#16: Environmentally Driven Geopolymer Cement Applications
Environmentally Driven Geopolymer Cement Applications. by Joseph Davidovits Invited Paper, Geopolymer 2002 International Conference, October 28-29, Melbourne, Australia Environmentally driven geopolymer applications are based on the implementation of (K,Ca)-Poly(sialate-siloxo) / (K,Ca)-Poly(sialate-disiloxo) cements. In industrialized countries (Western countries) emphasis is put on toxic waste (heavy metals) and radioactive waste safe containment. On the opposite, in emerging [...]
#15: 30 Years of Successes and Failures in Geopolymer Applications
30 Years of Successes and Failures in Geopolymer Applications. Market Trends and Potential Breakthroughs. by Joseph Davidovits Invited Paper, Geopolymer 2002 International Conference, October 28-29, Melbourne, Australia The presentation included 30 slides describing following geopolymer applications developed since 1972 in France, Europe and USA. The Geopolymer chemistry concept was invented in 1979 with the creation [...]
