"Waste glass used in ambient cured alkali-activated materials" by Yuqin Qian
Alkali-activated binder offers a large reduction in CO2 emissions (up to 80%) compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), promoting alkali-activated binder as a component of sustainable concrete constructions. Alkali-activated mortar and concrete exhibit better engineering properties and durability than OPC mortar and concrete, respectively. In addition, alkali-activated mortar and concrete can effectively include by-products and waste materials. Waste glass can be reused as raw material in the construction industry to reduce the negative impacts on the environment and preserve natural resourc...
