Geopolymer Cement for mitigation of Global Warming
Up to 90% reduction of CO2 Greenhouse Gas emission during cement manufacture Professor J. Davidovits started working on CO2 emissions mitigation as earlier as 1990, at PennState Materials Research Laboratory, Pennstate University, USA. Unfortunately, American Agencies (DOE and EPA) stated that this was not an important issue and both institutions declined to support research proposals. [...]
Geopolymer cement for storage of toxic and radioactive wastes
GEOpolymeric Cements for Innocuous Stabilisation of Toxic EleMents Geosynthesis of Rock-based Geopolymer cements was the objective of the European multidisciplinary BriteEuram industrial research project GEOCISTEM. The project titled cost effective GEOpolymeric Cements for Innocuous Stabilization of Toxic EleMents, in short GEOCISTEM, started on Jan. 1994 and has been completed on June 1997. In J. Davidovits’ [...]
