use of this and other volcanic materials by the ancient Greeks dates back to at least 500-400 BC, as uncovered at the ancient city of Kamiros, Rhodes (Efstathiadis 1978; Idorn 1997). In the subsequent centuries the technological knowledge was spread to the mainland (Papayianni and Stefanidou 2007) and was eventually adopted and improved by the Romans (Mehta 1987). The Roman alternatives for Santorin earth were volcanic pumices or tuff found in neighboring territories, the most famous ones found in Pozzuoli (Naples), hence the name pozzolan, and in Segni (Latium). Preference was given to natural pozzolan sources, but crushed ceramic waste was frequently used when natural deposits were not locally available. The exceptional lifetime and preservation condition of some of the most famous Roman buildings such as the Pantheon or the Pont du …

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were conducted on a highly expansive clay soil treated with lime in order to study the lime-soil reaction over a short term and the progression of the pozzolanic reaction over longer term.
